“Sold my soul to that sweet melody / Now I’m gone, now I’m gone, now I’m gone” The Who: Barns Courtney (London, England) The What: Walk, run, walk only to run again. Oddly (or perhaps, very intentionally) the simple visual for Barns Courtney’s “Fire” video mirrors the fits and starts in momentum that he has experienced enroute to his current success […]
Brandon Soo Hoo has achieved quite at age 20, with an acting career that started 10 years ago! Presently you can hear his voice in the new Justice League vs Teen Titans film where he plays Beast Boy. Also, he’s probably got the best quickfire answer for cups in the cupboard right-side up or up-side down we’ve heard yet. There […]
The Who: The New Regime The What: Yes, Ilan Rubin may be best known for his drum work with Nine Inch Nails, Angels & Airwaves and Paramore, but as The New Regime Rubin fleshes out an entirely separate musical persona all his own and one very rock-centric.

So it goes for Indio Downey (vox, guitar) and Ralph Alexander […]
This week, after that nerve-wrecking Season One finale of A&E’s Damien, we’re pinning down cast mates Megalyn E.K. (DC Comics fans may recognize her as Vixen) and Omid Abtahi to tackle our quick fire challenge. It’s sort of a competition within a competition; can they defeat The Virginmarys? Or, at least, their fellow cast mates Bradley James & Barbara Hershey? […]
The Who: Kaleo (Austin, TX by way of Iceland) The What: With a sound that is a dynamic blending of the earthiest aspects of folk, rock, country and blues, Kaleo (JJ Julius Son, vox, guitar; David Antonsson, drums; Daniel Kristjansson, bass; Rubin Pollock, guitar) were a national musical treasure back home in Iceland.
