They’re dirty, they’re mean and they’re mighty unclean, but do these hardcore rockers belong on iTunes? Apparently not. In 2008, growling frontman Brian Johnson was quoted as calling the mega music dealer a “monster” and the band has shown little sign of changing ground. Preferring to present their masterpiece albums in their entirety instead of in the bits and pieces most fans would personally select, AC/DC has staunchly denied any requests to sell their tracks online, often saying that Apple was simply “loving for the money.”

Ah, the Video Music Awards. Unveiled in 1984, the annual MTV awards ceremony has come to be known as the sexed-up, crazy cousin of the less-edgy Grammys.

As chillwave was making its way into the fore of the indie music scene in 2009 and early 2010, it was met with a degree of controversy and skepticism. As the genre began in earnest with debut releases by Neon Indian and Toro y Moi and a pair of EPs by Washed Out, fans praised its ’80s nostalgia and laid-back, hazy sound tailor-made for summer.

A decade (under the influence?) after they first came together to release Taking Back Sunday’s 2002 debut “Tell All Your Friends,” Eddie Reyes, Mark O’Connell, John Nolan, Adam Lazzara and Shaun Cooper have joined up again on the band’s newest self-titled album. The band’s storied and slightly convoluted past has finally culminated in a reunion fans have been hoping for since Nolan and Cooper left the band in 2003.
