Maryland natives, All Time Low, released their latest CD this week titled, Nothing Personal, featuring 12 new catchy tracks aimed to please long time fans.

They have also released a music video for one of the songs, "Weightless." The video showcases a rather painfully sarcastic, but probably honest look into the world of ATL. Check it out.

Stuff that Rocks

Here's something that's a little different for Barricade Buzz. We're taking a crack at rock apparel and accessories. Here are some things that we think rock.

First up is the "Orpheus" wallet from BRAITHWAITE WALLETS INC. We're pretty sure no guitarist should be without this clever money holder, seeing show it holds guitar pics. Pure rock genius.

Next are WORN FREE t-shirts. Which, of course, we are giving away this Debbie Harry "No Pictures" from their collection. Email barricadebuzz@gmail.com with your name, number, address, and size by July 15 to win!




For the ladies, we're also loving Vera Wang's Rock Princess fragrance. It's not too overpowering, but it's got a distinct scent we like.

Might Could delivers delightful complexity

By Ben Cantlupe

In Adams Morgan, behind the confines of the worn brick walls of BOSSA bistro, adorned by black and white photographs of nude people indigenous to a place most of us have never been to, Might Could, the acoustic guitar quartet from College Park, MD had taken to the stage. This was the second performance of their first tour, which includes dates in New York, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Chicago. On the night of June 28, they traded sets with guitarist John Lee and his namesake group The John Lee Experience.

Might Could played selections from their two albums as a quartet (the very first album was a duo endeavor) as well a few new, unrecorded compositions. They performed “Machinery” from the album.... continue reading

Virgin Mobile Announce FreeFest

The Pilmco Raceway in Baltimore, Md has always been called "home" to Virgin Mobile USA's Virgin Mobile Fest. In recent years, this large end of the summer event has played host to big name acts like the Foo Fighters and Kayne West. Well, this year things are going to be radically different.

The event has moved out of Baltimore to the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Md, and has been aptly retitled, "Free Fest." That's right, this year's festival, to be held on August 30, will be FREE of charge. That may only be the second best part of the event, given that the headliners will be recently reunited Blink 182 and current tourmates, Weezer. Also scheduled to perform are Franz Ferdinand, Jet, Taking Back Sunday, Public Enemy and The Hold Steady.

The reason for Free Fest? Tough economic times. The event is hoping to please music fans who have had to cut back on luxuries, like concerts. 35,000 tickets will be made available for FreeFest. Virgin Mobile customers and past Virgin Fest ticket buyers will be invited to a private ticket sale on Thursday, June 24. General tickets will open to the public at 10 AM on Saturday, June 27. Tickets will be made available through TicketMaster, who have surprisingly agreed to waive their service fees for the event.

Please note that although Free Fest is free, attendees are encouraged to donate $5, which will go to surrounding homeless shelters. Also, VIP areas will be available to those who volunteer at least 13 hours at the shelters.
