Kiss’ first album in a decade got out this week, backed up by unusual favorable reviews, considering their previous record, “Psycho Circus”, was more or less a flop. Recently, the band paid ol’ Dave a visit at his Late Night Show were they performed live the first single off the new album “Sonic Boom,” the infectiously reminiscent “Modern Day Delilah.” Sonic Boom is out now on Universal/Roadrunner. At the moment Kiss is on an extensive…
Last month, in what’s most probably the most unexpected moment of the year, modern indie rock forefathers Pavement announced that the band will indeed reform for a run of shows exactly a year from now. Like most of us thought, Pavement won’t make do with just a few nights at the Central Park Summer Stage and will also play other venues, the first until now being their confirmed appearance as headliners/curators at the 2010 All…
ZME: A simple, maybe a little dumb question first: why did you call the band „Springfactory” ? A short description will do. We saw a sign outside a factory that read ”Welcome to Springfactory” We just thought it could be a good name for a band. This was before we had even started a band together. ZME: Springfactory is formed by Lina Cullemark, Peter Gunnarson, Daniel Holmström, Magnus Svedjebratt and Mikael Hall. Could you each…
In just a few weeks, Devendra Banhart new album “What Will We Be” is scheduled for release under Warner Bros., marking his first release under a major label. Naturally, he’ll be touring through much of North America, with his name stamped across most festivals’ posters. For now though, all we know is of his upcoming short trek in North America this November, but expect him to return to extensive touring after the holidays.What Will We…
Being a big music aficionado, I’ve kinda developed a very eclectic taste in music. I can go from punk to old school jazz to blues to classic rock to grunge, whatever with ease, depending in what mood I’m in. Lately, though, I’ve become more and more immersed into the electronic music scene. Up until a year or so ago, I had no idea how deeply rooted the electronic music genre, and community mind you, is….
It’s been way too long since we’ve heard any new material from the fantastic electro-pop Canadian duo Chromeo. “Night by Night”, the latest track signed Chromeo will definitely get you boogie in no time, thanks to its Eye of the Tigeresque rhythm, disco beats and funky guitar chops. As an added bonus, you guys should definitely check out The Chromeotizer for some serious fun. Night by Night is featured on the Green Label Sound. [MP3]…
It’s been so far so good for Thom Yorke’s latest project, with two shows in Los Angeles that have earned rave reviews with critics and fans alike. Although with such impressive backup, it was hardly going to be any different. The idea that Flea’s funky bass stylings would slip neatly under Yorke’s darker sound and esoteric vocal style is not a thought that would have come to many, but the singer’s solo material seems to…
I call voodoo on These United States’ latest video for the band’s infectious single “Everything Touches Everything.” Voodoo and all, you gotta admit that a charismatic scarecrow frontman, together with his skilled corn mates make up for one hell of kick ass band. They get a shit load of crows for groupies too. Life as a rockstar farmer is just awesome! Off the band’s recently released new album Everything Touches Everything out now via United…
Everyone’s favorite afro-pop indie band (ahem, this generation’s Talking Heads) has debuted their new single on their official website. You can stream it or you can download it just by supplying an email address. The song isn’t any real departure from their eponymous debut, and, in fact, would fit rather well towards the end of it. The track’s bouncy nature, however, displays the band in a more forward-thinking manner, embracing the Remain In Light influences…
