Even with chilling temperatures, country newcomer – and Indiana native – Corey Cox managed to heat up downtown Indianapolis Sunday afternoon.  As a part of the Super Bowl free concert series being offered, Cox and his band warmed up football fans when they took over the Verizon Stage on Georgia St.  To make things even better, Cox was joined at the end of the show by legendary writer and guitarist... 

The holidays are a time for tradition, and for some, there’s no better one than X103′s annual “Not So Silent Night” show. And who are they bringing in this year?  Just a rock sextet quickly making a name for themselves.

Imagine having your own record collection at six years old. Frank had one. He was, is, and always will be a huge Kiss fan. Not a surprise that Kiss is a influence. Frank grew up with the rise of hardcore punk bands such as Agnostic Front, Discharge, Broken Bones, and the Exploited. In the early 90’s Frank Novinec was a strong force in the up and comingClevelandhardcore scene with bands such as Ringworm,... 

It’s one of the most distinct areas of the greater Indianapolis area.  A popular destination amongst locals and tourists alike.

Same as Sunday Pt. 2 The end is near… One thing that is clear to basically anyone who has ever had the honor of speaking with or being involved with Same as Sunday, is that they truly care about the music scene. They spent the last seven years in growing the scene, not only for themselves but also for the players involved. They breathed life into this scene and intern themselves; it’s a lot of... 

Hard, fast, and in your face, Unearth is one of the greatest live shows out there. And there recordings are supreme as well. Not many bands can grip the crowd the way these guys seem to be able to. Darkness In The Light came out earlier this year and may be the big breakout album for the band. They have been building a large fan base for over 12 years. This is their 5th studio album and it seems that...
