The new Muse album, “Resistance,” is out this week, and consequently expect to see the band all over TV and on tour (hopefully!). They’re latest appearance was on Jools Holland’s Later, where they played, accompanied by an orchestra, two feature tracks off the new record, “Uprising” and “United States of Eurasia.” Great show!

Not your typical Mars Volta video, seeing how it’s all fairly simple, featuring altering shots with the band playing their latest single “Since We’ve Been Wrong” in a studio, while being streamed on an old TV tube with a vintage feel.
It’s quite appealing though, despite its simplicity. It has one of those reminiscent vibe wrapped [...]
The album art for TMV’s upcoming album, Octahedron - out June 23.
A few months ago I talked a bit about The Mars Volta’s latest up and coming record, titled “Octahedron,” and how glad I was to hear that we’ll be finally dealing with a more cohesive and unitary record, seeing how supposedly the whole band [...]
Those masters of the shoe gaze, My Bloody Valentine, plan to inflict another dose of high-octane, high-volume progressive sounds at a secret LA show - said to be a warm-up for their Coachella appearance at the weekend. They will perform at the El Rey Theatre, located on the city’s Miracle Mile, on April 16th.
For anyone [...]
I really loved last year’s The Bedlam In Goliath from El Paso’s most formidable rock ansabmle, The Mars Volta. It had everything one could ask from a progressive/neo-pshychedelic record, while John Frusciante’s appearance on the instrumental side, added that special funk souce that eventually made In Goliath one of 2008’s best.
Much to my surprise, I’m [...]
Yesterday night Trent released a new single over the airwaves and interwebs, titled “Discipline.” This comes just barely a month after his NIN released their most recent LP, the instrumental Ghosts. I’m a bit confused by Trent’s new strategy of releasing mass music, seeing how the band’s members are free agents, free from any label [...]

Well whoever said that [tag]The Mars Volta[/tag] music is “puzzling” is oh so right, especially when the Long Beach, CA based band, recently put out a brain challenging puzzle on their website. The puzzle is made out of 16 blocks, all forming the cover art for TMV’s forthcoming 2008 studio album “The Bedlam in Goliath,” [...]
[tag]Nine Inch Nails[/tag] fans, around the world, were exited about the release of the 1337 R3M1X album of Year Zero, titled Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D, however those whom actually like to contribute with material and remixes of the band’s tracks were terribly disappointed when the album’s accompanying website, remixes.nin.com, wasn’t launched.
Apparently Doug Morris and Universal Records doesn’t want [...]
Here’s a new blow to the mainstream music industry for ya: Trent Reznor and co. have just ended their contract with Interscope and are now free agents. The 18 year old relationship between [tag]Nine Inch Nails[/tag] and their label has officially been broken yesterday, during an announcement on the band’s website:
