The Strokes are Recording

We’ve expressed skepticism in the past concerning the extremely overdo new Strokes album, but it seems we’ve finally gotten solid word from the band itself that things are indeed stirring towards a bright future. If you happen to access the Strokes website at the moment, you’ll be greeted with a neat sign advising visitors that [...]

Sweethead - “Sweethead”

Album name: Sweethead Artist name: Sweethead Genre: Rock Released: November 2 2009 Label: Strange Addiction/Play It Again, Sam ZME Rating: 5/10 Website: sweethead.net I sure hope the record company suit who decided it’d be a good idea to release Sweethead’s debut album in early November is picking bullet fragments out of his own navicular bone right now. Sweethead, if you didn’t [...]

POLARITY #4: “Special Favors come in 31 Flavors”… The ‘Violent Femmes’ Ranked

Are you ready to feel like a piece of shit? Gordon Gano was 19 when the Violent Femmes recorded their self-titled debut album. True story: the trio borrowed $10,000 from bassist Brian Ritchie’s old man and ground out one of the great American rock albums of the 1980’s, and certainly one of the most unmistakable. [...]

Eagles of Death Metal - The Academy, Dublin (26/8/09)

Oh yes it’s ladies night And the feeling’s right Oh yes it’s ladies night Oh what a night - Kool & The Gang Rock n’ roll is a wonderful, chaotic beast. Borne of a decadent tryst between blues and boogie, it’s grown from its simple, Chuck Berry beginnings into a many-tendriled monster, sprouting new bands and sub-genres from every possible [...]

Julian Casablancas Flies Solo

It can be hard to know what to make of the latest solo sideline project from Julian Casablancas of the Strokes. In what must be viewed as a bold move by some, the gravel-throated frontman has opted for a futuristic apocalyptic vision as the platform for his solo adventure.

New The Gossip Video: ‘Heavy Cross’

Beth Ditto really never ceases to amaze me with her apparent ever replenishing energy. Be it in the studio, on the stage or in a music video, she’s literally everywhere. As it’s the case with most of The Gossip’s video productions, there’s not really much to talk about the music video for the band’s latest single [...]

New The Dead Weather video: ‘Treat Me Like Your Mother’

Yeah! Girls, think twice before asking of a man like Jack White to treat you like his mother. First, it’s plain weird, I mean what woman would want to babysit a full, grown-man (don’t answer this. We’re guilty enough as it is). Secondly, because he might bust a cap in your ass, as the new [...]

Download: These United States - ‘I Want You to Keep Everything’

Last year’s “Crimes” by D.C.’s These United States was quite incredible, packing loads of witty garage rock, sprinkled with a touch of sweet folk and gospel. Jesse Elliot’s narrative talents simply shine in his lyrics, such that a remarkable depth in sound is being reached. Yes, I’m in love with These United States’ music, and [...]
