Q&A: id’s CEO discusses his studio’s new multiplatform strategy, aversion to Wii development, Quake Live, Doom 4, and unannounced projects. In late February, id Software launched Quake Live, a browser-based free-to-play remake of Quake III Arena. Currently in open beta, the service will be entirely ad-supported when it goes live later this year–or at least [...more info]
Jimmy Eat World
As emo has grown up, so has Jimmy Eat World. After a couple of stellar punk-pop records in the late 1990s they found themselves dropped from Capitol Records. Perhaps as a result, the band cleaned up its act considerably with 2001′s Bleed American, which they recorded without the assistance of any financial backing from a [...more info]
The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus
Flaunting an intentionally obtuse moniker, Red Jumpsuit Apparatus are another band further blurring the line between hardcore, screamo, punk and pop. The young act first came together in Middleburg, Fla., quickly gaining a grassroots following and major label interest. Rising through the ranks of their small local scene, RJA self-released a pair of EPs over [...more info]

The result was “Acid Jazz” and Jamiroquai’s 1993 debut “Emergency on Planet Earth” became a [...more info]
My Chemical Romance
In the new millennium My Chemical Romance brought the angsty punk sub-genre known as “emo” to the mainstream masses. With a sound and lyrical content fusing the teenage rage of early hardcore acts like Minor Threat with the gloomy introspection of the Cure and the Smiths and the over-the-top theatrics of Seventies arena bands like [...more info]
The Velvet Underground may have influenced hundreds of bands since the late 1960s, but it was Lou Reed’s second solo album Transformer (1972) that contained “Walk on the Wild Side,” a surprise hit single that introduced the iconoclastic New Yorker to the general public. That uneven album set the stage for much of his career [...more info]
A favorite among Progressive Trance followers for his epic DJ sets and larger-than-life original tunes, Holland-born DJ Tiesto rose to the forefront of the genre in record time. Not unlike contemporaries BT, Ferry Corsten, Paul Van Dyk and Sasha & Digweed (to name but a few), Tiesto’s take on Trance is anything but alienating. His [...more info]
