Henry Rollins, Alice Cooper, Iggy Pop and Moby to start in ‘SUCK’

Here’s something you don’t see everyday. Rob Stefaniuk, a dime a dozen producer, is set to write and direct a movie called - get ready for this - ‘SUCK,’ which will, apparently, star Alice Cooper, Moby, Iggy Pop and Henry Rollins, alongside Malcom McDowell (Heroes, Halloween) and Jessica Pare. The movie’s plot is fairly simple: a [...]

Download: Jens Lekman - ‘Water Runs Dry’ (Boyz II Men)

It’s just times like these that make me wish I was living in NY City. Yesterday, Jens Lekman, together with his fellow countryman, Frida Hyvonen, played an awesome set of songs down at Googie’s Lounge. Frida Hyvonen, a somewhat obscure name, even for Brooklyn’s underground indie scene, dazzled the over-crowded audience, most probably packed together to [...]

Rivers Cuomo’s ‘brain is working overtime’

At the beginning of the month, we announced that Rivers will be releasing a new follow-up to last year’s bootleg Alone, in the form of the upcoming November 25th release of lost, stuffed away Cuomo goodies, titled Alone II. You saw the funky yearbook haircut and had a first sample of Alone II, when we streamed [...]

Wednesday Smile Jerker: The Most Badass Multy-instrumentalist

Prepare to be baffled by this guy’s awesomeness! The dude, from the video featured bellow, can be seen as he plays “The Final Countdown” on three instruments, including a keyboard/mandolin/trumpet bastard instrument, apparently called KazooKeylele. Whatever. [video from Metal Injection]

The Strokes to return next summer with a new album

The garage rock revivalists have been on hiatus for quite a while now, but, apparently, the band’s going to get together soon and try some new things out, at least that’s what The Strokes drummer Fabrizio Moretti recently stated. According to Fabrizio, the band will reform and hit the studio to start working on a [...]

Download: The Killers - ‘A Creeppling Blow’

The Killers‘ new album “Day & Age” is still a bit distant, concerning its release date, with another 2 weeks left before it finally gets out. Despite this, most of it’s tracks, including the lead single Human, got leaked all over the internet for quite a while. Speeking of Human, the single’s B-side is called [...]

Bands to Watch: Robin Tymm

There are billions of unsigned and indie artists to be found online. Some are worth a listen, others are interesting but not quite there, but the vast majority is trying too hard to find the elusive new sound and thus burying themselves into experimental oblivion. Songwriters are always a penny a dozen, even cheaper than [...]

Nirvana baby resurfaces as a teenager

When asked about their favorite Nirvana record, almost everybody, including yours trully, will fermly reply “Nevermind.” Smells Like Teen Spirit, Lithium, Come As You Are etc. One of the most influencial album of the last 20 years, nonetheless. Besides it’s music, Nevermind is also famous for the notorious baby in a swimming pool, chasing a one [...]

Dave Grohl lays down drums for new The Prodigy album

Since The Foos are currently on a undetermined hiatus, Dave Grohl must be getting bored and all that. It’s hard for a musician to entrap creativity inside him, and seeing how Dave’s one of the finest artists in the contemporary rock scene, it’s understandable why we can’t just hang it up for too long. Apparently, he [...]

Download: Jay-Z - ‘Remember’

Call it foresight, high statistical measurement or simply woman’s intuition, but it seems Jay-Z put his bets right, as far as the recent US elections are concerned. Right after the 5th of November and the consequent Obama presidential victory, there were hundreds of bands flooding the Internet with various victory songs - Jay didn’t go any [...]
