Today some sad news struck most life long Police fans, as the band announced earlier this evening, that they’ll soon hold their final concert, ever. The statement was made with the occasion of a press conference, held in New York, at which the band also participated. There each of the band’s members Sting, Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers were presented with keys to the city by mayor Michael Bloomberg, as the later praised the band…
There is not one single band in this world that sounds even close to Pink Floyd; what they did together was just unbelievable! Now, they’re still continuing their work more or less separate, but the headlight is definitely pointed at David Gilmour. Now, he released Live In Gdansk, an album recorded in front of 50,000 people at the shipyards in Gdansk, Poland. Recorded in Gilmour’s 2006 summer tour, it’s the only gig in which he…
Artist name: R.E.M. Album name: Accelerate Label: Warner Bros Gender: Rock/Alternative Release date: April 1, 2008 ZMErating: 9/10 Website: www.remhq.com I used to love R.E.M.! Despite the fact that I never bought that ‘best band in the whole world’ crap, they were good; they were more than good, they were fantastic! They just brought this positive energy that was just captivating. Then they turned really political and stuff and so the past three albums dispelled…
The Islanders are set to bring their hopelandic avangard rock to a heck load of new people this year, as they’ll embark on a pretty big, summer long, tour.

Dates after the jump.
OK, this is getting pretty preposterous. Just a few months ago, Trent Reznor and his Nine Inch Nails, released their latest studio effort, the 36 track long instrumental album Ghosts. The album was released in numerous formats, mostly digital, of which one was free (7 tracks long) and was more or less well received. Now, it seems the band are back with a new album, just a dozen weeks after NIN released their previous record,…
Out furiously promoting his latest Greatest Hits compilation, the revered Morrissey dropped off on the Late Night Show with Craig Ferguson, both yesterday and the day before that. That’s twice in a row. Talk about a groundhog day. There, he played “All You Need Is Me” and “Irish Blood, English Heart.” ~All You Need Is Me – 28/04/08 ~ Irish Blood, English Heart – 29/04/08
I always loved tops, charts, and anything that included a list and good music. Also, I just blend with the music every time I hear a sweet rock song. So when Close-Up made a list of top 100 albums in metal… no need for more to be added. Close-Up is Sweden’s longest-running music magazine, and to celebrate its 100th issue they released this top 100 albums in metal, hard rock, hardcore, punk and extreme rock…
The famous Pink Floyd pig, which nowadays can only be seen live on Roger Waters gigs, has mysteriously disappeared at Coachella on Sunday (April 27). The giant inflatable pig, part of Pink Floyd’s stage show since their 1977 iconic LP “Animals,” simply broke free from its tethers above the Coachella crowd and drifted off. Organisers are offering a $10,000 reward and four festival tickets for life in exchange for Waters’ signature pig, which was seen…

The band will first play a over month long tour in Europe, with the first show kicking off tonight (April 29th) in Paris, after which they’ll head out to North America, a bit later though. About 5 months late to be more exact,…
