Today was the big day for No Doubt fans across the world: their first album in over a decade was released. ‘Push and Shove’ hit the shelves on September 25 and having listened to it a couple of times, I can say it’s quite intriguing. I didn’t know exactly what to expect from them, maintaining the same style or a massive adaptation to the global changes in music… but it sounds good. It sounds damn…
It was bound to happen; you knew it, I knew it, the dude next door who plays just too much World of Warcraft knew it: Gangnam style Halloween costumes. The number of entrepreneurs and companies trying to cash in on the recent, humongous success of the song just keeps growing, and considering how Halloween is already a large scale business, this comes at no surprise. “We expect this to be a HUGE costume trend this…
Let’s face it, 2012 wasn’t the best year in music, but still there’s been quite a few brilliant releases. So what can we expect for next week? Quite a lot, actually. Perhaps the most anticipated album is Green Day’s “Uno!”, the first of an announced trilogy, especially considering Billy Joe Armstrong’s recent voice problems. It will be the first of three albums in the ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, ¡Tré! trilogy, a series of studio albums to be…
Peaking Lights (Soundcloud here) consists of Aaron and Indra from Rah Dunes and Numbers respectively, and they’re just the kind of band with an eerie, dreamy flow that just takes you away. Tape loops, weaving electronic pulses, harmonic voices and guitar, drums and synth, all of which make it the perfect soundtrack for walking through a haunted neighborhood, a misty forest or an abandoned river bank. Peaking Lights – “Dreambeat” (Official Video) from Urban Outfitters…
Russia is not a country prone to support freedom of speech, as members of the all-girl punk band Pussy Riot found out; truth be told, they screwed up. They entered a cathedral and played a song in which they asked Virgin Mary to rid the Russian people of Putin, former president, now prime minister. In any civilized country, this would cause them some serious trouble, but in Russia, the trouble was double. They were jailed…
Album name: American Capitalist Artist name: Five Finger Death Punch Genre: Heavy Metal Released: October 11, 2011 Label: Prospect Park ZME Rating: 9/10 Website: FFDP As one of my mates quite eloquently put it, ‘Five Finger Death Punch delivered yet another great set of groove metal’. Many have said that this would be the album that defines their sound, and that now we’re truly going to see what they’re made of. Well if you…
Cyndi Lauper is one hell of a singer ! If you haven’t listened to her, you really should, it’s exactly the 80s kind of oldies but goldies, and with a tremendous voice. But she’s also one hell of entertainer, and after all these years, she still knows how to have fun. Things were getting pretty ugly in the airport in Buenos Aires, flights were delayed and canceled, and everybody was on the edge of their…
So, just another morning, browsing the internet and all, when I came across this picture. I’m gonna chalk it up to no comment, but seriously, do you remember Nirvana ?
The story of Kings of Leon is remarkable; the guys did good music for a lot of time, became superhits, and entered 2010 as absolute superstars. But the southeners finished the year with a totally different mood. Their country-tinged fifth album, “Come Around Sundown” failed to please both fans and critics, and as it often happens, it backfired against them. Group’s guitarist Matthew Followill tells Spinner that he absolutely understands what fans and critics think,…
Man I gotta tell you, sometimes I really love the world – though not that often. A while ago, we were telling you about former KISS member and overall goof Gene Simmons, who was saying something in the lines of: sue everybody, blablabla. OK, I’ll even drop a quote: “Make sure there are no incursions. Sue everybody. Be litigious. Take their homes, their cars. Don’t let anybody cross that line.” Now guess what happens if…
