In this week's print edition New Times writer Chris Hansen Orf -- himself a member of a veteran Tempe Americana act -- catches up with hard-nosed roots rockers Flathead. The band talks about how they've been able to fit on bills with everyone from Meat Puppets to Ralph Stanley, X and The Cramps.
Mike Escoto talked with local boy Chester Bennington, lead singer of Linkin Park, about his band's new record, which should challenge the longtime fans.

We've also got short previews on Young The Giant, MartyParty, Canibus, Rocky Votolato, Telekinesis, and Streetlight Manifesto.
