Make Waves

Looking for reviews and interviews!

Tue, 07 May 2013 21:22:44 -0400

If you are a band that is looking for some publicity, we are more than willing to write a review on your music and possibly interview you. We are open to all music styles, and we pretty much always write good and positive reviews.

For those of you who are not in bands or don’t know anyone looking for publicity, we have a job for you.
I (Alex) am not always able to attend every tour, which means that I don’t have the chance to photograph or interview many bands. This is where you come in. If you are going to an upcoming show, I might be able to hook you up with a photopass and an interview with a band playing.

Here are the jobs and qualifications:

Photographer - Only serious photographers will be considered for a photopass, meaning you need a legitimate camera. Send in some samples of your work, and even if you’ve never shot for a show, if we like your photos, I can help you out with whatever you need.
Interviewer - We’ll help you out with questions, but you’d be the one conducting the interview. The interview will be under Make Wave’s name, as in, it may not be used for another website. It will obviously have your name on it, but it will be featured on our website (and eventually in our magazine once we start up with Issuu).
Reviewer - Be it a concert, an album, or anything relevant to music, if we like your writing, you can write whatever you want pertaining to the music industry. We just ask that you send in a sample review on an album (or whatever you think would showcase your talents the best) and we’ll let you know from there!

If you or anyone you know would be interested, please let me know! We’re always looking for new people to help us out. If you aspire to be in the music industry, this is a wonderful opportunity for you to make some connections, build up a portfolio, and just have a great time.

Make Waves update

Tue, 07 May 2013 21:03:23 -0400

Hey everyone!

It’s been a while since we posted on here, but for the time being, this is where all of our interviews and stories will be spotlighted because our website is currently down. We are in the process of trying to fix it, but it is proving to be more difficult than anticipated.
Think of it as being under construction, because we hope to be coming back with something even better.

Our e-mails are still working, so if you need to contact us, you can send us an e-mail or just send an ask through here.

But in other news, we do have a lot coming up.
We are working on moving over to Issuu to publish a legitimate magazine, and I am hoping to change the layout of our site a bit to reflect that.
There are a bunch of shows coming up and some interviews I hope to have set up in the next month or so, so look out for that.

As always, if you would like to shoot a show, write a review, or anything music-related, please let us know and we can try to set something up. We are looking to expand our team and get some new photographers and writers on board from across the country. Living between New York City and Philadelphia almost ensures that most tours come through the area, but that is not always the case. So if you have a show coming to your area that might not be coming here, just shoot us a message and we can all help each other out.

Hopefully we’ll have some more news on the website soon, but for now, we’ll wee you all soon!

Fall Tour “The Rock Show At The End of the World” Tickets On Sale Now

August 28^th, 2012: Baltimore, MD - The 4-piece pop-punk band, All Time Low, have announced their new album “Don’t Panic” out October 9^th, 2012 on Hopeless Records available for pre-order here. Tickets for the upcoming headlining tour “The Rock Show At The End of the World” are available for purchase at www.AllTimeLow.com. Additionally, the band has revealed an album trailer with a sneak peak at a few of the songs off of Don’t Panic that you can watch here:smarturl.it/DPtrailer

“With this record, a big part of the process was finding what made our band special on each of our past records,” says singer/guitarist Alex Gaskarth. “This time around, rather than taking influence from anything we were listening to at the time-or anything we want to touch on generationally-the goal was to make an album that we felt reflected the best aspects of our previous releases.”

All Time Low (consisting of Gaskarth, lead guitarist Jack Barakat, bassist Zack Merrick and drummer Rian Dawson) albums’ first single “For Baltimore” debuted last week on AltPress.com to high praise. The track is an intricate combination of several distinct styles-spinning-top electric riffs, hard-charging chorus breakdowns and a tasteful, acoustic-driven bridge-which you can purchase on itunes here: smarturl.it/FBitunes.”I’ve never really heard a song that Alex has written or we’ve written and not been completely stoked on it,” says Dawson. “But for some reason, these just felt more us. There was less need to force anything, less need to prove anything, less need to chase anything. It was All Time Low writing All Time Low songs.”

The ”The Rock Show At The End of the World” tour features The Summer Set, Downtown Fiction and Hit The Lights. On three select shows, The Early November will be performing instead of The Summer Set**. Tour kickoff starts Friday, October 12^th in New Jersey.

Hey everybody!

So tonight, Syjil and I had the pleasure of seeing the Buried Life promoting their new book, “What Do You Want To Do Before You Die?” at the Rutgers campus in New Brunswick. We’ll have a full story tomorrow, so we’ll keep you posted.

I actually saw the guys last week at Barnes and Noble in NYC, so here’s a few pictures from then. More updates to come tomorrow.

Go Radio announces new tour and album

Thu, 26 Jan 2012 14:56:43 -0500

Tallahassee, FL’s Go Radio are excited to announce their spring U.S. tour. The dates follow up their recent successful run with Yellowcard, kicking off in Indianapolis, IN on March 20th. Support comes from There For Tomorrow, label mates Tonight Alive, Tyler Carver, and Simple As Surgery. Storming into 2012, the band is set to head into the studio this month to record their second album. Following the success of their acclaimed 2011 debut album Lucky Street, the band will be recording their new full-length with James Paul Wisner (Paramore, Dashboard Confessional). The album is set for release in the summer of 2012.

“We’re all excited about this new one! I feel like it’s going to take us to a level we’ve been striving to get to for a long time. It’s definitely going to be different from Lucky Street, but I think the original Go Radio fans will still be able to feel it, and we’ll make new ones from it. I couldn’t be more excited about this year.” - Jason Lancaster, Lead Vocals.

The Floridian four-piece most recently released Lucky Street Deluxe Edition, a special version of Lucky Street, which features the singles “Goodnight Moon” and “Any Other Heart” plus a cover of Adele’s “Rolling In The Deep”. Jason Lancaster appeared on the cover of Alternative Press’ Warped Tour Issue and made his debut in Rolling Stone over the summer. Check out Go Radio’s music video for “Goodnight Moon” here.
