Well we haven’t heard anything about Oasis for quite a while, that is if you don’t count the fact that Noel Gallagher sold his house because of James Blunt. But we know they’ve been working hard on their album. Whatsmore, now they announced that they’re going to hit the road again; actually they are coming to North America this summer for a short run of dates that will culminate with a headlining performance at Toronto’s…
Well, we’ve written a lot about Velvet Revolver, because one thing’s for sure: keeping a supergroup together is hard. Scott Weiland has always been a nut job really agitated guy, getting involved into all sort of problems. But the man’s a great frontman, you have to give him credit for that. So, ever since he drove drunk and it was announced that the Stone Temple Pilots were reuniting, things started going downhill. Still, things seemed…
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member says he wants to take things to the extreme with his new album, despite the title of the album is “Keep It Simple”. Well he’s always been one to keep his word, so we’re really expecting to see the results. This is in fact his first set of self wrote-songs since 2005, and the release is going to focus on laid-back soul and relaxed blues grooves through…
Artist name: Counting Crows Album name: Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings Label: Geffen Gender: Folk Rock Release date: March 25, 2008 ZMErating: 10/10 Website: www.countingcrows.com Well boys ‘n’ girls it’s here! Don’t know if you were expecting it, but I certainly eagerly awaited their return. Without further ado, I’ll just get right into it and tell you about it. First of all, the name struck me; could it be related in any way with the…
From their recently released `Scream Aim Fire’, Bullet For my Valentine prepares the next single, Waking the Demon. Having thoroughly listened to the album, I doubt this is the best decision they could have made. Inspired from what just may be a teenagers worst nightmare, getting bullied at school, it could just be the hardest song from the album, but it’s by no means the best. But it has a great importance for the band…
When I read about this, two ideas slammed into the walls of my brain: “great” and “blasphemy”. I mean, Queen without Freddie is like a party without booze, yet who wouldn’t go to such a gig, even just to hear Brian May do his thing? Now don’t get me wrong, I have absolutely nothing against Paul Rodgers… he’s great! But filling the shoes of a man who undoubtely was among the best frontmen in the…
Well 2007 was a year of reunions and it seems this year is going in the same direction. Now, the latest name that hit that list is English rock band formed in Wigan, the Verve. They haven’t started a tour in more than 10 years, but they already announced thier North American tour will start at The Warfield in San Francisco, CA on April 23rd, warming up for its performance at the Coachella Valley Music…
Well holding a super rock group together can definetly be a challenge, especially when you’ve got Scott Weiland there. To be quite frank, it’s a surprise for me that they lasted so long together. But now, pressure’s starting: The Stone Temple Pilots are planning a reunion tour, Slash is preparing a new solo release, and many other things. Anyway, Scott Weiland stunned fans at last Thursday’s (March 20) VR concert in Glasgow, Scotland, UK by…
Well to tell you the truth I can’t imagine what it was like decades ago, when blues singers went into juke joints and sang their lungs and fingers off, for food and something to drink, or for very few cash in the fortunate cases. Anyway, the feel and groove must have been fantastic; and who knows this better than B.B. King? To celebrate those days, he bought Club Ebony in Indianola, which has been owned…
Well this most definetly isn’t a title your average rock band will fight for and I’m not sure it’s something you should take pride in. You don’t wanna fall into the trap of becoming all mushy and stuff. So how come they beat Coldplay to get this title? To get the answet to that, you should just listen to the countless music scribes who can’t get through a profile piece on the act without mentioning…
