Source Papa Roach I don’t know what to say; are these guys still alive? Even though they released an album in 2012 you don’t hear much about Papa Roach. There’s nothing much to say about the video, because it’s a lyric video, and you maybe know the song, Silence is the Enemy, from The Connection album; but you’ve got to love this song, I mean with lyrics like: Like my opinion is…
Happy Daggers
Leeds is a city with a vibrant music scene: buzzing sounds, great bands, and a community ethos. ZME chats to Happy Daggers about their home town and the music they make there. You have quite a mix of styles going on, yet all seem to blend well. Are there any particular influences?

Geoff Barrow from Portishead insults Amy Winehouse calling her “Whiney Shithouse”
After the timely death in July last year, Amy Winehouse became much more popular than she was in the lifetime.

The woman at the forefront of this band is Louise…
Noteworthy noise: an interview with Sol Riot
The sound of the nineties… the raw, rough-and-tumble, ultra-defiant and overly-angsty sound of the nineties…is more than alive in Eugene, Oregon.

Recording right now with Justin Pizzoferrato (Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr.), the group also expects to release its first full-length album, which is…
