Only slightly (super) jealous of the cities shown here who get to experience @thisisblocparty ‘sincredible first album in its entirety live. It’s a short list so I’m sure many more cities will be added. I’m thinking of a specific festival in Chicago that aligns well with this. 😉 . . . #audioaperture #music #musicmonday #musicreview #britpop #review #livemusic #silentalarm #greatmusic #tour #concert #musicislife #blocparty #fun (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvctaHyA14w/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15d84smytzeph

Our 1st “In Focus” micro interview with the incredible Matt Sucich. **swipe left** We came across Matt’s music through Adam Duritz, from @countingcrows It makes sense that Adam is a huge fan as they’re both incredible story tellers. Matt’s great new album “Thousand Dollar Dinners” came out last week. At bare minimum check out the songs “Back at Zero,” “I Want Everything,” & “Patient Man.” Dig into his back catalogue to listen to “Montauk” and “Fire on Bowery.” - you won’t regret it! . . . #singer #singersongwriter #songwriter #folk #folkmusic #folkmusician #popmusic #songs #livemusic #musicreview #musicreviews #interview #musician #musiciansofinstagram #acousticguitar #rock #rockmusic #portrait #musicportrait #classicrock #countingcrows #adamduritz #livemusicphotography #musicphoto #blackandwhite #blackandwhiteportraits (at Evanston SPACE) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvQSGOPgkfO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=116lffuktdrfm

In preparation for @thursdayband ‘s final shows this weekend here’s a shot from their tour in support of their album “War All The Time.” Where “Full Collapse” put the genre on the map, #War All the Time” perfected it. It manages to be the most political album that barely covers actual politics. It inspires you to sing along to every word yet the album has very few hooks or choruses. . . #thursday #thursdayband #punk #punkrock #emo #screamo #rockmusic #rockandroll #concert #concertphotography #concertphoto #musicphotography #music #musicislife #punkstyle #passion #livemusicphotography #livemusicphotographer #mylife #photography #photographer #musicreview #chicago #chicagomusic https://www.instagram.com/p/BvDGQO8gcd7/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1v9sdlf23mo0c

#tbt with the band Thursday. Thursday will be playing their final shows this weekend in Brooklyn and we’re headed out to cover them. This diptych is from their first national tour in support of Their excellent album Full Collapse. Photographed at the fireside bowl. Full Collapse was the pinnacle album that put “screamo” on the map. The next few days will be all Thursday shots as they wind down their time as a band. . . . #thursday #thursdayband #hardcore #emo #screamo #fullcollapse #warallthetime #metal #punk #punkrock #rockandroll #🤘 #🤟🏻 #livemusic #music #livemusicphotography #livemusicphotographer #livemusicphotos #concertphotography #concertphotographer #concertphoto #punkhardcore #firesidebowl #chicago #chicagomusic #newjerseymusic (at Fireside Bowl) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvAZjRogg92/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=oc027pcpu7th

Alkaline Trio’s incredible sophomore album “Maybe I’ll Catch Fire” is 19 years old today. We remember almost getting mugged outside of the fireside bowl for its album release party. Then singing “Radio” at the top of our lungs on a snowy Chicago night, but to be fair, who doesn’t STILL sing “Radio” at the top of their lungs?!?! . . . #alkalinetrio #alkalinetriorecords #maybeillcatchfire #skiba #firesidebowl #mattskiba #chicago #chicagomusic #scene #emo #punk #punkrock #rockandroll #rock&roll #rockmusic #fire #chicagomusicscene #chicagoscene #musicreview #trio #alkaline #asianmanrecords https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu_YZbyggqm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ntsvck5fi3ai

The Prodigy I’m terribly saddened by the passing of Prodigy’s Keith Flint. Getting to work with them was an absolute dream come true and I’m so grateful for it. Photo taken in 2015 I think. It was a rare situation where I was slightly nervous due to their intense persona. They couldn’t have been nicer. Keith was quiet, humble, and kind. The Prodigy has always been my favorite electronic group, I was never a huge electronic music fan but to me, they made electronic punk rock. RIP Keith.

Text, call, IM, or @ me.
