Tibi PuiuJust a month after we unveiled the French duo’s video for Phantom Pt. I”, another version of the video has popped out, this time directed by Daniel Bloomberg. The video is a bit weird to say the least featuring a lot of sugary spice girls hanging around a cafeteria, quietly enjoying their meal, until a shadowy demonic presence made its appearance. In the end it all turns out just to be a directed food fight….
Queen + Paul Rodgers: New Album Details
Andrei Mihai
When I read about this, two ideas slammed into the walls of my brain: “great” and “blasphemy”. I mean, Queen without Freddie is like a party without booze, yet who wouldn’t go to such a gig, even just to hear Brian May do his thing? Now don’t get me wrong, I have absolutely nothing against Paul Rodgers… he’s great! But filling the shoes of a man who undoubtely was among the best frontmen in the…
The Verve is back

They haven’t started a tour in more than 10 years, but they already announced thier North American tour will start at The Warfield in San Francisco, CA on April 23rd, warming up for its performance at the Coachella Valley Music…
The emo-witch hunt in Mexico: emo kids get bashed across the country!
In the last few days a wave of violence has swept the Mexican state, aimed at a subculture of Mexican youth going by the label of emo. This all started about two weeks ago in, the otherwise quiet, colonial capital of Queretaro, when mobs of people attacked groups of emos, in an attempt to force them out of the city’s main plaza. The movement soon spread to the nation’s capital of Mexico City, when emos…
New Gutter Twins video: ‘All Misery/Flowers’
Greg Dulli and Mark Lanegan’s latest joint effort The Gutter Twins proved to be quite successful; with two grunge stars what could go wrong the first place anyway? Saturnalia, the duo’s debut LP got a lot of attention and positive critical feedback, receiving a lot of praise for their grungy, shit kicking tracks, like the first single Idle Hands. However, TGT’s latest single “All Misery/Flowers,” strays away from their usual hard rocking pattern towards more…
Beck, Wilco, Devendra Banhart expand the Outside Lands lineup
Last month we were thrilled to announce a three band long lineup of the new west coast San Francisco Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival. The band announced were Radiohead, Tom Petty, and Jack Johnson. Solid headliners indeed, but not quite enough for a three day long festival. Thus Beck, Wilco, Widespread Panic and Devendra Banhart lead the new additions to the lineup, as the San Fracisco guest lists gets expanded with over 20 acts,…
QOTSA to release live tour CD with bonus cover tracks + new tour dates
To celebrate their forthcoming Canada tour, the southern cal’ hard rockers Queens of the Stone Age, are set to release a “Limited Tour Edition” of last year’s ZME top 10 albums Era Vulgaris. The track will feature some awesome live versions of Era Vulgaris songs, as well as some of the band’s pre-Vulgaris songs. There’s one catch to it though: it’s only available in Canada upon its release on April 15. I guess it’s a…
Foo Fighters ‘nicest band ever’
Well this most definetly isn’t a title your average rock band will fight for and I’m not sure it’s something you should take pride in. You don’t wanna fall into the trap of becoming all mushy and stuff. So how come they beat Coldplay to get this title? To get the answet to that, you should just listen to the countless music scribes who can’t get through a profile piece on the act without mentioning…
Porcupine Tree launch Nil Recurring
When I heard Porcupine Tree were going to release this mini-album of 4 tracks and 28:44 minutes, I thought it was going to be great. I was right. Since they’ve signed up with Roadrunner Records they’ve made wonders and achieved the success they deserved so much. Roadrunner are notoriously good at getting their acts out there and we’re happy to see such a great colaboration. About ‘Nil Recurring’ there is a lot to be said;…
