Subterranean Street Society channel raw tension and uncomfortable questions into Thomas Matthew Crooks, a gripping folk-grunge slow burner that thrives on repetition, atmosphere, and emotional unease. Built around a deep, swampy groove, the track gradually intensifies as blues-soaked instrumentation and provocative lyricism pull listeners into increasingly darker territory. Rather than offering easy answers, the song explores themes of violence, alienation, and personal responsibility through a deliberately ambiguous lens, allowing its meaning to remain open to interpretation. Bold, unsettling, and impossible to ignore, Thomas Matthew Crooks showcases Subterranean Street Society’s ability to fuse poetic storytelling with explosive musical power.

When Voivod started in the early ’80s and released the album “War and Pain” in 1984, who would have thought that these metal punks would play a live show with a symphonic orchestra and release a live album of the event? People would have thought you were crazy. But the beauty of life is that… Continue Reading →

Red, celebrating the 20th anniversary of End of Silence, stopped into the Bourbon Theatre in Lincoln Nebraska on June 2nd, 2026. The Bourbon Theatre had a modest crowd to start the night, even for a Tuesday. Local Nebraska post-metalcore band Endless kicked things off and worked with what they had. Regardless of the turnout at that point, they gave it their all and sounded great.

Pennsylvania-based Twist It took the stage as the first touring act of the night. Fairly new to the scene, the trio made a strong impression. Frontwoman Kayla Hallman commanded the stage with powerful vocals, working the crowd to get them pumped up. Hallman and guitarist Logan Smith paced the stage while Sara Higgins rounded out the group on drums. Twist It kept it tight with a five-song set, and it was good to hear “Undertow” and “Honest,” both currently getting radio play.

San Antonio-based rockers Kingdom Collapse followed with a solid eight-song set. The set included older hits “Uprise,” “Save Me From Myself,” “Never Be Like You,” and “Unbreakable,” along with a cover of Natasha Bedingfield’s “Unwritten.” They also debuted their newest release “Survivor,” a track partly written about frontman Johnathan Norris‘s experience of witnessing his father pass away when he was just eight years old. Kingdom Collapse delivered the high-energy show their fans have come to expect.

Ra took the stage stripped down, just vocalist Sahaj Ticotin and drummer Isaiah Perez. Nothing fancy. Raw and powerful. The set included “Fallen Angels” and their Police cover “Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic,” both from their 2005 album Duality, before closing with their biggest hit “Do You Call My Name.”

By the time Red took the stage, the Bourbon Theatre had filled in nicely. There was real anticipation in the room. Michael Barnes‘s recent departure left plenty of questions about how the band would sound, but fill-in vocalist AJ Reingardt put everyone at ease the moment he opened the set with “Wasting Time.” A few songs in, the band paused to call out a guy in the crowd wearing a shirt that read “Guess What? Chicken Butt,” noting it was perfect for a rock show. Bassist Randy Armstrong talked about coming to Nebraska for 20 years and laughed about being the old guys. Armstrong also drew attention to the drum kit on stage, noting it was something special. The kit belonged to their late drummer Hayden Lamb, who passed away on October 27, 2024, at age 39. Lamb had played on End of Silence and the kit had been pulled from storage for the tour. It was clear the band deeply missed him.

Red played deep into the End of Silence catalog, but the set wasn’t limited to it. Songs from Innocence & Instinct and Until We Have Faces filled out the night, including “Shadows,” co-written by Breaking Benjamin’s Ben Burnley, and fan favorites “Fight Inside” and “Feed the Machine.”

Twenty years old, End of Silence holds up. Red made sure of that.
