With PJ Harvey taking various detours away from her intelli-punk rock of old, Brody Dalle’s Spinerette sounding less like the Distillers than a slightly more modern No Doubt, and Courtney Love continuing to disappear into a putrid puddle of [...]
So we get to see yet another Jack White incarnation take to the stage this month. His Garage-blues supergroup, The Dead Weather, is booked to play New York’s Bowery Ballroom on April 14th.
They were officially announced as an outfit less than a month ago, when White moved his Third Man vinyl record label to his [...]
Just one week after we posted the latest Yeah Yeah Yeahs single, titled “Zero,” in MP3 format, it now seems we’re yet again treated with another MP3, this time for the ecstatic “Heads Will Roll.” Sound-wise, nothing much to difference it from Zero. Same double layered synths, Karen O highly commanding vocals and vintage garage [...]
Garage rock saviours Yeah Yeah Yeahs are back in full swing, everybody! Yesterday the band gave a first tase of the new material they’ve been prepping as the YYYs third full length studio release, “It’s Blitz!,” when they put out the first single “Zero” as a live stream on myspace.
The single got, evidently, immediately ripped [...]
Most rock n’ roll tour documentaries are fairly painful to endure, if we’re to be honest with ourselves, full of self-important man-children who think their philosophies on life, music and the laydeez are compelling viewing, and oh-so-artistic shots of the artists coming off stage (invariably with a towel wrapped around their head or neck) and [...]
Your favorite indie party animals/swamp rats, the Atlantian quartet Black Lips, are prepping the release of their upcoming latest LP, “200 Million Thousand.” The band’s last studio effort, Good Bad Not Evil, was packed with loads of Southern canon run fun, and, from the looks of it, 200 doesn’t sound any lower, quality and fun-wise.
The [...]
Dayton, Ohio locals, The Heartless Bastards, form a garage rock band that impresses through it’s smooth combination of blues and retro ’70s rock, much like their fellow Ohians and label mates, The Black Keys. To be frank the band feels more like a solo project, as Erika Wennerstrom’s dominance can be felt through out their [...]
No, Jay Reatard is far from being a retard. He’s quite brilliant actually, as far as Memphis garage-punk goes.
The video bellow is for “See/Saw,” the first A-Side in the Matador Singles ‘08 series, and, as incredible as it might sound, this is really Jay’s first ever music video. We trust Matador Records enough to take [...]
First I was stocked by the new EODM album art, then I got really jumpy when the official video for the first single Wannabe in LA come up, but I finally got my copy of Heart On the day before yesterday I was really close to climax. I won’t go ahead with the actual spinning [...]
The Pretenders are back with a new album this week, in the form of “Break up the Concrete,” a fun, classic Pretenders record, that’s sure to delight any nostalgic punk (don’t give me any of that ‘punk’s not dead’ crap). Chrissie Hynde, which looks fantastic by the way (considering she’s in her late 50s!), and [...]
