… except for the genre break through act Modest Mouse, that is. More than 15 years ago, Isaack Brock’s gang was playing music so original, so unidentifiable, so hard to mimic, that it was almost impossible to categorize into a genre, nowadays plainly called indie rock. Modest Mouse’s last studio effort, their fifth, titled “We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank,” was really amazing and uplifting, like much of the rest of their catalog,…
The Concretes don’t need a long introduction, since they have been making music for us, for the past ten years – they are active, as a band, since 1995. The indie pop band comes from Stockholm (Sweden). They began as a three-piece band – Victoria Bergsman, Maria Eriksson, and Lisa Milberg – but have had as many as eight members at once. Presently, the band members are as follow: – Lisa Milberg (vocals, drums, etc),…
It’s been a pretty long time since I’ve last written a New Music Monday post, and I’m really sorry about that. The massive exams period is over anyway, and now it’s time to catch up with some quality music. “Horehound” by alt Nashville super group The Dead Weather finally gets out this week, after months and months of anticipation and massive promotion (seems there’s no music blog you can read these days without running into…
Guess it was really just a matter of time until someone thought of shooting a music video solely with an iPhone. I mean, if you can make music on your iPhone, why not shoot a music video too? Makes sense. Showdown Productions LLC, an Ohio based small time production company, just recently finished production on a music video for “Play” by BJSR, using only the new video-capable iPhone 3GS and an improvised camera stabilizer for…
Last year, in August, we had a veritable indie soap-opera on our hands, after Brandon Cox, also known under the moniker of Atlas Sound, had an early version of his latest album “Logos” leaked all over the internet. Some harsh words were thrown out then, and even the thought of giving up on Logos all together was mentioned. Luckily for all of us, he soon relinquished the idea and such Logos has finally been completed,…
The Dead Weather’s debut, the Nashville all-star quartet comprised of White Stripes’ frontman Jack White, the Kills’ Alison Mosshart, Raconteurs bassist Jack Lawrence, and Queens of the Stone Age’s Dean Fertita, is set for its official release next week, slowly bringing the excitement of thousands of intrigued fans to an end. This seeing how we’ve all been terribly keen to see (more like hear) how this project will turn out, ever since the first announcements…
Make yourselves a favour, and before starting to read this article, go to JJ’s MySpace and listen to his songs while reading the following interview. They’re really good pop songs. Just as You! like them. And while listening, go through this article and read about his music, his future plans, when he plans on releasing his next album and so many more, including his hot party track list and his favourite bands. Zme: „If we…
Whoa this some day for music folks! Members from Led Zeppelin, Foo Fighters and Queens of the Stone Age teamed up and are already working on a new album, and definitely not one to be snubbed. Although some speculations have been made for quite a while (perhaps with some small variations), this became official actually thanks to a ‘marital indiscretion’. Yes, you can easily guess it’s Homme’s wife that leaked. Brody Dalle, also playing in…
Topping this week’s Box Office, the second installment in the Transformers franchise, “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen,” is one hell of a blockbuster. Being a big Transformers fan myself since the early cartoon days, I just couldn’t have left the theater not loving it, although I have to admit I kinda prefer the first one. If you saw it too, chances have it you weren’t just impressed by it’s multitude of stunning visuals, but also…
Almost a month ago me and Andrei invaded Barcelona and painted the town red during our 3 days stay, when we even got to see AC/DC play live at the Estadio Olimpico de Lluis Company. Chances had it, though, that we weren’t able to prolong our stay a few more weeks so we might squeeze in another incredible concert, this time of literally epic proportions – last night’s U2 gig in Barcelona. The concert was…
