Oh, people never leave these poor people alone, do they? First there was that really awesome cruel emo witch-hunt back in Mexico, then there was that all press mambo jambo going on with an English teenage emo who killed herself, now to top things off the State Duma is thinking about passing a law to ban the emo current all together in Mother Russia. According to NME a legislation is already currently being formulated in…
Yesterday brought some sad news, folks. Our favorite post punkers, the Nashville quartet Be Your Own Pet just announced through a press release on their MySpace blog, that the band will officially disband soon. “To all of our fans, we are sad to bring you the news that our upcoming shows in the UK are going to be our last as a band. We thank you for all your love and support these past few…
[tag]Radiohead[/tag] has a long history of forgetting conventions and experiencing new things. So there’s virtually little things that could surprise us coming from them. Or so we thought…. Apparently, it seems the video for their latest single, House of Cards, has been filmed projected in a whole different manner, with the help of two ultra-high end technologies Geometric Informatics and Velodyne Lidar. ‘ The Geometric Informatics scanning system employs structured light to capture detailed 3D…
It seems [tag]The Who[/tag] may embark on a tour, of unclear proportions, soon. Lead singer, Roger Daltrey, has expressed his intentions of permanently dissolving the band on multiple occasions and this seems like it will be the last tour the band will ever perform in. So, if you want to see one of the greatest and influential rock’n’roll band in history playing live, this might quite possibly be your last chance. So far only two…
A while back Jack White made some comments in the previous Rolling Stone issue, in which he called the Detroit music scene very “negative and suffocating.” This lead to a swarm of misunderstanding and misinterpretations among [tag]White Stripes[/tag] fans and Detroit citizens alike, especially considering Jack moved from Detroit to Nashville back in 2006. Thing is Jack really loves his home town and the people who live in it, it’s just the music scene that…
Right at the end of 2007, we’ve made a small preview of the current year, in which we expressed our excitement for what we believe to be a very fruitful year for music. Everybody knows the best releases come in the summer time. That’s when all the big festivals and tours are held and that’s when almost all the great albums get released. Thoughtful as they are, our colleagues from Pitchfork took the time to…
Listen up “maggots,” the Iowan metal heads of [tag]Slipknot[/tag] are making their last preparations, before the release of their much anticipated forth full studio album, “All Hope Is Gone,” scheduled to hit the record stores on August 26. The celebrate this forth installment and probably to better promote their upcoming new work, the band have also released footage of the new mask. Slipknot have always been famous for their massive cult fallowing, that like to…
After they’ve released a more or less successful [tag]Prince[/tag] cover compilation record, in the form of Controversy, a while ago, the fine folks from Rapster are back with yet another cover song compilation LP, this time featuring artists influenced by the great [tag]David Bowie[/tag]. Matthew Dear, Carl Craig, Kelley Polar, Au Revoir Simone, Joakim, and the Thing are just a few artists who cover the Thin White Duke on “Life Beyond Mars: Bowie Covered”. The…
That’s right ladies and gents, the (probably) most expected album of the year has been officially named. After many many controversies and other stuff I’ll barely mention here (they first said it will be released in February then delayed it for September, then Dave Grohl wrote them an open letter, and many other things) they finally set the name for their new album. Wat’s it called? Death Magnetic. When I first heard this, I had…
Photo courtesy of dave1968 We didn’t have a chance to write about this, but about a week ago Metallica previewed a mix of songs from their forthcoming new album, to a bunch of journalists in London. Apparently there was a misunderstanding, though, and the subsequent reviews of the material where quickly withdrawn from various websites, within minutes from their posting. Now, the band itself (the whole mix was put to the journalists disposal by their…
