The garage rock revivalists have been on hiatus for quite a while now, but, apparently, the band’s going to get together soon and try some new things out, at least that’s what The Strokes drummer Fabrizio Moretti recently stated. According to Fabrizio, the band will reform and hit the studio to start working on a follow-up to their previous 2006 effort, “First Impressions On Earth”. “We have plans of meeting up all of us together…
The Killers’ new album “Day & Age” is still a bit distant, concerning its release date, with another 2 weeks left before it finally gets out. Despite this, most of it’s tracks, including the lead single Human, got leaked all over the internet for quite a while. Speeking of Human, the single’s B-side is called “A Creepling Blow,” and from my personal point of view, at least, it sounds better then the single itself. Quite…
There are billions of unsigned and indie artists to be found online. Some are worth a listen, others are interesting but not quite there, but the vast majority is trying too hard to find the elusive new sound and thus burying themselves into experimental oblivion. Songwriters are always a penny a dozen, even cheaper than guitarists or out-of-tune bass players. Nevertheless, effective songwriting is a question of angle and attitude. A good story needs not…
Since The Foos are currently on a undetermined hiatus, Dave Grohl must be getting bored and all that. It’s hard for a musician to entrap creativity inside him, and seeing how Dave’s one of the finest artists in the contemporary rock scene, it’s understandable why we can’t just hang it up for too long. Apparently, he e-mailed (did the digital age actually caught everybody from behind?) The Prodigy, asking them if they needed any help,…
Yesterday, the 5th of November, will most likely remain in the history books as one of the most important dates of US culture. The day the first colored American President was elected, President Obama. Fireworks, bonfires and loads of other celebrations swept the US and world, alike, in honor of this momentous day. I, for one, got really carried away by the hype and even forget that the day was synonymous with Guy Fawkes day,…
First I was stocked by the new EODM album art, then I got really jumpy when the official video for the first single Wannabe in LA come up, but I finally got my copy of Heart On the day before yesterday I was really close to climax. I won’t go ahead with the actual spinning of the CD, as it involves wet pants. Whatever. Anyway, yesterday Jesse Hughes, joined by some QOTSA maestros, including a…
If there was even a single doubt in your mind, it has to be shattered NOW. AC/DC fuc*ing rocks. After everything they’ve done, after releasing just dozens of massive classic hits, they just come back and ripped everything apart with their latest release, Black Ice. My fingers are just itching to write a review for that, so keep an eye out, cause the album’s just brilliant. But that’s not the issue here. The rock gods…
Artist name: Cardinals Album name: Cardinology Label: Lost Highway Records Gender: Alternative Rock, Country Release date: October 28, 2008 ZMErating: 9.5/10 Website: www.ryan-adams.com From my point of view, it’s a big shame that Ryan Adams has been in the spotlight due to his drug related problems and mental meltdowns and tantrums than for artistic reasons. But if he had a chance to release an album that would rise him above his current level, Cardinology would…
Ryan Adams latest, tenth album, recorded with his long time collaborators The Cardinals, titled “Cardinology”, got out on shelves of record stores all over the country this week. It’s quite incredible how Ryan manages to spit out records after records in such a short time span. Sincerely, he would put most other songwriters to shame, but, like I’ve already said it before, I feel like he’s rushing things too much. This leads to half-baked stuff….
I really loved this year’s “Viva la Vida” by Coldplay, quite unexpectedly, actually. Lovers in Japan, the band’s latest single, is one of my favorite songs off new album, next to Lost and 42, thanks to its easy going, anthemic vibe. I’m really a sucker for these types of melodies. The video doesn’t come any shorter, either, with simple, colorful, visually stimulative frames, that makes the whole experience a lot more pleasant and relaxing. It…
