To celebrate their forthcoming Canada tour, the southern cal’ hard rockers Queens of the Stone Age, are set to release a “Limited Tour Edition” of last year’s ZME top 10 albums Era Vulgaris. The track will feature some awesome live versions of Era Vulgaris songs, as well as some of the band’s pre-Vulgaris songs. There’s one catch to it though: it’s only available in Canada upon its release on April 15. I guess it’s a…
When I heard Porcupine Tree were going to release this mini-album of 4 tracks and 28:44 minutes, I thought it was going to be great. I was right. Since they’ve signed up with Roadrunner Records they’ve made wonders and achieved the success they deserved so much. Roadrunner are notoriously good at getting their acts out there and we’re happy to see such a great colaboration. About ‘Nil Recurring’ there is a lot to be said;…
Although Led Zep’s first impressions on the already famous O2 gig, Robert Plant made an announcement that shocked and saddened rockers from all over the world: Led Zep will not tour! But… things are not nailed! Cause according to bassist Duff McKagan, Velvet Revolver are the number one choice to open for Led Zeppelin, if the band announce a world tour. Wait a sec! They haven’t confirmed anything official! Here’s what the man has to…
For their latest single, the Portland synthpop duo Chromatics, have chosen to make a more darker and creepier video, then those with which they’ve accustomed us with; definitively much more creepier. The video in cause is for the haunting instrumental “Killing Spree,” off of the band’s last year effort “Night Drive”, in which director Johnny Jewel has done a remarkable job at capturing the song’s creepy, haunting vibe on the tube, YouTube actually (bad joke,…
The forthcoming presidential elections have certainly affected us all for a while, even the likes of the Philadelphia based hip-hop group The Roots. Details concerning their upcoming tenth studio album, titled “Rising Down,” have just recently surface, as band member ?uestlove calls the new record “probably our most political album to date, dealing with addiction, nihilism, hypocritical double standards in the prison system, and overall life in Philadelphia.” He soon follows-up saying Rising Down is…
Surprise, surprise. Jack White and The Raconteurs just went all maverick on us and just announced that they’ll release a new album and that no later then next week ! I mean Jack pulled some pretty wacky stunts in the past, the whole Meg White sister-wife thingy being the first to come to mind, but this just might top all of them. The news came out last night, as the band announced their new record…

I’ve written a bit in the past about one of my favorite indie newcomers, the Canadians from Plants and Animals, but what I failed to mention about the band was their dazzling live shows. While I haven’t personally had the chance to see the band in action, even in the various videos on YouTube Plants and Animals truly feel alive. Now fresh after their SXSW live performance, the band is set to part on a…

Well I dunno about you, but I’m eagerly awaiting their new album; it’s among the top 3 in my most expected list this year. But aside from their studio work, they’re doing so much other things that keep them close to the fans and in the spot light.A really uncommon thing they’re doing is the fact that they’re going to attend some college shows; this is really great and I know some people are thrilled….
