I recently dug up a copy of my Network CD from back in 2003. If you don’t know, The Network (aka Network!), was a six piece new-wave band consisting of Green Day and some friends wearing masks and silly costumes. It was like, seriously weird. Each band member had a pseudonym and a background story.… Continue reading Remember when Green Day wore masks?

The Earth is Black is the new record to be released this month from Brooklyn based Soft Black, headed by Vincent Cacchione. The album was apparently inspired by a series of nightmares Cacchione had.

“Now That’s What I Call Music” the TV show
Simon Fuller, the evil genius behind all kinds of awful things is now making a show based on the equally awful “Now That’s What I Call Music” compilations.

Super Bowl Sunday…with like, some music
Despite Knox Road’s self-proclaimed label as a “music blog” (don’t know why we settled on that…), we would be remiss not to mention the biggest sporting event of the year. So everyone knows, we’re kinda all rooting against the heavily favored Steelers – what with Jamie from Philadelphia, Bob from Maryland (toss him into the… Continue reading Super Bowl Sunday…with like, some music
