Go Around Captain ‘Everything I Own Is Nicked’ is the debut EP from Preston based band Go Around Captain. Since September 2013, Go Around Captain have gained a reputation and local respect in the north west of England for their explosive, energetic live shows. The band already has an impressive repertoire of bands they have played alongside including ‘This Town Needs Guns’ and ‘Victor Villarreal’ (formally of Cap’n Jazz.) The guitars on…
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…
Last night, Thom Yorke and Nigel Godrich delivered an Atoms for Peace BBC Essential Mix. Their two hour work was right on the spot, featuring songs from Yorke and Radiohead, plus Aphex Twin, DOOM, Steve Reich, Oneohtrix Point Never, Diplo, and several others. We’re unable to embed the mix here, but you should definitely check it out on BBC’s page – be prepared for two hours of numbingly good experimental music. Atoms for Peace are…
Atoms for peace is definitely one of the hottest good bands of the moment. The band, featuring Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, Flea from RHCP and producer Nigel Godrich will be played a series of shows throughout Europe. The tour will culminate with three shows played in consecutive days in London. Here are the dates: So far, the only Stateside set any Atoms For Peace affiliates have planned is Yorke and Godrich’s DJ booth appearance at Le…
If ‘Sacrilege’ is anything, then it’s a return to the roots. Listening to it made me feel very close to the band’s early days, when the alternative trio made (if you ask me) their best music. After all, Karen O promised us a more rough-and-ready followup, similar in tone to their debut: “It’s extremely lo-fi,” Karen O told Pitchfork last month of the band’s latest effort, Mosquito. “We had a shitty drum machine, a shitty…
Trent Raznor has announced that Nine Inch Nails will return this summer, and there’s some good news, and some bad news. Bad news is former Alessandro Cortini and Ilan Rubin will be leaving the band. The good news is, their place will be taken by Eric Avery of Jane’s Addiction, Adrian Belew of King Crimson and Josh Eustis of Telefon Tel Aviv. Raznor put the band on hold in 2009, mostly so he could focus…

After 16 years, Brendan Perry and Lisa Gerrard decided to get back together, and combine they’re experience gained through all off this years of great work, to release a much awaited album. Dead can Dance – Anastasis Next Dead can Dance’s album it’s called Anastasis, and has eight tracks: Children of the Sun – 7:33 Anabasis – 6:50 Agape – 6:54 Amnesia – 6:36 Kiko – 8:01 Opium – 5:44 Return…
Let me tell you – this album is bizarre. REALLY bizarre. it’s a pop-opera based on a crazy novel about Atlantis from the late 1800s, with a style that mixes up hundreds of musical sub-genres in each song. Each individual element seems too far-fetched to enjoy, but when combined something wonderful and twisted is created. Speaking of the combined pieces, Pepe Deluxé describe themselves as “an inter-continental orchestra,” but the two “conductors” of this orchestra are…
Tom Waits’ newest album, Bad As Me, feels like a nice change from boring ol’ Rock & Roll. In fact, it’s everything but! As one goes from track to track, there’s soul, jazz, folk, some Spanish-sounding ballads, and more. Tom Waits has always been a versatile artist, and he sure shows it on his newest offering. Take the opening track, “Chicago.” It feels like the studio engineer hit “record” just a few seconds after the band…
