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,... 

The Pop Punks not Dead Tour didn’t make it to Indianapolis but it did make a stop at the Chicago House of Blues (HOB.) The night at the House of Blues was amazing from the moment we arrived til the moment the show ended. The show was sold out and the place was packed in every single crevice, I had never seen the HOB so full. There was an energy in the place that you could feel, so many people... 

You can’t underestimate the power of a good metal show. This was another step towards greatness for a few bands that continue to rise in the company of the genres that they keep. Each one’s music and style is slightly different than the other. They seemed to compliment each other as they ride through their set lists with power, poise, and pumping the crowd up for each following act. Until the end... 

      It’s been a while, but Five Finger Death Punch will be back in your face again this Sunday headlining the “Share the Welt” tour. The Death Punch tour will be supported by Rev Theory, All That Remains, and hardcore icons Hatebreed. This will prove to be one of the best metal shows you could ask for.      After releasing their third album American Capitalist on October 11th of this... 

   Hatebreed visiting Indianapolis has always been a treat. But, twice in a year, even better. Twice within four months? More than this guy could ever ask for. On November 6th Hatebreed will be sending pure aggression to your eardrums in the Egyptian room at The Old National Centre with Five Finger Death Punch, All that Remains, and Rev Theory for the “Share the Welt Tour”.    Hatebreed has... 

It’s a tale as old as time. The story of Beauty and the Beast has been around in years but was never a national sensation until Disney revamped the story and released an animated film in 1991. It became the first ever animated film to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Feature Film. How else could Disney captivate an audience than by developing what could be the best animated film of the... 

It was finally the day we had all been waiting for since their tickets sold out within a matter of minutes after going up on line; it was time to see Foster The People for the first time in Indianapolis and witness just how great they would be live…hopefully! Before I get straight into the amazingness of the concert though, I had to find somewhere perfect to watch the entire show from. So, since... 

There are no words to describe the epic experience that was The Avett Brothers’ concert on Saturday, October 1st at White River State Park.  I feel as though my heart exploded with joy, my mind was blown and my face was completely rocked off!   Now, don’t get me wrong, I may be somewhat partial to this spectacular band because I have been following them since 2006 when I first saw them at... 

From the excited chatter heard throughout the halls of the IBEW building to the first name called out to the final note that rang out through the room, one thing was for sure: It must be that time of year again. Hoosiers everywhere have their own holiday traditions.  Some decorate trees.  Some may sing carols.  Some may just take in all the Christmas specials that air on the local television... 

“Everything that has a beginning has an end”-The Matrix Revolutions Summer is over, and with that, so is summer concert season.  As always, it’s been a fun time, but now it’s time to return to a reality of colder weather and indoor concerts for a few months. But not before X103 has a chance to properly send off our favorite season. For the 17th time, “Indy’s...
