After 4 long years of hiatus, the prog legends are back in business, with a new line-up: guitarist and mastermind Robert Fripp announced the big news in his latest diary entry, noting that the band will now feature a seven member lineup. The addition is remarkable; to be more precise, the lineup will feature Porcupine Tree drummer Gavin Harrison, second drummer Bill Rieflin of R.E.M, virtuoso bassist Tony Levin, third drummer Pat Mastelotto, Mel Collins…
It’s very reminiscent of “Miami Vice” – Drake is really going for it in “Hold On We’re Going Home” featuring Canadian duo Majid Jordan. Actually, it’s more a short movie then a video clip, but featuring A$AP Rocky and Chicago rapper Fredo Santana, it’s definitely worth your time.
Amidst some personal legal problems, M.I.A. has finally shared the cover of her long expected delayed album, Matangi. The album is theoretically coming out on November 5 through Interscope, though I wouldn’t bet all my money on that one. More visuals and a taste of the new album below. Oh, and if you really wanna see something wicked, select the pictures as if you were selecting a text box – it’s seriously awesome. Via M.I.A.’s…
It’s a nice, simple day, until something you stumbled upon something totally awesome like this: Who wants to see Bob Dylan with a blowtorch? Or even better, see the works of art he created ? Not content with being one of the greatest songwriters of all time, he’s turned his hand to iron and metalwork. You can check his work if you’re in London at an exhibiton at Halcyon Gallery in November. Damn I’m jealous…
It didn’t take Kanye long enough to show off his megalomania once more – the interview with Zane Lowe had barely started when he 36-year-old rapper said “people are going to be talking about this interview in five years time”. Thing is, that may very well be. During the course of 60 fist clenching cringe-inducing minutes Kanye addressed anything and everything, from Lady Gaga to jogging pants, and from the Internet to being the biggest…
The Florida rockers have officially streamed their new album, ‘Fortress’, prior to the 8 October release. Featuring 12 new song, the album is the 4th effort from Alter Bridge, and it goes a long way towards what guitarist Mark Tremonti called the process of “proving themselves”: “When I was growing up and I’d see a band’s fourth album, I’d feel like, ‘Wow, they’re at the end of their career. I’ll be lucky to have four…
Get your hype ready people: a Pantera reunion is quite possible. Guitarist Zakk Wylde is very interesting in participating in such a reunion, taking over late axeman Dimebag Darrell’s parts. Wylde discusses such a feat, talking about how it’s a great way to pay homage to Dimebag, while also pleasing fans and providing a great experience for remaining band members. “If they were like ‘We’re gonna do it and honor Dimebag’ and ‘Zakk, would you…
It’s as simple as it sounds: Mumford and Sons will go on a hiatus, and the hiatus won’t end in the forseeable future. The band revealed their plan to take a break following a mammoth tour of their newest album “Babel” which won several Grammys, broke sales records and ended in Kansas. “There won’t be any Mumford & Sons activities for the foreseeable future following Friday’s show,” said keyboardist Ben Lovett on what will be…
It’s not clear if this is intentional or not, but one thing’s for sure: we have a new single from the metal giants, Motorhead. The song, titled “Heartbreaker,” is the lead single from the band’s upcoming “Aftershock” album, and it kicks so hard it’s barely legal. Classic motorhead, seriously awesome, makes me hardly wait for the entire album! A few days ago, Motorhead also revealed the entire track listing and cover. “Aftershock” will be released…
I’m still dazzled by Daft Punk and their latest album, Random Access Memories. Seriously, the fact that it stayed on top of the Billboard chart for so long, that it sold 1 million copies in like 2 days, it almost says nothing – the album is that good. Now, they’ve released the video for Lose Yourself to Dance, one of the best tracks on the album, which features some good company – Pharell and Nile…
