Today, Bon Iver will kick off his 2008 tour in South Carolina, a tour that’s set to span across three months and 2 parts. First, a US tour through out the whole month of August, then a European tour that will see Justin Vernon (Bon Iver) perform in such places like Dublin, Paris, London, Oslo, Copenhagen and many other beautiful cities. Tour dates and two awesome MP3s right after the jump.
It seems [tag]The Who[/tag] may embark on a tour, of unclear proportions, soon. Lead singer, Roger Daltrey, has expressed his intentions of permanently dissolving the band on multiple occasions and this seems like it will be the last tour the band will ever perform in. So, if you want to see one of the greatest and influential rock’n’roll band in history playing live, this might quite possibly be your last chance. So far only two…
The New York post-punk revivalist trio, Liars, dazzled us with their latest full length, self-titled album, from last year. Now Angus Andrew and co. are back with a new release, this time with a digital EP, in the form of the “Freak Out EP,” available on Mute July 8, 2008. Besides the track titled Freak Out, you won’t find any new songs in the whole tracklist, that numbers six items. The rest are either live…
The punk pioneers are back, and they’re here to stay for good. Since their tumultuous reunion, The Sex Pistols have stirred up the contemporary punk scene a great deal and have managed to influx a dose of retro, still fresh pure punk rock to their fans. This of course has left the band’s followers asking for more and seeing how Johnny Rotten and co. have always been considerate about their fans, they’ve decided to go…

Now the band will be on the road from june to December and their set to add even more. Busy, busy times for Chris Martin and crew. During this time they’ll also play two free gigs,…
Anathema pleased us all again when they announced that they have finished the “Hindsight” album – it’s already been sent to the record company by the masters. As you may (and should have) heard, “Hindsight” is a semi acoustic album of classic Anathema tracks, and includes one new song. They made this public (or at least I read it) at metalstorm.ee. Also, their new album, “Horizons”, is well underway. What surprised me was that they…
The Finnish quartet has delighted us once again with another great video: “I Don’t Care”. This time, they worked with Three Days Grace frontman Adam Gontier, which also appears in the clip. The video can be watched here. But if you think this is the only thing they’ve been up to, you’re really wrong. They enlisted the help of Fuel frontman Toryn Green to handle the lead vocals for their North American tour, which began…
I wouldn’t dare to guess what will really happen to Led Zep; ever since their O2 gig (actually, even before that), there have been all sort of rumors and “certainties” surrounding the band. At first, a tour seemed almost certain, and it was set for September. Then the word was out that Led Zep will not tour. After all these things, now it seems there will be some shows. Yeah, as it turns out, they’ll…
