Don’t threat people, there’s nothing really going on with the all-ladies Brooklyn trio, apart from releasing a new, juicy album that is. Last year’s incredible, albeit very short self-titled gained the Vivian Girls a lot of praise, especially from behalf of music blogs like the one you’re reading now, but also attracted some criticism because [...]

Provocative artwork? Surely not. That’s not blood on the cover of the new Manic Street Preachers album, just a boy with one side of his face more red than the other. Or to put it in more artistic terms a la frontman James Dean Bradfield, “a much more modern version of Lucian Freud-esque brushstrokes”. But either [...]

Is Bob Dylan the man or what? As if it wasn’t enough he’s the crowing figure of the entire beat generation, he’s now defying both time and, well, mediocre mortal conceptions, by releasing a new LP, his 46th album to be more exact, very soon. As previously reporated, Bob Dylan’s new album, now dubbed “Together [...]

The follow-up to Grizzly Bear’s breakthrough album has been in high anticipation by the whole indie scene for some time now, and, while these little teasers are all fun and all, the May release date is just killing us! The most recent of these teasers, after the initial unveiling of the album name from last [...]

Mastodon’s new album, “Crack The Skye“, is just a few couple of week away, but, even so, anticipation grows ever unbearable, especially with the annoyingly awesome teasers the band’s promo company do. Above is pictured the official art work for Crack The Skye, definitely too abstract and packed with symbolism for all of us to [...]

2009 will definitely be an interesting year for music - a lot more inspiring and pleasant than 2008, that’s for sure. The latest issue of Billboard tries to do a rundown of this year’s upcoming releases, although mainly mainstream-only acts, mentioning artists like Kelly Clarkson, 50 Cent, Eminem, Franz Ferdinand, U2 and a few more. [...]

Yup, that’s the new cover art for U2’s upcoming twelfth studio effort, “No Line on the Horizon,” and while many hail it as one of the worse album art of the decade, we kinda find it okay, in a zen sorta way. The gray ocean horizon thingy was shot by Hiroshi Sugimoto, a Japanese [...]

Awesome as it may be, I can’t help stareing and wondering what each element in Royksopp’s new cover art, for the duo’s upcoming album “Junior“, represents. Trippy eyes + lashes, melted plastic, grinded asphalt, a ’50s telephone call by a isteric, but beautiful lady (Yeah, you can tell a lot about a women by looking [...]

Last year’s “Alone,” by Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo, was pretty awesome, of course, in a geekish, fun way. You know, it’s Weezer, more or less. Anyway, I was pretty much exited when I heard I will get the chance to hear some new, unreleased materials from Rivers this year, as he’ll be releasing a new [...]

I didn’t want to believe it when I first heard “Chinese Democracy” was gonna finally go live sometime this year, but it seems more and more veridic that the fact is, indeed, happening! The 14 years album in the making by what’s left of the Guns N’ Roses, just a shadow of its former, glorious [...]
