For those of you a bit unfamiliarized with the band, here’s a quick rock history lesson. Mudcrutch was mid ’70s rock band from Florida, that was packed with potential and talent, but unfortunately never made it big. The band apparently broke up prematurely, as they didn’t even record a proper studio album debut, but while Mudcrutch didn’t manage to achieve success, it did however spawn one of the most popular acts ever seen in the…
Coldplay, the famous British soft-hard-rock-pop-eclectic quartet, have just recently taken to the interwebs and revealed their latest album’s tracklist and, of course, title. The new record will be called “Viva la Vida,” most probably influenced by their stay in Barcelona, where they recorded the album and will contain just 10 tracks. The groups forth studio effort was set to be initially titled “Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends,” but luckily (for all…
The Californian punk quartet, The Offspring, have just revealed to their eagerly awaiting fans, that they’ve finally manged to finish recording their latest studio effort “Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace,” the band’s first album in five years, since the 2003 Splinter. “After over a year of recording, I’m happy to announce that we are finishing up our CD this week. We’ve worked really hard on this and I think it’s some of the best…
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…
The world renowned baritone Josh Groban had a wonderful professional year in 2007. His Chrismas carol album Noël was declared , with almost 3 million copies sold, the year’s best seller, spent five consecutive weeks on top of the Billboard 200, but also held a word class tour across the US. A live CD/DVD had to be made and of course it soon followed. Thus, on May 6th 2008, the Grammy award winning artist will…
Led Zeppelin’s recent, and possibly only, massive reunion gig that took place last December at the O2 Arena, might get on DVD. Speaking in the upcoming May issue of Uncut, the band’s guitarist Jimmy Page admitted that they had a crew that filmed the December 10 show, but confessed there wasn’t any intention whatsoever to convert the footage into a live DVD. “It was recorded, but we didn’t go in with the express purpose of…
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…
To celebrate their forthcoming Canada tour, the southern cal’ hard rockers Queens of the Stone Age, are set to release a “Limited Tour Edition” of last year’s ZME top 10 albums Era Vulgaris. The track will feature some awesome live versions of Era Vulgaris songs, as well as some of the band’s pre-Vulgaris songs. There’s one catch to it though: it’s only available in Canada upon its release on April 15. I guess it’s a…
The forthcoming presidential elections have certainly affected us all for a while, even the likes of the Philadelphia based hip-hop group The Roots. Details concerning their upcoming tenth studio album, titled “Rising Down,” have just recently surface, as band member ?uestlove calls the new record “probably our most political album to date, dealing with addiction, nihilism, hypocritical double standards in the prison system, and overall life in Philadelphia.” He soon follows-up saying Rising Down is…
