Not sure who to see? Here a few artists to check out on the Saturday of Live at Leeds Festival! Man Like Me Do you remember that quirky IKEA advert that went on about parties in kitchens? Well, you may recognise these guys and their vocals from precisely that. Man Like Me are a North London trio of absolutely wacky music and although it sounds like they can’t really be bothered, their mix of…
There is no doubt that alternative rock fans are in mourning after hearing of Chi Cheng’s passing. The former Deftones bassist passed away today of currently unknown causes. Cheng was in a very serious car accident in November 2008 and sustained nearly fatal injuries. Four and a half years later, Cheng never fully recovered. He has remained in a semi conscious state for years and has fought through many complications. While he was able to emerge from his…
Source Paramore is not actually one of my favorite bands, but I love Hayley’s hair, kind of reminds me of Cindy Lauper. And the video also is kind of cute with a childish theme. The song is from the band’s 4th LP, self-titled, and it was actually released yesterday, on 8th April, and it is going yo be officially released as a single on 20th May. It seems that this Spring…
Enter Shikari – The Paddington Frisk Enter Shikari just released a new video for the song The Paddington Frisk, which can be followed at the bottom of the article. The band was actually formed in 2003 and plays something like British post-hardcore, in a combination with heavy metal and alternative, anyway, maybe this sounds a little bit too much but I assure you that they are making a really great job….
Five of the bands I am most looking forward to at Live At Leeds, the city music festival taking place over May Bank Holiday…for the price of what, 4 pints in London? 1975 Huw Stevens, Zane Lowe and Fearne Cotton all love The City by 1975, and I am inclined to agree that as upbeat summer struts go, it’s not at all bad. Now let’s find some summer. Little Comets Thundering slaps, wailing and whirring, jangling guitars and pots…
After 12 years and 4 studio albums, My Chemical Romance announce the end of the band, in a blog post. It all started with some rumors, which were then denied, MCR claiming to be working on a new album, but now, this gets posted on their blog: Being in this band for the past 12 years has been a true blessing. We’ve gotten to go places we never knew we would. We’ve been able to…
30 Seconds to Mars will be back with a new album pretty soon – May 20 to be more exact. ‘Love Lust Faith + Dreams’ is the name, and Jared Leto is the game; not only will he be fronting the band, but he’s also producing it, alongside Steve Lillywhite. “This is more than an evolution, it’s a brand new beginning. Creatively, we’ve gone to an entirely new place, which is exciting, unexpected, and incredibly…
If you thought the Green Day frontman was going through a rough patch then… think again! Billie Joe Armstrong is preparing to is return to the theater by writing new music for a Yale Repertory Theater adaptation of Shakespeare. Apparently, he’s working on These Paper Bullets, a rock adaptation of the Bard’s Much Ado About Nothing – a story about a band from Liverpool moving to London, with lots of drama, love, good and bad…
Forget about “Harlem Shake”. The Danish trio New Politics is turning heads with their new single “Harlem”. Spring break is here, for some collegiate Americans at least. If you are a like me, your spring break does not start until next week. Hopefully you will be on a beach somewhere or hitting the slopes with your friends. Wherever you are, there is no reason that you should be victim of…
Origin: Manchester, England The 1975 were one of the best new bands of 2012, and are now certainly ones to watch for 2013! The boys create a blend of British indie and alternative rock, and do it very well. Being from Manchester, like many other bands, you’d already expect them to be quite similar to other acts, however this band are able to be distinguished and cut out from all the rest – genre is…
