Quite a few quality releases this week. The obvious standout of the week is Hold Steady‘s new record “Heaven is Whenever“, which aside from our obvious affection for the band is well on par with their previous material, making it a definite recommend! “Forgiveness Rock Record“, Broken Social Scene‘s first record in five years, is [...]

How have we not posted about this already? The Hold Steady’s new album, Heaven is Whenever, is all set for release in May (the 4th in America, 3rd in Europe), and to set tongues a-waggin’, they’ve been drip-feeding songs from the album around the internet like delicious little morsels of heroin – seemingly innocuous, but [...]

Official cover art for “Heaven is Whenever” Another highly anticipated LP this year is the allegedly ‘less anthemic’ “Heaven Is Whenever“, Hold Steady‘s follow-up to the band’s previous incredible effort, the 2008 “Stay Positive“. ‘Less anthemic’ as Craig Finn puts it, though, since if I were to judge the new album by its first single, [...]

Hope you’ve all had one hell of a crazy, yet responsible, good time this New Year’s Eve  – after all, it was the last party of the year, of the decade for that matter. Oh, and it’s been such a sweet year for music, filled with some incredible scores on all fronts, hasn’t it? Rest [...]
