Although he’s been under some heavy critique lately, especially after that little Norwegian Wood incident, Josh Homme is still a more then capable artist, and last year’s Era Vulgaris more then proves that. However, QOTSA isn’t the only thing keeping him busy, as his garage side project with Jesse Hughes, Eagles of Death Metal, is prepping to release a new album in October. Those familiar with the band know the band shines with devilish eccentricity,…
The cover art for Oasis’s upcoming album, Dig Out Your Soul, out October 7th Well, the last news I expected from Oasis right now was concerning their upcoming album. I mean, I was certain we’d hear something of a response from Noel Gallagher, regarding the whole Jay-Z/Oasis dissing from a few days. Anyway, I’m glad the band has somewhat abandoned their publicity whoring, for a while at least, and concentrated on what really matters: music….
In a recent press release the Icelandic post rockers Sigur Ros have disclosed a significant deal of details, concerning the band’s upcoming album. Apparently their fifth full studio album “Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust,” which in English would translate to “With a buzz in our ears we play endlessly,” will land in record store’s shelves some time in late June. To be more exact, the follow-up to 2005’s Takk comes out in the…
I just had to post this! I can barely type from all the laughing. Apparently the above photo is the actual cover art for Lil Wayne’s latest upcoming album Carter III. The new record from the New Orleans rapper will land on May 13th via Universal. Who here also loled ?
Things are definetly heating up around Def Leppard, as they have already released the artwork for their new album, “Songs From The Sparkle Lounge”. This is going to be their 14th (!) album, and promises a lot already. It’s set for April 29, containing 11 new songs. I found out how the cover for the album is going to look after reading the folowing statement, which appeared on the band’s official website: “After previously presenting…
We all had loads of fun with [tag]Snoop Dogg[/tag]’s previous retro funk take, Sensual Seduction, now it’s time to listen to his latest single called “Neva Hafta Worry,” a last sample before the release of his ninth studio album titled “Ego Trippin’.” In Neva Hafta Worry Snoop abandons the disco funk (more please) for a slow burner, as he reminds us that he’s been in the game for 15 years, “and I’m [he’s] still relevant.”…
Few artists can release five ‘best of’ compilations and actually get away with it, but if you’re name is [tag]Morrissey[/tag] you’re not just ‘any artist’, as his latest and sixth compilation record “Greatest Hits” is set for a early February release. The best of mostly includes hits from his post ’00s albums, like “You Are the Quarry” or “Ringleader of the Tormentors,” some tunes from the ol’ Smith days and also two bran new tracks…
Back in autumn we introduced you to [tag]Goldfrapp[/tag]’s new forthcoming forth album “Seventh Tree,” set for release on February 25. I gave it a few premature spins and can say that it sounds quite great, a bit different from what Alison Goldfrapp and the group that shares her last name used to perform in the past, but still retaining that mellow pop extravaganza, that made the group so big. Seventh Tree’s first single is A…
Athens, Georgia garage rock band The Whigs, came under my radar 1 year ago, when the southern duo, back then a trio, were featured on Rolling Stone as “possibly the best unsigned band in America.” A righteous claim I might add, considering they’re surprisingly talented, mixing a blend of late 60’s garage rock and contemporary indie music. Time passed and they eventually got signed by ATO Records, that helped re-release their initial interdependently recorded debut…
Well whoever said that [tag]The Mars Volta[/tag] music is “puzzling” is oh so right, especially when the Long Beach, CA based band, recently put out a brain challenging puzzle on their website. The puzzle is made out of 16 blocks, all forming the cover art for TMV’s forthcoming 2008 studio album “The Bedlam in Goliath,” the type where you have to move a block one at a time. Yeah I know it’s really frustrating. If…
