U2

U2 are an Irish rock band from Dublin. Formed in 1976, the group consists of Bono (vocals and guitar), The Edge (guitar, keyboards, and vocals), Adam Clayton (bass guitar), and Larry Mullen, Jr. (drums and percussion). U2's early sound was rooted in post-punk but eventually grew to incorporate influences from many genres of popular music. Throughout the group's musical pursuits, they have maintained a sound built on melodic instrumentals, highlighted by The Edge's timbrally varied guitar sounds and Bono's expressive vocals. Their lyrics, often embellished with spiritual imagery, focus on personal themes and sociopolitical concerns.

For the last couple of days I’ve been away on a short stray to the mountain side, far from any means of communications – I didn’t even have any signal on my phone, let alone internet. That’s why, when I came home a few hours ago, I kinda felt like the last person in the [...]

Yup, that’s the new cover art for U2‘s upcoming twelfth studio effort, “No Line on the Horizon,” and while many hail it as one of the worse album art of the decade, we kinda find it okay, in a zen sorta way. The gray ocean horizon thingy was shot by Hiroshi Sugimoto, a Japanese photographer, [...]
