America's Most Patriotically Awful Band Is Back With A New Buttrock Jam
We haven't heard much from Madison Rising since they fart-rocked their way through the "Star Spangled Banner" at a NASCAR race, but "America's most patriotic band" has a new mishmash of hot guitar licks and raspy warbles about guns 'n trucks for us to rock out to....
Kick 'Em All: How <em>The Raid 2</em> Turns Violence Into Art
Violence is such a constant in movies that we rarely appreciate when it's done well.

A Proper Dress Code For Getting Shitfaced At The Ballpark
