This evening’s conclusion of Rockville’s second stage headline set is a more conventional, albeit still glefully helter-skelter, affair. UK fans who caught last year’s landmark Slam Dunk headline shows will have a fair idea of what Jeremy and the boys throw at a show like this. They toss out lashings of confetti, eyebrow-scorching pyro, reams of ticker-tape that could blot out the sun, and enough dudes with T-shirt cannons to to trigger PTSD in fans of Maude Flanders. But it’s how the music reflects that maximalist attitude that makes them perfect for festivals like this – in Florida or anywhere…

This week we celebrate ‘The Greatest Album Ever Made’ :Ocean Rain, by Echo & The Bunnymen.Released the 4th of April, 1984.The claim comes from the band themselves. With typical bravado, they dubbed it that before its release. And you know what?They weren’t very far off.It’s a straight up masterpiece.The funny thing is it’s not even my favorite of theirs. If pressed, Porcupine and Heaven Up Here edge it out by a hair, but objectively Ocean Rain is their best record.I absolutely adore it.It’s a musical adventure padded with lush strings, eastern instrumentation and scales, and they break new ground as…

“This shit right here is a dream come true,” gushes Chris Motionless. King Goth even smiles a big, sweet, grateful grin as he says it. Motionless In White are no strangers to Rockville, but tonight is a spoopy celebration for King Goth and co. “This is the first time we’ve played in the dark… where we feel at home.” Today’s storm-related show stop has been a drag for many. For the Pennsylvania poltergeists, though, it’s not been all bad luck, as they’ve ended up with a later, and thus even more nocturnal, stage time than originally planned. Second only to…
