Back in February of this year, the Baltimore dream pop duo of Beach House released what is, currently, one of the most charming indie records of 2008, in the form of “Devotion.” Now, Beach House is back again with some interesting, new music, fresh from the studio and straight into ZME. “Used To Be” is the band’s latest single, which is joined a 4-track version of the debut’s “Apple Orchard” to form one awesome 7″,…
With all this political mambo jambo flying around lately everywhere, Florida punkers Against Me! couldn’t have picked a better time to exist. In their latest video for “Borne on the FM Waves of the Heart” Against Me frontman, Tom Gabel duets with Tegan Rain Quin, from the sister act Tegan and Sara, on a black and white background, whilst the rest of the band’s rocking out, more or less, uninteresting. Btw, I’d like to add…
The Killers are working hard and long prepping their third record for the highly anticipated release date of November 25, when “Day & Age” finally gets out. Last year’s rarities/B-sides box set, “Sawdust,” didn’t deliver at all and left me with a bitter taste in my mouth. I mean, it’s not that they’ve released any high-end material, really, but let’s face it they have a few good songs. “Mr. Brightside” or “When You Were Young”…
I don’t know if Noel Gallagher’s recent bump to the head affected his judgment or anything, but just recently he announced he’d like to release a solo album soon. His first one, as far as my humble knowledge is concerned (and Google’s of course). Furthermore, the Oasis singer/songwriter said he’d like all four members of the band to releasing their own stuff, as soon as their latest effort, “Dig Out Your Soul,” gets out and,…
Josh, dude, that was freaky!
Few weeks back, I told you about the new Department of Eagles album, “In Ear Park,” as well as shared a song off it. By the way, I’ve been playing that particular track, No One Does It Like You, a lot lately, in anticipation for the October 7th release date, but now I’ve been treated to even greater goodies as the duo, Fred Nicolaus and Daniel Rossen, performed “In Ear Park” live at the DUMBO…
Sometime last year I was pretty pissed off that two world shattering bands like Metallica or The Stooges didn’t make the cut for 2008’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees list. That was a bit non-cool. Anyway, it seems my lamentations were well heard and both bands, as well as Run-D.M.C., War, Wanda Jackson, Bobby Womack, Little Anthony and the Imperials, Chic, and Jeff Beck were added to the nominee list for 2009’s Half…
Hey, guys! We’ve had some great new stuff coming up these past few weeks. Artists like Metallica, Okkervil River, The Verve or BB King are just a few big names that’ve rolled out new material lately, for our auditive delight. This week, however, things are really beginning to pick up, as a swarm of high rated musicians are back/debuting with exiting new music. The Kings of Leon have always been dear to my heart ever…
There you have it folks, the first official AC/DC video in a very, very long time is finally out! “Rock N’ Roll Train” is the first single off the Aussie hard rockers’ latest album, “Black Ice,” the first in eight years. As far as the video goes, it seems like it’s been copy/pasted off the rest of the bunch, but we don’t mind it all, because the song simply rocks! You know, it has the…
Word has it Wilco are getting their groove on and will hit the studio next month to start recording a follow-up to last year’s excellent “Sky BLue Sky.” According to Billboard, the band hopes to get the new album ready for a spring release via Nonesuch. In a recent intereview, frontman Jeff Tweedy said this time around the band will take their time and will try to put out something really well produced and “allow…
