Well I dunno about you, but I’m eagerly awaiting their new album; it’s among the top 3 in my most expected list this year. But aside from their studio work, they’re doing so much other things that keep them close to the fans and in the spot light.A really uncommon thing they’re doing is the fact that they’re going to attend some college shows; this is really great and I know some people are thrilled….
As some of you know, Bryan Adams is set to return with ’11’, an album which consists of 11 songs (go figure). The bad thing is that it didn’t came out in 11 November, but the good thing is that it’s going to be released sooner than 2011. But it was finished since August, so why didn’t we get it? Well frankly, because the record labels are nowhere near dead as some sugges; they are…
Sad day today folks. One of the few decent musical publications left in the US, Harp, just announced that it will be closing its gates. This all come a bit out of the sudden, at a Friday night SXSW party thrown away by triple-A bible Harp. The reasons behind the magazine’s collapse are still unknown, but it appears there are some pretty dirty stuff hovering around it. Anyway it’s better we don’t speak about, looks…
Last year was a fantastic one for, Washington based band, Modest Mouse. They’ve released their fifth studio album “We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank”, the first one with former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr, with tremendous success, landing on top of the Billboard 200 chart and extensively touring the US with mates R.E.M./The National. With all these under their belt I think it’s safe to say the band deserve to have a bit of…
This seems like a great week for indie and punk acts, with new records from the likes of Be Your Own Pet, The Kills, The Matches, The Hush Sound or The A.K.A.s. The most interesting release of this week, however, is the self titled record from recently publicized Yael Naim. She gained a lot of recognition and fame when her lead single New Hope got featured on the new Macbook Air Apple ad. Other notable…
One of last year’s most anticipated hip-hop releases 8 Diagrams from behalf of the legendary Wu-Tang Clan, left a lot of people disappointed, not because it was trash or anything, but because it was down right mediocre and didn’t deliver little to no real beats. This was probably the album’s main setback: beats, a department that clan leader RZA has always mastered well, as it can clearly be seen on “You Can’t Stop Me Now,”…
Although the previous news about Weezer’s sixth album was not true, even the title Tout Ensemble was fake, that doesn’t mean the band won’t ever release the record. Actually frontman Rivers Cuomo just announced that the band has just finished recordings on the album and that it should be out in June. No word however on its title or other particular details, apart from the fact that Rivers described it as “meaty, crunchy and melodic”.What…
Sheryl Crow made an announcement that thrilled music lovers throughout the world: she will join forces with Fleetwood Mac! The legendary rock band hasn’t been on the road for ages and probably this colaboration is going to be just the energy injection they need to get them going. “I don’t want to make any official announcements, but I will say that we definitely have plans for collaborating in the future, and we’ll see what happens,”…
Well we’ve been awaiting for them to make their move for quite a while, but the wait has not been in vain. According to Daily Star, Arctic Monkeys are going to release their third album this year. This would be their third album in just three years, quite a remarkable performance.Alex Turner and co. are believed to be busy recording in their London studio the follow-up to ‘Favourite Worst Nightmare’, which would complete their hattrick….
