Washington recently welcomed Rancid, My Chemical Romance, and blink-182 on the 2011 Honda Civic Tour. The night was packed full of roaring crowds, awesome bands, and sex jokes (courtesy of Mr. Tom DeLonge). But honestly, what is a blink-182 concert without the mention of bj's and wait...Justin Bieber? Don't worry, the two subjects did not coincide, yikes! But before these nonsensical ramblings occurred, there were two sets that were sure to deliver a jaw-dropping time.

Rancid opened the show, and while I was amongst many teenagers who had never indulged in their music (nor had…

Currently I am burdened with heavy post-concert depression but while I yearn for the opportunity to revisit that night, I know that I would not be in this state if it were not for the show being completely kick-ass! While I won't dwell on the fact at how disappointing it was to be informed that fun. would not be attending the Portland date, I must say their set would have been far more superior than that of their replacements', local band…

After an extremely long couple of weeks, I was eager to indulge myself in a very mellow show. Opening was Austin Gibbs and while I had never heard his music, he performed with a great deal of enthusiasm that caused an uproar from the crowd. Shortly after, The Maine took the stage with a multitude of hilarities, songs of nostalgia, and a teenage fan accompanying John O'Callaghan on stage and taking over the mic...there may or may not have been a little bromance. Lastly, Augustana satisfied the audience with a flawless and beautiful set. I am envious of those who…

Here's a little look at My Chemical Romance currently on tour promoting their latest album, "Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys". If they come to your city, I suggest you go see them!

Here are some shots I took of Justin Nozuka on the You I Wind Land and Sea tour. It was one of the most relaxing shows I've ever experienced. If you get a chance, check him out on tour!







ps. I realize all of these photos look similar. It is the result when I am happily stationed in…

Catch the boys in A Rocket to the Moon on the Shout It Out tour with Tulsa, OK natives, Hanson. They'll be stopping by The Moore on September 23 so enjoy a great show! I'll be sidestage for the Portland date so if you see me say "Suppp!"

The fairgrounds were sweltering but it was so worth it! Aside from sweating my ass off, life at Warped this year was made so much easier with a press/photo pass that I do not want to revert back to being pressed against 100 0ther teenage sweat-machines while trying everything in my power to guard my camera. It's these little perks that made this year's Warped nothing shy of INCREDIBLE!

Take a look at a few shots I took of Breathe Carolina, Mayday Parade, and The Cab.

This quartet is currently on the road for the Take Action Tour that spotlights exceptional charities such as this year's featured organization, Driving For Donors. A Rocket to the Moon will be sharing the stage with other incredible acts including We the Kings, Mayday Parade, There For Tomorrow, Stereo Skyline!, and Call the Cops!

Be sure to come out and support a life-altering charity while listening to some awesome music!

Throw together absurd fist pumping, eight over-tanned, over-gelled Italians, and a few cameras and you have MTV’s latest poor excuse of a reality show, Jersey Shore.

As a young adult I have found myself easily thrusted into the consumption of what can arguably be considered reality television. I admit to finding entertainment in discovering whether the 16-year-old’s baby daddy is finally going to get off of his lazy ass or which performer will ultimately be unveiled at the “BEST PARTY EVER!” Although I often indulge in these idiotic…
