The Boss is ready to put out another solid release, as his 16th studio album, “Working on a Dream,” is set to get out at the beginning of the new year. I really enjoyed Bruce’s last year album, Magic, and thought it made quite an awesome winter record, because it had that Christmas cheer on so many of the tracks. It had a lot of hope and passion, like most of Bruce Springsteen’s records to…
I knew Axl and his lot were outrageous from the start, but this latest stunt is really weird, not to say stupid – the type of thing Prince would be proud of. Ok, remember the Dr. Pepper ad that stated if Chinese Democracy would finally get released in 2008, then the company would give out a can of Dr. Pepper to every American citizen (apart from Slash and Buckethead, of course)? Well, this week, on…
What’s maybe the most iconic and appreciated noise rock group ever, the Chicago underground super group The Jesus Lizard, is set to reform and tour next year just like in the old days. A lot of mayhem is predicted, thus! The last we’ve seen the band together was almost a decade ago, when Jesus Lizard decided to call it quits and let each member go on his own roads. Speaking of which, all four of…
Awesome news, everybody! No Doubt is finally re-grouping after a very long absence and is set to embark on a new tour, probably, right after their new album is out – as reported by nodoubt.com. Last year we reported that the band was working hard in the studio on a new album, but because Gwen was busy with her solo tour, progress has been slow. The band last played together in 2004 and since then…
Wow, boys and girls, what a week! We’ve just reached that time of the year when the final big releases come out, in anticipation for the jolly holidays and the frantic shopping season. Everything that comes out after this, until after the new year, is either anti-mainstream, has a bad marketing team or simply doesn’t care. I’ll start up with one of the most anticipated records in history, “Chinese Democracy” by Guns ‘n’ Roses. Was…
The year is 1992. Nirvana is in full swing by now, after releasing what would become one of the decade’s most influential record – “Nevermind.” Of course, back then the annual MTV Music Awars was something every artist and teen alike was looking forward to every year, but something really weird happen in ’92, which, to this day, after 16 years, still remains one of the most awkward moments in televised history. If you remeber…
No, Jay Reatard is far from being a retard. He’s quite brilliant actually, as far as Memphis garage-punk goes. The video bellow is for “See/Saw,” the first A-Side in the Matador Singles ’08 series, and, as incredible as it might sound, this is really Jay’s first ever music video. We trust Matador Records enough to take their word for it. Wild, frantic, energetic. Each and all of these at one place can describe both the…
Sad news for Velvet Revolver members and fans. A few months ago their lead singer, former Stone Templar Pilots frontman Scott Weiland, got sacked by the band, but after failing to pick a replacement (Sebastian Bach and Royston Langdon have been rumored as possible solutions), it seems that now Velvet Revolver has had its contract revoked with its label, RCA. The band performed pretty well, during its short time span existence. VR’s debut, “Contraband”, sold…
Some news broke up earlier on NME, concerning a possible Coldplay disbanding, sometime next year. The whole thing was and is still considered only a rumor, but from then till now, it has been taken down by the NME officials, thus giving us reasons to believe there must be some spark of truth to the story after all. After a bit of diging around, we come across this quote. “I’m 31 now and I don’t…
Back when summer was in full swing, we posted Franz Ferdinand’s first single in a long time, the iTunes exclusive Lucid Dreams, a song set to appear on the band’s upcoming third full length studio album – “Tonight: Franz Ferdinand.” Yesterday the Scotsmen premiered a new single, “Ulysses,” on BBC’s Radio 1, and now it’s available for streaming on their myspace page. The song is pretty Franz Ferdinandish, if I may. Sarcastic, fun and very…
