K.Flay followed soon after and then Cold War Kids came out and rocked the crowd. They all set the stage for Young the Giant who are one of the most artistic and proficient bands out right now.

Album Review

Today Greg and Jake are joined by DJ Lady Scratch, as she gives us the run down on Tool's 2001 release, Lateralus!

Lateralus proves to be a bit much to handle for our crew. Perhaps it was counting out the Fibonacci Sequence in the title track, or just getting lost in Maynard's dreamy vocals, but it took our host nearly half an hour of recounting the band's history to remember the date of Tool's first release Undertow.

We hope you get lost in this master stroke of dissonance, and ham-fisted alternative thinking. Please enjoy Tool's Lateralus.
