One of KZSC’s favorite Oakland four piece bands, Shannon & The Clams, have just released Dreams in the Rat House. We haven’t heard anything from them since the Gremlin Crawl 7″ so this is a HUGE DEAL. Best of all: the album was recorded in the Santa Cruz mountains. All you Clams fans out there…

Loud Rock Charts: 5/21
By Trevor Mascarenhas | Published May 20th, 2013After getting beaten and bruised at the Dillinger Escape Plan show, it was nice to take some time off and relax to some of the new releases slated for this week.

CMJ Top 30
By Rock Director | Published May 19th, 2013This week’s charts at KZSC are a classic case of “tell me something I don’t know.” What we do know is that Thee Oh Sees are the most badass band on the planet.

Beck @ The Rio & Coping With Not Going
By New Media Director | Published May 18th, 2013Like me, you’re most likely disappointed that you didn’t get your ticket to see Beck at the Rio tomorrow night (and if you’re not you’re one lucky ticket holder).

Jim Morrison: Still Dead
By Michael Bryant | Published May 7th, 2013Unlike Tupac, the odds of seeing a holographic Jim Morrison are slim. But modern technology has produced the official Doors App, promising “to bring The Doors’ story to life” by delving deep into every aspect of their career. Materials used are from the band’s archive and dozens of other sources including over 40 short form…
Loud Rock Charts: 5/7
By Trevor Mascarenhas | Published May 6th, 2013Sodom’s Epitome of Torture dropped on our (metal)heads two weeks ago. What the hell? How did I miss that? More importantly, who’s the assbag that forget to send me a memo and do my job for me? Also, if you have yet to check out The Ocean’s newest record, you are sorely missing out on what is…
Loud Rock Charts: 4/30
By Trevor Mascarenhas | Published April 29th, 2013With these last adds/charts comes the end of April, and the beginning of something beautiful. And metal. Can we dub this month “Metal May”?
