Chris Shiflett, the Foo Fighter-who-isn’t-Dave-Grohl (no, not Taylor Hawkins. And no, not the goofy-looking guy what used to play extra guitar for Nirvana – Dirk Gently, or whatever his name was. Because Nirvana songs totally needed two guitars. Not him. The other one. Anyway) recently released his first album with his new side-band, The Dead Peasants. Which is an awful, awful band name, I know, but let’s not let that derail the very point of…
Last year I was introduced to Clubfeet, a very promising three-piece electro band from Australia which marvelously fused ’80s disco pop with modern day synth pop. Today, I learned that Clubfeet is releasing their debut full length “Gold on Gold”. Upon further digging, I found “Count Your Lovers”, a sweet and soothing french disco song, beautifully arranged in hypnotic keys and uplifting synth lines.
I know I’m a bit late on the bandwagon with this one, but better late than never. I’ve been meaning to post Cut Copy’s latest new song off the Aussies’ upcoming new album for a week now, since it got released as a free digital download at the band’s website, alas forgetfulness bested me. For those of you who’ve yet to listen to this enchanting song, point your eager clicks to the download link below…
Josh Homme and Nick Oliveri! Now that was a sight back in the ol’ Queens of the Stone Age glory days, not to mention the Kyuss era, when these two giants of rock would simply plummet pure riffage across the stage and audience. In somewhat antagonistic positions, Oliveri and Homme were like brothers until unfortunate circumstances, well to known and deplorable to mention here, broke the two apart. QOTSA survived under Homme’s solitary rule, not…
Off the band’s upcoming highly anticipated new album, “Halcyon Digest”, Deerhunter’s new 7″ single “Revival” is available as of today for free download on the album’s mini-site – enter password tapereel. A few weeks ago fans were instructed to print and paste up posters with the new album in the home towns, and in return they’d be rewarded with access to the new single, but apparently anyone can do it. Besides the the single title…
The White House was host last month to a great selection of fine musicians like Jack White, Elvis Costello, Stevie Wonder, Jerry Seinfeld, Emmylou Harris, all of which performed as a tribute to Paul McCartney. Although it’s been a while since this happened it’s only been until today that video footage of the event has finally surfaced. Check out some incredible performances by Jack White and Dave Grohl performing “Mother Nature’s Son” and “My Michelle”,…
Arcade Fire’s third full length studio album, “Suburbs”, is just a few weeks away from its release, as such we’ve been granted to sample the whole album in snippets, 30 seconds for each of the 16 tracks to be more exact. You can stream the Suburbs preview on the player right below, while an awesome collage of the eight Suburbs covers can be found at the Arcade Fire website. (I’m not very sure which of…
Highland Park sextet Fol Chen (yeah, the raccoon dudes from SXSW) have been kind enough to fix everybody up with a free remix EP for “In Ruins”, the feature track off the band’s new record “Part II: The New December” out this month. The EP features remixes from Baths, Keepaway, Kárin Tatoyan and Julian Wass. The Baths remix is one to note, especially. DOWNLOAD the entire In Ruins remix EP. Fol Chen’s new album Part…
