Instagram Randomness 10/1/12
All photos posted here are taken with my iPhone 5 and have been posted on Instagram (Noizenews) at some point. Good photographs don’t have to be taken with a fancy camera in order to be relevant or entertaining. This series serves as a reminder of the importance and fun of photography as a tool for documentation!

Album Review: Larry and His Flask “Hobo’s Lament” (Score 92%)
By Mitch Planamento At first glance, the cover of Larry and His Flask’s six songs EP, Hobo’s Lament, looks like Jack Nichloson is flipping you off—which would be hilarious if it was actually him. Moving past that, half of this six song EP is made up of older songs (“Closed Doors”, “My Name is Cancer” and “Swing”). Although it would be preferable to have more than half the songs be new, the older songs do add to this overall wonderful work of intense prose hopped up on speed, dreams and ironically played music. LAHF do not disappoint with their consistent style of smoking strings plucked to the point of breaking,…

Melvins Lite @ Small’s 8/24/12 (Photos)
We could not miss watching the Melvins Lite (Buzz, Dale, and Trevor Dunn) perform in Hamtramck during their attempt to become the Guinness World Record holders for the first band to tour the full United States and D.C. in 51 days with a tour kicking off Sept. 5 in Anchorage, Alaska and wrapping up Oct. 25 in Honolulu, Hawaii. The legendary band sounded superb with no signs of wear and tear despite their grueling schedule. Small’s bar sold out the Detroit leg of this tour and people were packed into the performance room. Before the show Buzz Osbourne paced back and forth outside the venue seemingly in deep concentration to prepare for the…

The Wombats @ The Crofoot 9/21/12 (Photos, Review, & Setlist)
By Alexis Simpson After The Wombats show ended, two young girls were running around the ladies room squealing, “OMG Dan took my bracelet!!! He actually took it…” The other Wombats fans in the bathroom were a little older and knew it was no longer cool to act like a One Direction fan, but it was charming to see the two fans so worked up. It made me think back to when I first photographed The Wombats a year ago at Voodoo Fest in New Orleans. As soon as I posted those pics, BAM, those pics were devoured by the Tumblr girls and reblogged on tumblr’s like murphsexgod and fuckyeahwombats. Their…

AWOLNATION @ St. Andrew’s Hall 9/18/2012 (Photos & Review)
By Jacob Giampa Last Tuesday AWOLNATION made a stop in Detroit for their “Never Let Your Fear Decide your Fate” tour. More than half of their shows (including their Detroit show) have sold out due to how well the band performs together and the originality of their music. Imagine Dragons and Zeale are a part of this tour as well. Zeale was the first band of the night, they are a new Hip-Hop and Indie group from Austin, Texas. Since the group was in Detroit, the home of so many great MC’s, Zeale performed an entertaining freestyle rap using the audience-chosen words “orange,” “boat,” and “sexy.” The audience loved it, and the night…
