Download: Arctic Monkeys - ‘The Afternoon’s Hat’

“My Propeller“, the 3rd single off Arctic Monkeys‘ latest album, the 2009 released “Humbug“, will get released next Tuesday. Until then though, I came across the B-side for the single, a brand new AM song titled “The Afternoon’s Hat“. I really like the somewhat nouvelle direction the band have taken with their new album, embracing [...]

Spells in Dublin, London, Canada and France have no doubt shaped his broad musical talents and acute observational lyrics, and with “Busy Whisper”, he [...]

The Dead Milkmen Live at the Trocadero, Philly (Halloween, 2009)

The Dead Milkmen, a Philadelphia quartet known for their quirky underground hit singles such as “Punk Rock Girl,” “Dean’s Dream,” and “Stuart,” spent years making an art form out of not taking things too seriously during their late 80’s heyday. Twenty years later, the world hasn’t forgotten them. There could have been little more proof [...]

The latest and worst Foo Fighters song to date

Don’t get me wrong here, I love the Foo Fighters, I really do. “The Colour and the Shape” is one of my all time favorite albums, and I’m a huge fan of Grohl’s work, be it in the kit with Nirvana, QOTSA and Them Crooked Vultures or playing frontman in the FF, but recently it’s [...]

A long and arduous wait for the new Strokes album

Between so many solo projects by each of The Strokes‘ band members, it seems like their new album is the one left to suffer the most. There’s been so much talk and speculating around it, that I, for one, don’t even know what to say, or write for that matter, anymore. It’s almost the beginning [...]

Download: Thao with the Get Down Stay Down - ‘Know Better Learn Faster’

It’s only been until this summer that I finally got acquainted with Thao and the Get Down Stay Down’s incredible alt rock, when, completely by chance, I stumbled across their myspace. Boy, was I missing out! There’s something really special about the band, it’s almost like they have this sort of aura around them, something [...]

New These United States video: Everything Touches Everything

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 [...]
