Reel Big Fish started off at the perfect time for a ska band. Just as groups like No Doubt and Sublime began dominating rock radio in the mid-’90s, the Southern California six-piece started gaining attention for horn-heavy, punk-influenced ska.

Salon calls them “an internet punchline” and “the most hated band in America.” Gizmodo says “lame as hell.” Deadspin terms frontman Bono “an ass wipe.” (Just look at his face, he thinks he’s the Irish Nelson Mandela.) And the Daily Dot calls ’em “the new Nickelback.” We get it. They’re insufferable…
Stephan Jenkins has a connection to Miami that goes back two decades. He mixed his first record in South Beach with a producer who worked out of a hotel, a man he describes as a “big-shouldered Jersey tough guy.” To say they didn’t get on is being kind. Unhappy with…
When it comes to the tastes and inclinations of millennials, a few axioms hold unimpeachably true. Millennials love avocados and the dog Snapchat filter. Millennials reject the concept of napkins and are reluctant to buy homes, possibly because their budgets are only big enough to account for avocados. Millennials love…
Speaking to Greg Wilson is the journalistic equivalent of drunkenly gabbing with a friend over cigarettes. Having stepped outside of the party, you’re now free to rant, rave, and gesticulate as wildly as possible; ideas are exchanged, historical precedents are cited, and rhetorical positions are asserted, all in the name of sharing serious insights about unserious things. That is to say, music is a big deal to Wilson.

In most corners of the world, summer is the season when people shed layers of clothes to show off their skin, crank up the air conditioning to unnaturally frigid temperatures, and discover which parts of their bodies are prone to leaving sweat stains. By those metrics, it is always summer in Miami — a theme that will be celebrated with lots of rock ‘n’ roll during Miami’s Endless Summer, taking place Saturday, June 3, at Churchill’s Pub.
Across the nation, the word “summer” inspires cheers and excitement. In South Florida, however, the impending seasonal shift is usually met with groans and sighs. Low season in Miami has historically meant a tragic lack of events and parties for local music lovers. But several of music’s biggest names, along…

Around the turn of the century M.A.N.D.Y. was created and their story began. Their early release, “Put Put Put” must have sounded so proper at German nightclubs in 2001. It’s the ideal track to dress in all black and dance with stiff posture. “Body Language” was named “Ibiza Track of The Season” in 2005 which is like an Olympic Gold Medal for house music producers.
