eight years ago, Ultraviolet Hippopotamus has energized the national and
international Jam community with a diverse stylistic range and a
raucous and freewheeling approach to its live presentation.

You don’t often hear the terms “Crunk” and “Christian” in
the same paragraph let alone the same band description, but Family Force
5 has accomplished the rare feat of combining Rap, Punk, Hardcore,
Funk, Metal and Dance beats with a Christian perspective.

Music Tonight: The Brothers Devine and Silversun Pickups
Tonight in Northside, Mayday presents its monthly new local band showcase, "Unsung." This month's newcomers aren't entirely "new," but they are new to Cincinnati. The Brothers Devine, a quirky and eclectic AltRock two-piece (guitar/drums) featuring bros Andris and Erik Devine, recently moved to town from Milwaukee. The duo takes avowed influences like Green Day, System of a Down, Bad Religion, and the Goo Goo Dolls and concocts a wild-eyed blend of Punk, Indie Pop, Metal, Folk and whatever the hell else they feel like exploring at the time. Tonight's Unsung show is free and kicks off at 9 p.m. Here's a playlist of the Devine's music to get your ready. Click here for more on the group.• Fuzzy, Pumpkins-esque AltRock crew Silversun Pickups pulls into Corryville tonight for a show at Bogart's. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. Tickets for the all-ages show are $30 at the door.Click here to read a show preview from this week's CityBeat, then check out the band performing on WNYC's Soundcheck.

If Ben Chasny had his way, he wouldn't be trapped here on
Earth but rather levitating somewhere far above it. Over the 14-year
span of releases from Six Organs of Admittance, Chasny's pet project
fleshed out by a rotating cast of players, he's made his love for the
heavens perfectly clear.

and then spend the fall and winter making a new album. Bands like Silversun Pickups, for example.

Few duos make the visceral impact or cover the incredible range
of Cleveland’s Mr. Gnome, comprised of impish guitarist/vocalist Nicole
Barille and hammer-and-tong drummer/keyboardist Sam Meister.

There is something to be said for a Metal band that
can incorporate its religious beliefs into the music without coming off
as cliché or pompous. San Diego Metalcore
outfit As I Lay Dying has been one of those bands.
