Charitable Monsters
If you have ever seen Columbus’ favorite band of 2011 live in concert, it’s very likely your face was melted off your skull by their fiery electro-rock tunes. The Town Monster is back and making plans to turn up the heat on 2012. Their first mission of the year: take a monster bite out of hunger. How will they complete this mission? By throwing a rockin’, drunkin’,...

Fanfarlo - Shiny Things
On Monday, NPR premiered Fanfarlo’s mind-bending new music video for their single “Shiny Things” from their upcoming release Rooms Filled With Light. The band also released a trippy video for the song “Replicate” last September. After these amazing teases, I am incredibly antsy to hear the rest of the album!
Rooms Filled With Light hits...

Have you hosted a touring band at your home?
Are you a band that prefers to stay with friends/fans while on the road?
Tell me about the best times you’ve had hosting/staying! Tell me about the nightmare guests/hosts! I’m compiling these tales (including my own) for a special Jack in the Pocket article. Being on the road is quite expensive so I’m always down to help touring bands out by offering them a free place to...

Max Wax :: Columbus, OH
Whenever I travel to a new city, I always try to seek out a record shop or two. When I was in Memphis last October, I was lucky enough to be staying half block away from Goner Records. In Pittsburgh, I stop by Jerry’s Records. If you find yourself in Columbus, Ohio, or if you happen to live in this awesome city, I recommend exploring the following shops…

Jack in the Pocket's TOP 10 ALBUMS of 2011
Let me break it down for you guys… I normally avoid making “Top” lists. First, because I suck at describing why one album is musically superior to another. I’m the type of person who listens to something and I either love it or hate it. I don’t enjoy analyzing their qualities. Music is so tightly wound with my identity, I find it almost impossible to be objective....

Original photo by Ed Luna, edited by Katie Pierce
What do you get in an age of illegal downloading, stream rips, and a struggling music industry? A beautiful, clever, entertaining, iron-clad album tease.
Bear in Heaven has released an early, slow, and steady stream of their new record, I Love You, It’s Cool. Catch is, it’s slowed to 400,000% below it’s normal speed. Leave...

On my roof… photo by Chip Willis
It’s common knowledge that I am a total nut for live music. Here is a list of shows coming up in Columbus, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Cincinnati that I recommend attending. If I could clone myself and had a flying car I would be at all of these, but the bolded concerts are the ones that I will (or try my darnedest) to attend. If you know of any...
