Without a doubt one of the most influential rap groups of all time, N.W.A. are about to follow the Notorious B.I.G. onto the silver screen. Appropriately titled Straight Outta Compton, the film will depict the

controversial ascent into the upper echelons of the music world, as well as their subsequent breakup. The film will be produced by Cube and Dre, along with Eazy-E’s widow Tomica Wright; and t...

Fuzzy mornings and late starts are traditional at SXSW, especially on Saturday, the festival's bleary last hurrah. Less traditional was the 25-degree drop in daytime outdoor temperature that the city of Austin experienced between Friday and Saturday, which chilled us to the bone and made us wish we'd remembered to pack a few extra hoodies into the ShockHound suitcases.

Interview by Dan EpsteinLike so many notable musical siblings before them, the
tension that crackles between Canadian sisters Tegan and Sara Quin is often as
fascinating as the harmonies they create together. They may be identical twins,
but Tegan and Sara are also quite clearly two distinct individuals; they live

LISTEN: The Raveonettes' "Aly Walk With Me" Interview by Tom LanhamThe club’s house manager is apologetic, but still urgent

he blurts, “but there’s a girl waiting outside who swears she has an interview
set up with you. The doors are getting ready to open, so I need to know what to

LISTEN: Chris Walla "Sing Again " Interview by Dan EpsteinChris Walla is a difficult man to reach these days. The
Death Cab for Cutie guitarist has been so thoroughly immersed in the making on
his band’s long-awaited follow-up to 2005’s Plans, it’s literally taken ShockHound a month to get him on the phone. (Of course, there was that one time where we
were too caught up in a round of Rock Band to notice that he was
returning our call. Thanks for being understanding about that on...
