Great news gringos, earlier this week sources from within [tag]Radiohead[/tag] itself, have confirmed a number of US tour dates, at the beginning of May. As earlier reported, Radiohead’s North American tour will be performed in two shifts, one before their eagerly awaited European tour and the other after. The tour, part of Live Nation, will promote environmental protection and other eco related activities. The first city to kick off the venture is West Palm Beach,…
A lot of hype’s been revolving around the Athenian trio of late and with good reasons too, after all a new [tag]R.E.M.[/tag] album is always a good motive to celebrate, especially when their previous record was a total slump. Seems like I find reasons to post about R.E.M. week after week (just barely got over my Radiohead thing), this time it’s about their upcoming tour, alongside the fine lads from The National and Modest Mouse….
HIJK is a three piece indie/art rock band, that just recently came under my radar and left a pleasant impression. Following up the release of the The Pen And The Letter, HIJK has completed a self produced music video to compliment its new single “Paper Boat.” In the video HIJK matches its exuberant power rock to the noir-like story of two masked robbers raiding the home of a tech-hungry evil wizard. Towards the climax of…

Yesterday we told you all about a alternate Spanish version of the [tag]White Stripes[/tag] single “Conquest,” that’s soon to be released under the moniker of Las Rayas Blanca and titled “Conquista.” The single is out on February 19, but the video’s already been released, with no visual changes to the original, just Jack’s alternate Spanish ego. The whole thing sounds like a Spanish dubbed B-movie, with Jack’s vocals and accent sounding awful, as many native…
Remember the last “Conquest” single from the [tag]White Stripes[/tag]?Yeah the one in which bull fighter Jack gets his ass kicked. Great video, laughs and rockin,’ but now the duo wants to take the hispanic of the single even further, by releasing a alternate version sung in Spanish, suggestively titled “Conquista,”with a whole new video to go with it. Splendid idea mates! The single, in both CD and vinyl form, hits the States February 19 from…
Ludo is a power-pop rock quintet, hailing from St. Louis, that have recently caught a lot of people’s attention through their cunning humor, great live shows and not ultimately good rock music. They sound like … well their sound doesn’t quite fit a fix genre, being somewhat unique, although being at the same time vaguely familiar. They much resemble [tag]Weezer[/tag], mostly thanks to frontman Andrew Volpe’s Rivers like persona, but with a more glam-like attitude….
The 14th record, from the Athenian trio of [tag]R.E.M.[/tag], is closing in fast and after we’ve posted Accelerate’s tracklist, it’s now time for a first glimpse on how the album sounds, by sampling its first single “Supernatural Superserious.” How’s it like? Well let me start by saying it’s a heck of improvement, compared to their previous slump of a record, quite catchy actually towards excellent. Glad the boys found their whits and guitars again. You…
