ROCK ON THE SIDE
featuring BLAQK AUDIO and THE ALMOST
As long as there have been bands, there’s always been that one dude who wants to do something outside the realm he and his bros created. This month, we hang with AFI’s Jade Puget and Davey Havok long enough to examine the circuit-laden heart behind their Blaqk Audio project, and ask Underoath drummer Aaron Gillespie how long until the Almost are famous. In addition, we compiled a list of side-projects initiated by members of TOOL, COHEED AND CAMBRIA, MxPx, SENSES FAIL, SAY ANYTHING, THE LOCUST and many others to determine what their future holds-as well as the fate of your favorite bands...

SPECIALS
AP’S CLASS REUNION: THE CLASS OF ’97
We head back in time a decade to examine 10 classic albums that shaped the punk of today, including influential discs from Foo Fighters, Blink-182, Deftones, the Get Up Kids and more, and ask some of today’s biggest bands-including the All-American Rejects, New Found Glory, Jack’s Mannequin and Silverstein-to give props to their favorites.

IDOL WORSHIP
While attending Coachella this year, Circa Survive’s ANTHONY GREEN was too scared to introduce himself to PERRY FARRELL of Jane’s Addiction and Satellite Party. This month, we gave him the mano a mano hookup with the alt-rock icon, proving AP doesn’t suck as much as the Circa message board thinks we do...

FEATURES:
AGAINST ME!
Tom Gabel’s anarcho-punk pirate ship now might have a corporate logo on its bow, but the passion and energy he puts into his music is something that simply can’t be bought.

TEGAN AND SARA
If they were roommates they’d kill each other. But as creative foils, the Quin sisters are reaching personal artistic highs together.

JOB FOR A COWBOY
What do you call a band from out of nowhere that’s powerful enough to reanimate death metal’s corpse, but unable to legally buy alcohol? Start with “effin’ amazing” and work your way up.

CARTEL
Atlanta’s pop princes set the scene alight without even playing a note. Actually, it’s where they chose to record those notes that’s got Emo Nation on high terror-alert.
