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. [...]

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 [...]

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. Recorded in New York, Nebraska and [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
