Interviews: Jon Foreman

Writing 24 songs to correspond with the 24 hours of the day is an ambitious plan in anyone's eyes, but combined with fronting the Grammy Award-winning rock band Switchfoot, and starring in a film centring on the touring life of said band, makes it seem like a gargantuan task. The …
Jon Crocker – The Dust Will Settle
Review — January 13, 2008
After his thorough touring of each continental U.S. state (and several abroad) in an apparent effort to sate a sort of Sal Paradisian wanderlust, it is not difficult to begin to mythologize Jon Crocker's career and sonic development.

Jon Spencer – Spencer Sings The Hits!
Review — December 18, 2018
Garage rock is a term that no longer gets a lot of usage - dissipating into the ether after the resurgence and seeming demise of the genre around the mid-00s. The thing is, it never died. We just forgot where to look. And when it comes to unabashed, unapologetic garage …MP3s: Stream Entire Jon Snodgrass Album
