Interview by Meghan Killimade 

Tell us about The Handsome Dudes! How did you all come together, who are the members and what kind of music are you creating/performing?
It started as something to do during Covid.  Bobby (drums) has this fantastic practice space in the Dewart Building, known as The Ravenite, that was basically going to waste, so he, Josh (bass), and Mike (guitar) started playing together, and things just sort of grew from there.  The whole thing was pretty much Bobby's idea.  What we play is mostly hard rock/metal covers, with some Prog thrown in for good measure...though we are chipping away at some originals!

Music Review: Victim Or Victor - Chaotic Flow

Published May 21, 2025
Album review by Marcus Dipollina

Popular music has had many evolutions over the years --from the beginning, popular music has always changed with the times. When talking about rock and roll or “rock music”, these evolutions are usually coupled to a scene or movement. These movements reflect the times that they were spawned in, but also the thoughts and feelings of the people within the movement. Today, the traditional image of a rock band, 4-5 people with guitars and loud amplifiers seems like ancient history. Like the Chevy small block V8 -- but like the small block Chevy, rock and roll has shown that even though its an old dog, it can still learn new tricks. That’s where our story begins... with one of the last big movements for the rock and roll band as we know it to be in our head: EMO.
