This name should ring a bell by now. They’re from the UK and have already released three 7″ singles and two albums – “The Best Party Ever” in 2005 and “The Law of the Playground” earlier this year (march 9th in the UK and april 14th in the USA). The band is actually just two members: Peter Hobbs and Jof Owen. Jof writes all of the lyrics and is the voice you hear in their…
Album title: Bitte orca Artist name: Dirty Projectors Genre: Experimental Rock/Indie Released: 9 June 2009 Label: Domino Records ZME Rating: 10/10 Website: http://www.westernvinyl.com/dirty_projectors What’s possibly one of the most weirdest, yet at the same time ridiculously catchy indie acts of the past couple of years, Dirty Projectors never ceases to amaze us. Be it Dave Longstreth’s uncanny attempt to recreate Black Flag’s iconic Damaged after not listening to it for over 15 years (see the…
Did I mention how much I love great remixes? The one bellow is mixed by The Soundmen, and it simply sounds amazing. Think Grizzly Bear meets Lil Wayne, erhhh… literally! Bet you never thought this kind of mash up could work. Well, think again, give it a listen and prepare to be astonished! [MP3] Grizzly Bear + Lil Wayne – 2 Weeks Til Prom And if you thought this was a coincidence, download the whole…
Last year’s “Crimes” by D.C.’s These United States was quite incredible, packing loads of witty garage rock, sprinkled with a touch of sweet folk and gospel. Jesse Elliot’s narrative talents simply shine in his lyrics, such that a remarkable depth in sound is being reached. Yes, I’m in love with These United States’ music, and it’s quite refreshing when you finally see a band with personality, especially considering when you’ve got an evergrowing thick pool…
Blitzen Trapper’s last year full length effort “Furr”was with out a doubt their best work as of yet, as well as one of the best album put out in 2008. Since I first listened to it a long, long time ago, the Dylan-esque “Black River Killer” has always struck out to me as the definite stand out amongst the 12 other gems. The Daniel Elkayam directed video shot for it doesn’t fall any shorter as…
The Dead Weather’s debut, the Nashville all-star quartet comprised of White Stripes’ frontman Jack White, the Kills’ Alison Mosshart, Raconteurs bassist Jack Lawrence, and Queens of the Stone Age’s Dean Fertita, is set for its official release next week, slowly bringing the excitement of thousands of intrigued fans to an end. This seeing how we’ve all been terribly keen to see (more like hear) how this project will turn out, ever since the first announcements…
Make yourselves a favour, and before starting to read this article, go to JJ’s MySpace and listen to his songs while reading the following interview. They’re really good pop songs. Just as You! like them. And while listening, go through this article and read about his music, his future plans, when he plans on releasing his next album and so many more, including his hot party track list and his favourite bands. Zme: „If we…
It’s really hard not to love Tenacious D, the greatest band in the world! OK, maybe not quite the greatest, but it’s definitely the most awesome satirical duo to ever grace a stage (Flight of the Conchords does a good job in coming up next). Anyway, I was grooving on Tenacious D’s “The Complete Master Works 2” DVD for the 4315161 time now,when it hit me. I had then just realized that up until now,…
Whoa this some day for music folks! Members from Led Zeppelin, Foo Fighters and Queens of the Stone Age teamed up and are already working on a new album, and definitely not one to be snubbed. Although some speculations have been made for quite a while (perhaps with some small variations), this became official actually thanks to a ‘marital indiscretion’. Yes, you can easily guess it’s Homme’s wife that leaked. Brody Dalle, also playing in…
Last year’s “Intimacy” didn’t really cut it for me, being way too blunt and really unattractive by all means. Not even the following remix version didn’t manage to deliver something positive, although I usually find remixes to work well on more modest releases. Surprisingly, something like a week ago, the band premiered a new single, right out of the blue, called “One More Chance” – a catchy song with a lot of hooks and bouncy…
