Can 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.

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…

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.

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…

By Trevor Mascarenhas | Published June 18th, 2012Congratulations to all graduates of UCSC 2012! I personally went to my college’s (Crown) gradutation ceremony to see some of my closest friends move on to bigger and better things. It’ll be sad seeing some of them go, but I am very excited for what is in store for them. Once again, congrats to each…

Loud Rock Charts: June 6th
By Trevor Mascarenhas | Published June 5th, 2012Let’s all pretend like I actually remembered to post the charts and adds for last week. Here’s my excuse: finals. Finals finals finals finals finals. So much finals. And studying. At least I get to see Scale the Summit this Saturday. If anyone else is going to be there, let me know and we can…
Loud Rock Charts: May 15th
By Trevor Mascarenhas | Published May 14th, 2012At midnight tonight, Diablo 3 is hitting shelves, which means you, I, and millions of others are huddling together with their Mountain Dew and Dominoes Pizza for many, many sleepless nights. What better way to celebrate no sleep and no showers then listening to some new ear bursting (in that good way where it’s like…
