I just moved in to my new dorm yesterday here at UCSC. I’m living all by lonesome, and since I’ve moved in early the entire building is empty. That on top of the fact that I’ve been playing Slender and watching Marble Hornets recently isn’t doing any good to my sanity. At least I now know…
Loud Rock Charts: 8/27
By Trevor Mascarenhas | Published August 27th, 2012Some exciting news for our friends over at Criminal Records: the fine ladies in “basement rock” band The Kut have been chosen to play in Olympic Park on August 30th as part of the Paralympics festivities. It’s always awesome to see an all female band such as The Kut get some great opportunities to show…
Loud Rock Charts: 8/21
By Trevor Mascarenhas | Published August 20th, 2012Our thoughts here at KZSC go out to both Baroness and Periphery. We hope for a quick recovery for Baroness, and that everything is okay for Periphery and their family. You will be sorely missed on the rest of the Summer Slaughter tour, but that means I’ll just mosh even harder for you guys! ADDS…
Loud Rock Charts: 8/14
By Trevor Mascarenhas | Published August 13th, 2012Is it just me, or is it getting HOT AS BALLS? (Cue Nelly) Summer is getting fairly close to ending, so it should not be getting this damn hot. Speaking of hotness, my interview with The Contortionist’s lead singer is up for all those interested. Okay, that’s the last time I shamelessly plug it. I swear….
Loud Rock Charts: 8/6
By Trevor Mascarenhas | Published August 6th, 2012Can you believe its August already? I can’t. I still feel like it’s June. Pretty soon, us UCSC students have to go back to the grind that is school. I am not looking forward to upper division math homework. It’s gonna be bröötal. On a happier note, did anyone catch Usain Bolt’s insane run? Didn’t…
Loud Rock Charts: 7/31
By Trevor Mascarenhas | Published August 1st, 2012Apologies to the one or two people looking forward to the charts every week. I was out of town, and just got back. I arrive, however, with an interview with The Contortionist’s lead singer Jonathan Carpenter. Look forward to it in the coming weeks on the KZSC blogsite! ADDS 1 TESTAMENT Dark Roots Of Earth…
Loud Rock Charts: 7/17
By Trevor Mascarenhas | Published July 16th, 2012Ever been immensely excited for an album but when it finally comes out, you’re disappointed by how it turned out? I know the feeling, trust me. This summer however I have not been disappointed by a single record, not even the new hyped-up Periphery album. This is seriously turning out to be one of the…
Loud Rock Charts: July 10th
By Trevor Mascarenhas | Published July 9th, 2012If any of you out there are fans of metal (which, if you’re reading this, is a safe assumption), you better check out Baroness’ new album, Yellow and Green. They’re currently streaming it over http://www.npr.org/2012/07/08/156292608/first-listen-baroness-yellow-and-green. Also, here’s a relevant opportunity to plug my interview with Baroness’ Peter Adams! Follow the link for some awesome insight on…
Loud Rock Charts: July 3rd
By Trevor Mascarenhas | Published July 3rd, 2012Anyone excited for the upcoming Olympics? I sure as hell am. I can’t wait to see if Michael Phelps can repeat his phenomenal performance in Beijing. What I’m most excited for, though, is to watch Usain Bolt compete. Call me unamerican, but I love watching that man run. ADDS 1 VINTERSORG Orkan Napalm 2 BONDED…
Loud Rock Charts: June 26th
By Trevor Mascarenhas | Published June 26th, 2012Summer tours are beginning to roll around. Just last week I was at the Death to All Tour, this week I’ll be seeing Russian Circles, and the following month I’ve got The Contortionist (hopefully) and shortly after Summer Slaughter (insert metal roar here). If you’re into mosh pits and bleeding out your ears, you’ve got…
