Brian Viglione, Drummer for The Dresden Dolls

I have never felt compelled to give a journalist a hug after an interview, until Gail Worley. Within moments of speaking with her, you sense that Gail is in this for the right reasons. Her passion for music and writing is evident in the way she puts you at ease and draws out the best from you in conversation. I had a hard time shutting up because she got me so psyched! Gail was also responsible for fulfilling my childhood dream of getting in Modern Drummer magazine, writing a great piece. I appreciate that she took the time to help a kid from New Hampshire get out there a little more. Thanks for writing about what you believe in, Gail. Your talent and spirit don't go unappreciated, my friend!

Review of The Panic Channel’s One
by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Love ’em or hate ’em, there’s no denying that Jane’s Addiction was one of the pivotal bands of the alt-rock revolution of the early ’90s. They were one of the first to pull metal and underground rock fans together, first with their 1988 major-label debut, Nothing’s Shocking, and then as the creators and headliners for the first Lollapalooza tour.
