Fall Out Boy's triumphant return

There are two songs called “Thriller” on my iPod.

Mo' money, 'new' problems

The career of Boston pop-punk outfit Transit has been characterized by musical baby steps. Their first effort, ‘This Will Not Define Us,’ was surprisingly derivative in definition, blending melodic sensibility while flying the no-holds-barred flag of the New England scene.
