I call voodoo on These United States’ latest video for the band’s infectious single “Everything Touches Everything.” Voodoo and all, you gotta admit that a charismatic scarecrow frontman, together with his skilled corn mates make up for one hell of kick ass band. They get a shit load of crows for groupies too. Life as a rockstar farmer is just awesome! Off the band’s recently released new album Everything Touches Everything out now via United…
A few days ago, Rolling Stone published their review of AIC’s latest record “Black Gives Way to Blue,” awarding it 2.5 stars out of 5, in a one paragraph long piece. Mr. Christian Hoard, did you even listen to the album or did you just stream a few tracks over AOL? Have you ever listened to an AIC album, in the first place? Black Gives Way to Blue is no masterpiece, I’ll grant you that,…
A totally unremarkable video for a totally mediocre song, maybe even subpar. I understand compiling a Greatest Hits record for the cheese and all, but did you guys really had to go round writing crap too? Oh, well, I’m pretty sure I’ll forget it by tomorrow. Good thing Grohl’s back in the kit, where he belongs. Greatest Hits is out November 3rd.
Last week, when I featured one of the leading tracks from Volcano Choir’s debut, “Unmap”, I said: “A product of the joint creative minds of Bon Iver and Collections of Colonies of Bees, the album impresses through it’s deep and sincere music, straight from the heart. Bon Iver, as always, is simply incredible, even though his vocals aren’t featured on most of the album, his presence however, for those of us who’ve had For Emma…

I told you all about Victoria Bergsman’s cover of Animal Collective’s smashing early ’09 hit “My Girls” about a month ago, when I first published a post about the track. Now, it seems Taken by Trees’ “My Boys” also has a video, albeit a very simple one and a bit counter-intuitive in its theme. It features Victoria strolling gently through a field and … tightroaping. I was expecting something more jumpy and thrilling if a…
“Surprise Hotel” is one hell of an infectious track that will get you hooked from the first riff that sets in, keeping you captured from there on thanks to its incredibly diverse arrangements. Diverse could seem an improperly loose term in this case however, since Fool’s Gold has no less than 12 band members in its formation. Now, who here doesn’t love the big sound that comes from a big band? I for one am…
It’s been 30 years since Gang of Four’s iconic debut album, “Entertainment!,” was released and shook Britain with their never before seen blend of dance rock’n’roll music, post-punk and political beliefs. Now, in 2009, the band’s still as relevant as ever, although significantly older (the two remaining original members are, anyway). A small proof that the world hasn’t changed as much as we like to think. Yesterday, the Gang of Four delivered an incredible performance…
We’ve got two awesome videos for the day straight from the ZME inbox, both signed by one of the best projects of the year, Monsters of Folk. The first is the official video for “The Right Place,” filmed pretty old school in black and white, featuring the band members giving it all they have in the studio, quite fitting for the Americana vibe of the song. The second video is that of the band’s yesterday…
Weird, avangarde and adventurous are words that do well in describing the new Portugal. The Man video for the spacey “Do You.” ‘Nuff said! Off the new Portugal. The Man album “The Satanic Satanist” out now on Equal Vision.
