Velvet Revolver are definetly a mean green music machine. Their previous release, Libertad was acclaimed and was one of the best rock releases of the year. Blazing guitar parts, hard vocals and agressive lyrics made it an album which you have to listen to; and you can either love it or hate it, there’s no middle way.But the boys are not settling; instead, they are going on a tour and even planning a new album!…

This strike has been going on for some time and I’m beggining to wonder how things are going to turn out. I think they have a very good point and every right to keep staying on strike, but at the same time I’m curios about how much longer this is going to last. Well Hollywood writers have decided against picketing the upcoming Grammy Awards but the Writers Guild of America’s board of directors has yet…
This year’s 80th Oscar nominees are in, with it’s fare share of pleasant and well, not so pleasant surprises. As not so pleasant goes, we were a bit dishearten when the nominees list was posted, earlier this morning, and we couldn’t score Johnny Greenwood or Eddie Vedder on the list, despite countless critical appraisal. We remind that Johnny scored the soundtrack for one of this years, best picture nominee There Will Be Blood, while Eddie…
That’s it guys, after months and months of lineup speculations, the news are in, for this year’s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, that takes place between April 25-27, in the hot, but always cool Indio, California. No big surprises here, with no spectacular bands announcing a comeback or something (we’re obviously thinking about My Bloody Valentine), but there’s still time for that. The lineup is still very solid with such headliners like Roger Waters…
After a year filled with all sort of reunions it seems we are going to have another share of reunited bands. This time we are talking about Triumph. They made history during the late 1970s and 80s and made a name for themselves as a great live band, with guitarist Rik Emmett being compared with Eddie Van Halen numerous time for his guitar chops. They released over 10 albums in their carreer. Now, members Rik…
The latest news post from the [tag]Yeah Yeah Yeahs[/tag]’ brand new, shiny, website reads “HAPPPYYY FREAKIN NEW YYYEAR,” in the titled and we can’t help but wonder wtf? I mean new year’s been 2 and a half weeks ago, but I guess the fact the band’s been a bit in isolation, recording and writing their new album, does both excuse themselves for the late greeting and deeply makes us happy. Who doesn’t love new music?…
It’s been 5 years since [tag]Counting Crows[/tag]’s marvelous last album, Hard Candy dropped on a hot summer day of 2002. Now the Californian seven piece band, are preparing to release their highly anticipated followup, titled “Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings.”It’s a really different album, in terms of concept, like nothing the band’s done before. In short it’s a record centered around redemption and regret, being split into two parts (it’s all on a CD though),…
I sense a disturbance in the force ! [tag]Radiohead[/tag] must be up to something … again and their not being very discrete, although as always surprising. If you’ve had loads of fun with the Brits previous webcasts, thumbs down and scotch_mist, then you’ll be thrilled to know that the band have announced, as always though their deadairspace, a brand new live webcast on radiohead.tv, tonight! The cast will air sometime around 8-ish, London time, from…
Chicago punk four piece. [tag]Rise Against[/tag], have just posted some updates, regarding the progress of their still untitled fifth album, on the band’s website. After wrapping up a busy year of touring with the Taste of Chaos. a handful of radio shows and two holiday shows in Canada, we were spent and glad to get home.
