The fans say the newspaper has been unfairly attacking emo music which it refers to as a “suicide cult. “The protest is once raising the age-old debate over the impact of art in this case a form of music on life — in this case a form of humans known as teenagers. Last year a teenager in Kent England hanged herself from her bunk bed. Her parents said emo music may have played a big role in her suicide.

Cole: Remnants of derailed bands write new chapter

We definitely like the professionalism of a four-piece band. Five always just seemed clunky awkward and unbalanced. We’ve played with so many nu-metal quintets that I felt embarrassed just having five dudes on stage. You best define yourself by what you are not. A true shoegazer at heart David Davis doesn’t seem to feel comfortable in his own skin. In addition to using a form of automatic writing to craft his lyrics he and the rest of the band prefer a toned-down live show that does not overcompensate with theatrics. While the group has occasionally and perhaps ironically described itself as melodramatic pop this is far from the case… In our previous bands we just made simple ‘water head’ type songs that were good for what they were but what we’ve developed into is much more refined. “Our shows are pretty mellow when compared with our previous endeavors” adds Ross. “We’re not going to beat you over the head with our music.

This two-day celebration of gospel music typically signifies the start of Chicago’s summer music festival season. The 24th edition of the fest will feature more than 90 performances on two stages in gorgeous Millennium Park. Headliners include The Rance Allen Group (today) The Mighty Clouds of Joy (Saturday) and The Clark Sisters (Sunday)… Continuing the streak of mainstream if extremely creative rock acts to play Millennium Park Death Cab for Cutie will play the wonderful Pritzker Pavilion this week. Although Death Cab has reached the pinnacle of success – the new album “Narrow Stairs” debuted at No. 1 – the solid earnest band has never been a fabulously exciting band. That might make Ben Gibbard and company a better fit for the blanket-dwellers at Millennium Park than the hordes at Lollapalooza (for which the band played in years past). The Old 97’s8:30 p.
