Numero Group is a label (well a few labels) that release compilations, archival releases, and reconstructed albums, including several collections over the…

But with the playoffs in view and a historically tough division you need every win you can get. So, we…

REVIEW: Founding Fathers “Rapid Transit”
Founding Fathers, “Rapid Transit” Snax, 2013 I’ve read a lot on the topic of increasingly non-geographical musical landscapes. Those days of 70’s, 80’s, or even 90’s scenes in cities across the country spawning great bands, venues, labels that shaped my own musical development have been replaced by an internet age where the concept of belonging…

RECORD REVIEW: Megachurch – Megachurch
“Holy shit! These guys are fucking awesome!†That was how I responded when I first saw Megachurch play live at last year’s Aquabear County Fair. That exact same reaction held true when I first heard this album. Their music is a punch to the gut. It hurts a little bit, but it makes you feel…

COUNTY FAIR PREVIEW: Sun God
Cleveland’s Sun God have in the past described themselves as “arena punk… in a good way” and I completely agree. These guys contain members of Insurrect and countless other Cleveland bands of years past and they will definitely test your hearing threshold. They joined us at the 2nd annual Aquabear County Fair a few years…
