Candiria

Chris' picks include Cold As Life, Candiria, and more, and he talked about why each one deserves to be acknowledged as one of the all-time greats...

Candiria guitarist John LaMacchia's Spylacopa project have covered a song by Dave Navarro and Eric Avery's short-lived mid '90s Jane's Addiction offshoot Deconstruction.

“'Baby Bitch' is not only my favorite Ween song of all time it is also one of my all time favorite break up songs,” says Spylacopa leader (and Candiria guitarist) John LaMacchia.

The video also includes a parody of that Danzig interview with his books.

Plus: The Bronx/The Explosion, Fucked Up, AlunaGeorge, Vision of Disorder, Heron Oblivion, Beach Rats, Anika, OSHUN, Candiria, The Knocks, Nels Cline, and more NYC-area shows on sale.

Plus: Yo La Tengo, Bonny Doon, 'Dark Side of the Mule' and more recently announced tours.

Two East Coast hardcore festivals were recently announced for this April.

Killswitch Engage are once again hitting the road with thrash legends Anthrax (no NYC-area shows), and after that they'll play some shows with Hatebreed and Candiria...

Warped Tour this year includes GWAR, Sick Of It All, Municipal Waste, TSOL, Adolescents, War On Women, Candiria, Hatebreed, and more.

War On Women issued a statement on why they're playing the often-mocked fest: "We feel like we're in a unique position to infiltrate what could be a hostile environment, and ensure that women's voices are heard."
