Another episode of Noisecreep's ''Creep Show' podcast is in the bag, and we can't wait for you guys to see it. The guys from Anvil stopped by to discuss their album, the movie that helped make them a household name, and what its been like being in one of the most underappreciated metal bands ever...

Three-day weekends? Awesome. Fall coming in early September? Not so awesome. The fact that people are already wearing sweatshirts here in Manhattan is ridiculous. The summer of 2009 came in late July, then left in early September, and we're not happy about this...

Anaheim, Calif. is essentially Disneyville! The charming city, home to the Angels baseball team as well as the Magic Kingdom that is Disneyland, is a tourist haven. Right in the center of the family-friendly, Downtown Disney shopping area, which is essentially an outdoor mall, is the Anaheim House of Blues, which hosts many a metal show...

Two weeks ago, when we were at the New Jersey stop of the Rockstar Mayhem Fest, we bought a Snapple. It came in a plastic bottle, but the woman we handed our $7 to for the drink ended up opening it, and poured the iced tea into a plastic cup...

Barbecue? Check. Meats? Check. Booze? Check. Fireworks we scored over the weekend in New Jersey, because they're illegal in New York? Check. Sounds like we're ready for the Fourth of July weekend. Are you? The gang here at Noisecreep loves July Fourth, so much so that it's our favorite holiday, because, let's face it, Independence Day is rather metal...

Poor Farrah Fawcett. The world was just starting to mourn her death when someone even more iconic kicked the bucket. Unless you live under a rock, you know by now that Michael Jackson died yesterday at the age of 50, from sudden cardiac arrest (we're hoping he left us the Elephant man's bones in his will)...

OFF THE ROAD AND ON THE CONSOLE: Drawing near to the annual Warped Tour which hits nationwide starting June 26, you can get your fix for all things Warped Tour on your video game console.
