Source. The Knife – Shaking the Habitual The Knife just released a video for one of the songs, A Tooth for an Eye, from their upcoming album: Shaking the Habitual. The album is going to be out in April this year, and they already released a video for a song from the same album, Full of Fire, last month. If the first video was kind of sick and freaky, I actually…
Best soundtracks to look for in 2013
Well I have to confess that I am a huge musical movies fan, and for me a movie is often only as good as its soundtrack is. We’ve already seen how 2013 started as a good year for the music industry, so why not take a look at some great soundtracks from some promising movies. So I’ve made up a top 5 for the best soundtracks for the upcoming movies this year. 5 [caption id=”attachment_10140″…
Of Montreal Announce U.S. Spring Tour
I absolutely love Of Montreal, and they’re one of the best bands I haven’t seen live (yet) – and I probably won’t be seeing them this year because, well, I’m not American… shucks. But the band’s American fans are more lucky than me. After releasing two albums in 2012, Daughter of Cloud and Paralytic Stalks, Of Montreal are once again taking their insane live show on the road. May is the month to see, as…
Slash becomes a character in Angry Birds
Along with the new theme song and a portal to purchase Slash’s music right from Angry Birds Space, there’s another surprise for fans of the game: Slash himself will be a part of the game. The Slashbird appears in the game, along with on special edition posters and upcoming t-shirts. “One of the coolest things about being me is that people think I’d make a cool cartoon, and to be an Angry Bird was so…
Check out new Iggy and the Stooges song: Burn
Source. Iggy and the Stooges – Ready to Die Iggy and the Stooges are going to release a new album on April 30th this year: Ready to Die. This should be a follow up of Iggy’s 1973’s Raw Power, or the Stooges’s 2007’s The Weirdness (you decide). Iggy recently commented: My motivation in making any record with the group at this point is no longer personal. It’s just a pig-headed fucking…
New and upcoming artist – Disclosure
Origin: Surrey, England Disclosure are the British duo of brothers, Howard and Guy Lawrence and are definitely the one to look out for in 2013. With a mix of warm synth, deep bass and fast tapped beats, the guys recreate a vibe of future/house/garage music, but it’s definitely not something I’ve heard before. They are possibly the youngest and fastest rising DJ’s at the ages of 21 and 18 but damn, they’re good at it!…
ANNA – The Courteeners
They’re back with a third album and it’s all guitar riffs, synths, and rhyming lyrics! But what’s so different about it to the rest? Well it is quite a different approach by the boys; compared to the 2008 debut St Jude and 2010 album Falcon. Being cut from the same cloth, I guess you won’t be surprised to hear it as a combination of the style of these two albums. The album opens with a…
Slayer frontman “excited” to work with new drummer
A while ago, I was telling you about how Slayer decided to kick out drummer and founding member Dave Lombardo. It’s still not clear if the move is permanent or just for the Australian tour, but man, seeing this kind of drama in a band like Slayer is just not cool. Following this rather blurry event, Slayer frontman Tom Araya took some time to talk about the “drummer situation”. However, he did not address Lombardo’s…
Justin Timberlake and Marcus Mumford work together for new Coen brothers flick
In rather surprising news, I’ve just learned that Justin Timberlake paired up with Mumford and Sun’s leading vocalist and songwriter, Marcus Mumford, to work on the soundtrack for the latest Coen brothers movie. Now, I’ve heard of much more preposterous collaborations before, not to say I’m having great expectations out of this either. The movie itself, called Inside Llewyn Davis, is centered around the character of an aspiring folk musician amid the 1960’s bustling New York…
