    Sean McCulloch – Lead Vocals Daniel Gailey – Guitar, Backing Vocals Bryce Kelly – Bass, Backing Vocals Lee Humarian – Drums Utter and complete reinvention isn’t the only way to destroy boundaries. Oftentimes, the most invigorating renewal in any particular community comes not from a generation’s desperate search for some sort of unrealized frontier, but from a reverence for the strength of its foundation. The steadfast metal fury of PHINEHAS is focused, deliberate, and unashamed. Across three albums and two EPs, the Southern California quartet has proven to be both herald of the genre’s future and keeper of its glorious past. The New Wave Of American Metal defined by the likes of As I Lay Dying, Shadows Fall, Unearth, All That Remains, Bleeding Through, and likeminded bands on the Ozzfest stage and on the covers of heavy metal publications has found a new heir in PHINEHAS. Even as the NWOAM owed a sizeable debt to Europe’s At The Gates and In Flames and North America’s Integrity and Coalesce, PHINEHAS grab the torch from the generation just before them. The four men of mayhem find themselves increasingly celebrated by fans, critics, and contemporaries, due to their pulse-pounding brutality. Make no mistake: PHINEHAS is not a simple throwback. PHINEHAS is a distillation of everything that has made the genre great since bands first discovered the brilliant results of combining heavy metal’s technical skill with hardcore punk’s impassioned fury. SEAN MCCULLOCH has poured his heart out through his throat with decisive power, honest reflections on faith and doubt, and down-to-earth charm since 2007.

Wiley Hitchcock Institute for Studies in American Music Conservatory of Music, Brooklyn College of the City University of New York Volume XLIV, Number 2 Spring 2015 Black and White, then “Red” All Over: Chicago’s American Negro Music Festival Mark Burford, Reed College The functions of public musical spectacle in 1940s Chicago were bound up with a polyphony of stark and sometimes contradic- tory changes. Chicago’s predominantly African American South Side had become more settled as participants in the first waves of the Great Migration established firm roots, even as the city’s “Black Belt” was newly transformed by fresh arrivals that bal- looned Chicago’s black population by 77% between 1940 and 1950. Meanwhile, over the course of the decade, African Ameri- cans remained attentive to a dramatic narrowing of the political spectrum, from accommodation of a populist, patriotic progres- sivism to one dominated by virulent Cold War anticommunism. Sponsored by the Chicago Defender, arguably the country’s flagship black newspaper, and for a brief time the premiere black-organized event in the country, the American Negro Music Festival (ANMF) was through its ten years of existence respon- sive to many of the communal, civic, and national developments during this transitional decade.

  • Simple Plan Is a Canadian Pop Punk Band, Which Was Created in 1999
    Simple Plan is a Canadian pop punk band, which was created in 1999. The bend became famous in relative short time. The band has had no line up changes since its inception. The members of the band are Pierre, Chuck, Jeff, Charles, Sebastien and David. Pierre Charles Bouvier was born on 9th May in 1979. He is the lead singer. He also plays a guitar and writes lyrics. The song "Save You" on the album titled "Simple Plan" is about his brother that struggled with cancer. Jean-François Stinco was born on August 22nd in 1978. He is the lead guitarist. He received the nickname Jeff, because many of his non-French fluent friends couldn't pronounce 'Jean-François', so they began to call him 'JF', leading to Jeff. Charles-Andre "Chuck" Comeau born on September 17th 1979 is the drummer. He is sometimes known as the "writer" of the band as he does most of the lyrics besides Pierre, writes all the concepts, and writes the scripts to Simple Plan's music videos. David Philippe Desrosiers was born in August 29th in 1980. He is the bassist and backing vocalist of the band. Sebastien Lefebvre was born on June 5th in 1981 and is the rhythm guitarist and vocalist. Simple Plan began in 1995 with the formation of a band named Reset. The group members were 13 years old friends Pierre , Chuck, Philippe, and Adrian. The first album, No Worries, was released in 1998. After that album Chuck and Pierre left soon after to go to college. Two years later they met with high school friends Jeff and Sebastien who were in separate bands of their own, and they combined to create the band.

  • Arthur Russell and the Queering of Gay Disco
    144 Tim Lawrence “I Want to See All My Friends At Once’’: Arthur Russell and the Queering of Gay Disco Tim Lawrence University of East London Disco, it is commonly understood, drummed its drums and twirled its twirls across an explicit gay-straight divide. In the beginning, the story goes, disco was gay: Gay dancers went to gay clubs, celebrated their newly liberated status by dancing with other men, and discovered a vicarious voice in the form of disco’s soul and gospel-oriented divas. Received wisdom has it that straights, having played no part in this embryonic moment, co-opted the culture after they cottoned onto its chic status and potential profitability. With Sylvester and John Travolta marking out the polar opposites of disco’s terrain, it was supposed to be easy to spot the difference. The sequined black gay falsetto, who delivered soul and gospel-charged disco, embodied the movement’s gay roots, while the white straight hustling star of Saturday Night Fever, who was happiest dancing to the shrill pop of the Bee Gees, represented its commercialization and suburbanization. In this article, how- ever, I want to refract this popular analysis through a queer lens in order to explore not just the mixed composition of early dance crowds, which I take to be historically given (Lawrence 2004a: 22, 31, 104), but, more impor- tantly, the way in which both the dance floor experience and disco’s musical aesthetics could be said to be queer (rather than gay). I will also examine how disco producers, responding to the mainstreaming of disco culture from the mid-1970s onwards, took the genre in fresh and unsettling directions.
