A lot of people had high hopes, that the shoegazing Irish innovator of [tag]My Bloody Valentine[/tag], would make a stop at this year’s Coachella festival. However, the band apparently wasn’t able to attend, leaving a lot of North American fans disheartened, as well as leaving some flat broke, as a trip to a European festival is by no means a picnic. Although MBV hasn’t added any North American dates, since our last update about their…
The new video, for the pop punk quartet’s latest single, “Always Be,” is set in a Museum, where the band unleashes it’s prehistorical rocking, as two lovers stray from a guided tour. Always be is part of [tag]Jimmy Eat World[/tag]’s latest record Chase This Light, out now.
I’ve always had loads of fun with [tag]Foo Fighters[/tag]’ videos, packed with a lot of humor, next to some hard rocking. The initial video for “Long Road To Ruin,” was no exception, managing to crack me up on each play. I guess there’s something about Dave Grohl, that make the Foos video magic and funny as hell. Anyway the fun train hasn’t stopped yet and a alternate version of the video was posted recently, this…
A lot of rumors floated around last year that, alt-rock legends of the 90’s Mark Lanegan and Greg Dulli would join forces and form a new band. Previous collaborations between each of the two’s musical projects, made it very likely and back in September 2007, the two announces that they’ve completed recording their debut album, under the moniker of The Gutter Twins. “Idle Hands” is the group’s first single and it sure does sound sweet,…
The 50th edition of the famous Grammy Awards is just one month away and for the their performance, the alt-powerhouse of [tag]Foo Fighters[/tag] have something special in mind. Meaning they’ve partnered with YouTube to launch a fan contes in which contenders will have to upload a 60 second video that consists of them covering The Pretender with orchestral instruments. That means no guitar, no bass, no drums just string, woodwind and brass players are invited…
The legendary Athenian alt-rock trio of [tag]R.E.M.[/tag] have recently announced the title and release date of their forthcoming 14th LP. According to Billboard the album, recorded in Vancouver and Dublin and produced by Jacknife Lee, will be titled “Accelerate”, and should be out on April 1.

Artist name: Rivers Cuomo Album name: Alone Label: Geffen Gender: Alternative/Geek Rock Release date: December 18, 2007 ZMErating: 8/10 Website: http://www.riverscuomo.com/ As the frontman for the cult phenomenon band [tag]Weezer[/tag], Rivers Cuomo has always managed to form a pop eccentric image and most of all a dictatorial presence in the band, as it’s widely known he says what goes and what doesn’t in the geek group. He’s a perfectionist in nature, proved by the fact…
Recently we had the chance to have, a really short but concise, e-mail conversation with Jeff Stinco, the lead guitarist from Montreal based punk-pop quintet [tag]Simple Plan[/tag]. We pondered Jeff with a few questions, about the band’s new album, sound, new video and their upcoming 2008 tour and he was gracious enough to give some interesting answers.
[tag]Art Brut[/tag] and its sophomore release, It’s A Bit Complicated, have certainly been one of my favorites this year, but I was really blown away when I started watching their live gigs on the telly and on the web. I myself haven’t ever attended in person one of their live shows, but apparently the band are making it possible for me to finally see them in the flesh, as they’ve announced the venues and dates…
Ok, we admit, we got rick rolled. Apparently the highly publicized albumsix.com website that has sprung up news alleging [tag]Weezer[/tag] will be releasing its sixth album, is all a big lie, hoax, banana oil, bunco, con or plain old bull****. The dudes behind the website admitted they never believed things would go so far and expected the band’s official to close their mouths, but nothing happened. A few days ago they debunked Weezer’s new album,…
