Already a big star in Oceania, where she went multi-platinum in New Zealand and gained a huge fan base in Australia, the highly talented Brooke Fraser is now set to bring her heartfelt music across the ocean, in North America. Her latest critically acclaimed album, “Albertine,” was highly influenced by her travels around the world, in Africa, Europe and Asia, as her music incorporates a very wide array of styles and motives, fact most evident…
With the band’s new album, “Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends” right on the corner, it was righteously expected Coldplay would soon announce their tour dates. And so they’ve had, at least the initial North American ones. The band is set to play through the whole summer and much of autumn in the US and Canada, as part of their massive world tour planned that will see Coldplay play in 4 continents…

Today some sad news struck most life long Police fans, as the band announced earlier this evening, that they’ll soon hold their final concert, ever.

Artist name: R.E.M. Album name: Accelerate Label: Warner Bros Gender: Rock/Alternative Release date: April 1, 2008 ZMErating: 9/10 Website: www.remhq.com I used to love R.E.M.! Despite the fact that I never bought that ‘best band in the whole world’ crap, they were good; they were more than good, they were fantastic!

This alleged illness forced…
Watch out people, it’s hypocrisy time! At least that’s what my spider sense tells me. When I first read that Radiohead were going green, I thought it’s great stuff. When I read further what going green means for them… my jaw dropped like Britney Spears’ image. They’ve decided not to travel to the US for a promotional performance because of concerns over global warming. Sure, that will really work for their blinded fans and screaming…
