Biffy Clyro have recently announced the support acts playing on their UK and Irish tour and more dates for later in the year which will see the band travel across Europe. Although initially the support was announced as Welsh rockers Future Of The Left this is now not the case due to unforeseen circumstances. The band will now be supported by Leeds lads Pulled Apart…

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen – The Album

Album name: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen – The Album Artist name: Various Genre: Soundtrack Released: July 13 2009 Label: Reprise ZME Rating: N/A Website: transformersmovie.com/ I would love to give this CD a horrible review. I’d really, genuinely enjoy ripping apart its poxy devotion to dated post-grunge sludge rock. Or better yet, going on a bloodthirsty, rampaging rant about how the Transformers franchise as a whole has gone from being a treasured reminder of…

Yo La Tengo releases new song and goes on tour

I think “Popular Songs,” Hobokon’s Yo La Tengo twelfth album, is probably on everybody’s wish list by now, and if the September 8th release date sounds a bit too distant, here’s a tasty appetizer to quencher your thirst for good music. Bellow you can stream and download Yo La Tengo’s latest single “Here to Fall,” a very elaborate track, filled with string arrangements and acid groove. [MP3] Yo La Tengo – ‘Here to Fall’ Also,…

Hot Streaming: Pearl Jam – ‘The Fixer’

The first single off Pearl Jam’s new, upcoming album “Backspacer” premiered on the radio waves yesterday and it’s already received an incredible amount of exposure. If you haven’t heard it yet, the single is streamed bellow via YouTube. I for one think it’s an awesome tune! It’s catchy, fun and Eddie is in top notch form. Personally, I’ve had enough of Iraqi wars, politics and gas prices Pearl Jam whining, and The Fixer does well…

Arctic Monkeys map North American tour

Next month the highly anticipated third installment in the Sheffield rockers’ catalog, “Humbug,” is due – as such, yet another blazing Arctic Monkeys tour is on the horizon. The album’s production was handled by QOTSA’s Josh Homme and Mobile Disco’s James Ford, and it seems to mark a departure from the Monkeys’ signature sound with which we’ve grown so fondly of. It’s a lot more psychedelic, more marsh and, above all, more adventurous. Yes, this…

New The Dead Weather video: ‘Treat Me Like Your Mother’

Yeah! Girls, think twice before asking of a man like Jack White to treat you like his mother. First, it’s plain weird, I mean what woman would want to babysit a full, grown-man (don’t answer this. We’re guilty enough as it is). Secondly, because he might bust a cap in your ass, as the new video for “Treat Me Like Your Mother” off The Dead Weather’s upcoming debut plainly shows. Quite the automatic showdown between…

U2 kicks off the massive 360 tour in Barcelona with a bang!

Almost a month ago me and Andrei invaded Barcelona and painted the town red during our 3 days stay, when we even got to see AC/DC play live at the Estadio Olimpico de Lluis Company. Chances had it, though, that we weren’t able to prolong our stay a few more weeks so we might squeeze in another incredible concert, this time of literally epic proportions – last night’s U2 gig in Barcelona. The concert was…
