As we were telling you a while ago, Opeth are in the studio, heavily working on a ‘more sinister’ album – frontman Mikael Akerfeldt shared some fresh details regarding their new work, explaining that it is “all over the place”. “I have eight songs written and the direction is going straight into the territory of ‘all over the place!'” he kicked off with a laugh. Versatility and raw skill have always been a significant part…
Paul Paul McCartney. The cute Beatle. The wrinkly face of British music. One of the most recognisable men on the planet. He’s moving onto dance music? The Bloody Beetroots (Italian Dance musician Sir Conelius Rifo) is set to release a track called Out Of Sight on the 18th June. McCartney features on the track, blaring out his classic old style vocals. Has Paul gone too far now? After 50 years of the Beatles, Wings, and…
City and Colour may have emerged onto the music scene as a small side project from Ontario native, Dallas Green, but with three platinum albums and a history of performing alongside alt-rock heavyweights like Neil Young, it’s hard for this “hipstered-out” Clark Kent to stay out of the limelight. Back in 2005, the former Alexisonfire vocalist released a solo LP entitled Sometimes. This was one of the first times Green had truly ever showcased his abilities as…
Five of the bands I am most looking forward to at Live At Leeds, the city music festival taking place over May Bank Holiday…for the price of what, 4 pints in London? 1975 Huw Stevens, Zane Lowe and Fearne Cotton all love The City by 1975, and I am inclined to agree that as upbeat summer struts go, it’s not at all bad. Now let’s find some summer. Little Comets Thundering slaps, wailing and whirring, jangling guitars and pots…
There’s been a lot of discussion about the upcoming posthumous Jimi Hendrix album “People, Hell And Angels” – and I know I’ve been really holding my breath working for it. Now, we can listen to the first song, simply called “Somewhere”. Go ahead, listen to it. This is classic Jimi, classic drenched guitar sound, classic solo – it’s got it all! Also, the bass from Stephen Stills is just spot on. After listening to it…
Coldplay are working hard in the studio, preparing their next album – one with a title that you can actually pronounce. Their last album, ‘Mylo Xyloto’, caused quite a stir among fans, with some claiming that “you can’t even google it”. They didn’t offer many details about it though. When pushed by presenters Kyle and Jackie O to reveal if they had come up with a name for their sixth studio album, Chris Martin only…
Former Skid Row singer announced he is currently working on a project which will “revolutionize popular music as we know it”. He made the announcement on his facebook page. Seriously, now? At this point of musical evolution, you’d hardly expect anyone to revolutionize music, let alone Sebastian Bach, who, albeit being crazy talented and quite lovable, is not quite the innovative type. He gave no other indications about this “top secret project”, so we’ll just…
Roger Waters announced plans to release a new concept album called “Heartland”. As usual, Mr. Waters hasn’t gone into many details about the album, but he did mention something very interesting… “I’ll tell you what the first line is – I haven’t told anyone else, and I may be sticking my head too far above the parapet,” said Waters, “but the first line is, ‘If I had been God…'” Oh wow, gee, you know that…
Aside from working on his major side project called How to Destroy Angels, Trent Raznor is also involved in videogame music (for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2), headphone partnerships, movies (worked on The Social Network and The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo)- but that still doesn’t stop him from working on a new Nine Inch Nails album. In early 2009, he and the band announced they were embarked on a 20th anniversary farewell tour,…
In case you might not remember, Atoms for Peace is a supergroup which consists of Radiohead’s Thom York, Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers, longtime Radiohead producer Nigel Godrich, Joey Waronker and Mauro Refosco. XL Records made a big bubu and published details about the album, something apparently they didn’t want to do. Thankfully, several fans took screenshots before they took it down, and sent it to us. Now, not only do we have a…
