Hey, guys! We’ve had some great new stuff coming up these past few weeks.

This week, however, things are really beginning to pick up, as a swarm of high rated musicians are back/debuting with exiting new music. The Kings of Leon have always been dear to my heart ever…

In a recent intereview, frontman Jeff Tweedy said this time around the band will take their time and will try to put out something really well produced and “allow…
The latest scandal in the rock scene erupted a few days ago, after it was shamefully discovered that the latest Metallica record, Death Magnetic, released just this Friday, sounds a lot, lot better on Guitar Hero 3, then on the actual CD. That’s what mastering engineer Ian Shepherd discovered when, on a tip from a Metallica forum, he compared the compression rates between the CD and the GH versions. What’s even sadder is that the…

This week’s a bit poor, in term of releases, but some worthy mentions are certainly present. Lindsey Buckingham, who some of you old timers may recognize him as the Fleetwood Mac guitarist and occasional vocalist, is releasing his latest solo effort today, called “Gift of Screws.” His previous solo stuff, “Out of the Cradle” and “Under the Skin” were really good, and from what I’ve read Gift of Screws isn’t any lower, quality wise. The…

During Oasis’ set on last night’s Toronto Virgin Festival, right in the middle of “Morning Glory,” a dude from the crowd came from out of the nowhere and put a good shuv on Noel Gallagher, causing him to fell off the stage. The band took some good 10 minutes to recover and then returned to complete their set. In…
