“Goddamn Europeans” seems to shout out PJ Harvey through out her latest full length studio release, titled “Let England Shake”, and slated for a February 15 release. Luckily, with week in advance we’ve been privileged enough to sample the whole album in its entirety via the ever giving NPR stream. Hit play below and stream PJ’s eight studio release in its entirety.
The “Big Four” of of the ’80s thrash metal movement – ya know: Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer and Anthrax – is finally touring together in America…at some point. This, of course, comes after they toured Europe last year and put out a concert DVD from the Bulgaria show. All we know so far is that it’s happening. Apparently, tour dates are to be announced sometime…later. Anyhow, I bring this up because I have wonder why this…
At the beginning of last year’s summer I showed myself skeptic with respect to a movie solely based on facebook and its founders, but showed a lot of interest in its soundtrack penned by Reznor and Atticus Ross. In the meantime, I saw the Social Network, I’ve sampled the soundtrack and I have to admit they’re both up par. Not that it holds any relevance, but the critics are also all over the movie, gaining…
At the beginning of the year Dave Grohl and his Foo Fighters announced out of a sudden that they’ve finished recording the band’s seventh studio full length, leaving Foo fans and reminiscing grunge fanatics incredibly anxious. Not much is known about it, except from what Grohl already told us, namely that old Nirvana buddy Krist Novoselic plays bass somewhere on the record and that it’s the “heaviest [Foo Fighters] work to date.” The first single…
To be exact, it was two days ago (Tuesday, January 11) and it’s called “H.A.M.” The single is taken from the forthcoming album he made with Jay-Z called Watch The Throne, due out sometime in March. Oh, and he (originally) released it on the official Facebook page for the album. I kid you not. In order to hear it (or, rather, have heard it), you have to like the page. It’s worth your time, of…
The story of Kings of Leon is remarkable; the guys did good music for a lot of time, became superhits, and entered 2010 as absolute superstars. But the southeners finished the year with a totally different mood. Their country-tinged fifth album, “Come Around Sundown” failed to please both fans and critics, and as it often happens, it backfired against them. Group’s guitarist Matthew Followill tells Spinner that he absolutely understands what fans and critics think,…
So that supergroup I raved about a while back has their entire album, Ironiclast, available for streaming over at Ultimate Guitar’s website. Upon first listen, it’s a lot of fun. It’s (really) old school metallic hard rock. Nothing too complex: great riffs, anthemic choruses, wily solos – you get the idea. There really aren’t any surprises here, which is actually a good thing. You know exactly what the entire album is no matter which single…
Not with a voice like that it won’t! One of Domino Record’s latest signees is London’s Anna Calvi, a rising talent from the borrows with a voice of an angel and fingers as if molded on the guitar. Where she shines however is on the stage, as some who’ve seen her live with Grinderman this fall can confirm – a stage overflowed with a cascade of raw emotions – quite peculiar considering Calvi’s a very…
The guy behind American Hardcore: A Tribal History, a book detailing the history of hardcore punk that later spawned a film, has uploaded 24 hours of hardcore punk (911 songs). The set contains all the logical inclusions: D.R.I., Black Flag, Bad Religion, NOFX, and Scream (the band Dave Grohl was in before Nirvana). You can stream any of the 911 songs or download them if you like. Which is what makes this compilation slightly dubious….
