Album Review: Checking Out Seether’s Holding Onto Strings Better Left to Fray
The album kicks off with one of my favorites, “Fur Cue“, this song sets a great tone for the album with its thick, heavy riffs and prominent bass lines. Shaun Morgan’s great blend of clean and guttural vocals really shine through on this album. This blend of agonizing screams and crisp vocals has always made Shaun one of my favorite vocalists on the rock scene today. “Country Song, the radio jingle many of you probably know by now, is a very fun track and seems like a sequel to “Fake It“.
There are a couple short comings on the album. Songs such as “Here and Now” and “No Resolution” just seem to get boring and really just have a basic filler track feel to them. “Desire For Need” is my personal favorite on the album. Its classic, heavy, and seethed with some vicious lyrics. I had that one on repeat for a while.
The Final Word: This is a solid album that I would definitely recommend picking up. It isn’t their best work, but in twelve years of rock, Seether has yet to disappoint me. Pick this one up people.
The Lost Boys: A New Musical officially kicked off on Broadway last month, and Deadline now reports that the show’s Broadway run has been extended into next year.
The show was originally set to run through November, but Deadline reports that The Lost Boys: A New Musical “has released a block of tickets through Sunday, March 7, 2027.”
The news comes in the wake of The Lost Boys: A New Musical becoming the most Tony-nominated musical of the season with twelve nominations including Best Musical.
Additionally, “The Lost Boys will launch a North American National Tour in Spring 2028, at Playhouse Square in Cleveland. Additional cities and tour dates will be announced later.”
The Lost Boys: A New Musical is of course an adaptation of the 1987 horror classic from director Joel Schumacher, with the cast including Ali Louis Bourzgui as lead vampire David (originally played by Kiefer Sutherland), Maria Wirries as Star (originally played by Jami Gertz), and LJ Benet as the soon-to-be-turned Michael (originally played by Jason Patric).
The horror musical’s cast also includes Shoshana Bean as Lucy Emerson, Benjamin Pajak as Sam Emerson, Paul Alexander Nolan as Max, Jennifer Duka as Alan Frog, Miguel Gil as Edgar Frog, Brian Flores as Marko, Sean Grandillo as Dwayne, and Dean Maupin as Paul.
The Lost Boys: A New Musical is Directed by Michael Arden, featuring Music and Lyrics by The Rescues, Book by David Hornsby & Chris Hoch, Story by James Jeremias & Janice Fischer, and Produced by James Carpinello, Marcus Chait & Patrick Wilson (The Conjuring) by special arrangement with Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures.
When a mother and her two teenage sons move to Santa Carla in desperate need of a fresh start, they soon uncover the darker side of this sunny coastal community. While Lucy tries to piece her family’s life back together, Michael keeps pulling away in search of belonging.
As he finds connection with a local rock band and its charismatic leader, his younger brother Sam comes face-to-face with a terrifying reality: When night falls, Michael’s new friends are even more dangerous than they first appeared.
Joel Schumacher directed the original The Lost Boys vampire movie in 1987, wherein two brothers move to a new town and discover that the area is a haven for vampires.
