Origivation sits down with Battles to discuss the dangers of labeling, Hideki Matsui, friends and enemies and exactly how to approach Bjork. The Oi! Fest comes to Allentown and is well documented by our own Stephanie Weaver who gives us all a lesson in what it's like to be punk rock in 2008. And speaking of punk—and the philosophy and origins therein—Mission of Burma chats with the big O before their show on the 27th. Dominic Nicosia is once transformed by the miracle of Swervedriver in New York and Kevin Walker drops by Cambridge Sound Studios to give budding musicians a taste of what they can get if they sign on to do a few sessions. In a local spotlight with North Jersey’s Sunburst Carrier, we are reminded of just how hard it is to find that magic collaborative spark that makes for a tasty musical recipe. The July issue is packed with all these features and so much more. It's a veritable goodie bag of rock and roll fun. All you have to do is stick your hand in there and pick something good. Enjoy this month's little foray into musical analysis. See you in thirty days.
