The Clash of the Titans 1991 tour was one of the most epic and spectacular series of metal gigs to ever have graced the planet, basically making various venues in the US and Europe the very center of the scene for a day. Now, Megadeth and Slayer are set to embark on a tour of [...]
People are stupid. Unendingly, gruesomely stupid, like a lobotomised, shaved badger - every last one of us a fetid, gormless lump of uselessness.
I apologise for the crass generalisation there, but really, it needed to be said. And really, I should have said it in big bold letters: a collection of blithe, oblivious pixels, squatted thoughtlessly [...]
Ah, finally! I’ve been nervously waiting for a follow-up to Made In The Dark, which is quite the pop gem, for ages now, and I can only rejoice at the news that Hot Chip’s new album, titled “One Life Stand“, will get released at the beginning of 2010. Here’s what I’ve read about the record [...]
With such artists under their roster, like The National, Deerhunter, TV on the Radio, Bon Iver or St. Vincent just to name a few, it would have been only foolish for the British indie label 4AD not to make their own in-house show. Following the success of the amazing Deerhunter set at the 4AD studios [...]

There are 10 other tracks on Jimmy Eat World’s fourth effort besides “The Middle” but you’d be hard-pressed to find [...]
So, apparently, the 16th MTV European Music Awards “went down” on Thursday. Did you notice? I didn’t - I was preoccupied with more relevant, pressing matters, like noticing that ooh, it’s getting quite cold this time of year, and hey, I need a shave. Of course, the fact that these two realisations came in quick [...]
Hooray! I love when I get to talk about Irish indie heroes Ham Sandwich, as I’ve done before here, wherein I recount how their gig both melted my face, and rescultped it in a new, smiling, more handsome fashion. But now? Now I bring news of their new single, Out of the Darkness, which is [...]
Sufjan Stevens once had a plan so ambitious, so preposterous, that it seemed like one of those ‘just crazy enough to work’ things - write a concept album about each of the 50 states. He started off with the midwest when he released the lush “Michigan” in 2003, before carrying on with the magnificent 2005 [...]
Recently, the experimental three piece band Liars have posted a cryptic post on their MySpace blog, containing a new art work (posted above) and few links directing fans to thesisterworld.com.
