The rumors surrounding Led Zep seem more intense and close than ever. During this weekend, these rumors have been intensified by the fact that they have collaborated with Foo Fighters at Wembley Stadium. What should we understand from this? Well basically what happened is that during an encore requested by fans from the Foos, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones joined the band at the huge venue. I don’t know if anybody expected this (I…
John Lydon, or Johnny Rotten as the Sex Pistols frontman is more commonly known, has always had an authority issue, after all the anarchist within him sparked the iconic punk movement, back in the ’70s. His latest mischief, however, is of a more serious manner. It seems Lydon, as reported by TMZ.com, has been sued for physical aggression, by his former assistant Roxane Davis. The lawsuit, filled at the Los Angeles County Superior Court, claims…
As most of you probably know this already, or not, the new Coldplay album, Viva la Vida and All His Friends, leaked out yesterday over every torrent. However, knowing all our readers are law biding citizens *cough, cough* , we decided it would only be fair to share the full album stream for the album and, of course, it’s all legal! Just head over to IHeartMusic and enjoy the ride; if you’re from outside the…
Shearwater is on our top list of featured artists for this week, after the band has just released its fifth studio release, Rook. For today we’ve got something special for our readers, as Shearwater’s record label Matador were kind enough to release the mp3 format, for what I like to consider Rook’s standout track, “Leviathan, Bound.’ The song is a real chiller, with delicate, robust and melancholic melody and lyrics, that’s sure to sooth even…
I’m a bit late with this, but I’ve just found out that The Raconteurs were featured on Conan O’Brien’s Late Night Show, where they performed two live songs, from their April surprise record Consolers of the Lonely. To be more specific the band unleashed a vole of roots-rock upon National TV first with the infectious rocker “Many Shades of Black,” which was then soon followed by the fiddle-boosted “Old Enough.” All in all the band…
The New York post-punk revivalist trio, Liars, dazzled us with their latest full length, self-titled album, from last year. Now Angus Andrew and co. are back with a new release, this time with a digital EP, in the form of the “Freak Out EP,” available on Mute July 8, 2008. Besides the track titled Freak Out, you won’t find any new songs in the whole tracklist, that numbers six items. The rest are either live…
In case you haven’t already found out about how Slash got snubbed by Dr. Pepper as part of the drink manufacturer’s recent “Chinese Democracy” promotion, I’m gonna give you a little heads up just so you know what I’m talking about. Dr. Pepper has vowed to give everyone in the U.S. a free can of the drink if Guns N’ Roses’ long-awaited new album, “Chinese Democracy”, is released this year. Everyone, that is, apart from…

Credits Is there a bigger musical event this year than the release of the Metallica album? Could be, but I can’t think of any other thing. They’ve got reclaiming, reconquering, and recreating to do – and that’s no easy job, even for them. After the disappointing not-so-impressive St. Anger, true fans are expecting a return to the roots; we’re waiting for the amazing music we know they can do. The amount of attention directed towards…
That’s right boys and girls, the British trio is working on something (we hope will be) just as good, if not better than ‘Black Holes and Revelations’. Back in their study in Italy, drummer Dominic Howard took the time to talk a bit about their work. “About a week ago we just started on some new stuff and actually started playing some new tracks and writing some new songs. So we are just getting the…
