‘AM’ – the newest Arctic Monkeys album is up for streaming on iTunes. The album, which is set for release on September 9, is their fifth, and includes some notable guests, including Josh Homme and former member of The Coral, Bill Ryder-Jones. In an interview with Zane Lowe on BBC Radio 1, Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner said that the album title was inspired by the Velvet Underground’s 1985 compilation album VU. “I actually stole…
‘Let’s turn this shit up until it blows the fuck up,’ Josh Homme tells the crowd at London’s Rough Trade East Some 200 people were lucky enough to hear Josh Homme and the boys hit an intimate gig at London’s Rough Trade East; they were treated to a mixture of classic songs and stuff from their new album, ‘…Like Clockwork’, which is currently enjoying the band’s highest ever UK chart placing at Number Two. They…
Following the teaser video which sparked commotion all over the blogosphere in anticipation for its impending release, just a few minutes ago Jack White released the official music video accompanying “Freedom 21”; a classic rock song off the White Stripes’ frontman incredibly well received debut album. The video’s a whole full fledged roller coaster ride, thrilling watchers from start to finish. Fast cars, tattoos, side boobs, and a raging guitar solo – few rock songs…
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…
Exactly one month ago we were stoked to report the formation of one of the most awesome supergroups to see the light of day in years – a band comprised of none other than Led Zep’s John Paul Jones, Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl and Queens of the Stone Age’s Josh Homme. Today, we’ve got a name for the three – The Crooked Vultures. Looks like the band’s first show will be held at Chicago’s Metro…
Being both a huge Josh Homme and Arctic Monkeys fan, it’s impossible for me not to love this neo-psychedelia bomb. Adventurous and murky, “Crying Lightning” is a brilliant move forward by the monkeys. Oh, yes, this is gonna be a terribly interesting album – the third in the Arctic Monkeys catalog. Not too interesting of a video for Crying Lightning , though. Just the band, with increasing hair issues (somebody should tell Alex Turner the…
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…
Although he’s been under some heavy critique lately, especially after that little Norwegian Wood incident, Josh Homme is still a more then capable artist, and last year’s Era Vulgaris more then proves that. However, QOTSA isn’t the only thing keeping him busy, as his garage side project with Jesse Hughes, Eagles of Death Metal, is prepping to release a new album in October. Those familiar with the band know the band shines with devilish eccentricity,…
Alex Turner’s Arctic Monkeys are quite the workaholics, apparently, with a new record every year, or at least that’s what the band makes us think. After the 2006 extraordinary debut, and last year’s “Favorite Worst Nightmare”, the Arctic Monkeys are now preparing to head back to the studio to work on a new album, albeit chances for it getting released in 2008 are very slim. Joining them, however, on the new record is none other…
