Although the Los Angeles Lakers might have lost in the NBA Finals last month, 311 bassist and longtime Lakers fan Andrew "P-Nut" Wils told Recoil he's still excited for next season, when the Lakers' injured young center Andrew Bynum returns to the lineup alongside Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Derek Fisher and Lamar Odom.
A decade after the band's debut, Finger Eleven has finally reached cloud nine. The Canadian alt-rockers have embodied the term "slow climb" throughout their career, but whenever a band does things their own way, it takes a while for the public to catch up to them. Now with "Paralyzer," the mega-hit off last year's Them Vs. You Vs. Me, they've topped the charts both north and south of their native land's border.
Opting out of going online to find bandmates like so many other modern musicians, vocalist/guitarist Meric Long of The Dodos did things the old-fashioned way. Not that there's anything old-fashioned about his band's form of accelerated folk-rock.
Augie "Gin" Visocchi, vocalist and guitarist for Detroit's The Hard Lessons, doesn't hesitate to quote Bon Scott when talking about his band's history. "It's a long way to the top if you wanna rock 'n' roll," he said in his best AC/DC voice. Visocchi started The Hard Lessons in 2003 while at Michigan State University.

Age doesn't determine how much a band has waited for their moment.
Miles Doughty and his five Slightly Stoopid bandmates carry a heavy burden from show to show and festival to festival. It's a chronic problem, something they've felt the weight of for the better part of the decade.
The Beggars are known as a party band. Technically, that isn't a genre recognized by allmusic.com, music enthusiasts...
Their self-congratulating name to the contrary, the four guys in The Fabulous definitely don't have rock star egos yet, but they're working on it.
The Flowbs are frantic.
