Tibi PuiuAttack & Release has been spinning like crazy in my play list for the last couple of weeks and it doesn’t show any sign of slowing down any time soon. A good remark would be that I’ve grown intoxicated with The Black Keys’ music, so consequently I’m gonna try to spread the awesomeness further to you guys. Last night the Akron duo performed live for Conan O’Brien’s Late Night Show, where they played their latest…
New Manu Chao video: ‘Politik Kills’
Released last year, Manu Chao’s “La Radiolina” went on to gain loads of critical acclaim and the title as the new latin rock icon. However, as it’s always the case with awesome art in a radio friendly world, it of course got terribly overlooked and didn’t get the amount of success it deserved. “Politik Kills” his famous single from La Radiolina just got recently pimped with a delayed video, a child soldier named Christian who…

Dave Grohl’s Open Letter To Metallica
Andrei Mihai
What’s this? Dave Grohl just wrote to Metallica? That’s right, former Nirvana drummer and current Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl has released an “open letter” to Metallica. Call me an idiot, but there’s only one reason he’d do this – he’s afraid it’s going to suck. OK, maybe suck is a harsh word… he’s afraid the album they’re going to release will not rise to it’s potential (aren’t we all?). Anyway, great letter, and I…
Artists vs Labels – Raconteurs continue the fight
OK, this is definitely one of the biggest issues of the music industry – it could just be the biggest. With the ever growing influence and power of the internet, it’s only natural that artist would seek a cheaper yet more effective way of promoting himself. Also, the internet has some other advantages, such as the fact that it appeals to a way larger number of people and there are no deadlines, no nothing. After…
New Caribou video: ‘Irene’
Daniel Snaith (read Caribou) return with a fantastic effort last year, when he unveiled his paradisaical Andorra (no, not the financial paradise). “Irene” was one of my favorite tracks from it, so you can imagine the joy when I first set eyes on the video a few hours ago. Speaking of the video, it centeres the song’s vibe and ideas perfectly, featuring calming and serene footages of nature, sleepy animals, lazy insects and still waters…

The band is set to play through the whole summer and much of autumn in the US and Canada, as part of their massive world tour planned that will see Coldplay play in 4 continents…
