For as long as I can remember The Breeders have been subjected to unworthy ignorance and ill recognition of their efforts. Truth is people don’t know what they’ve been missing all these years, seeing as this alternative quartet has been coughing up quality, magical pieces of music since 1988. Odds are, that Mountain Battles, the band’s latest album, will suffer the same lack of appreciation, which is too bad considering how many great moments there…
My favorite record for this week is clearly Anthony Gonzales,’ or M83 as he’s better know, fifth LP “Saturdays = Youth.” I’ve always been fascinated by the way he masterfully mixes electronic and shoegazing elements, that gave as result some wonderful eclectic ambient music. Then there’s of course one of our recent favorites Tristan Prettyman, and her latest sophomore release “Hello…x.” Also another album worth picking up this week, is the latest LP from the…
Judas Priest’s much-anticipated new album, “Nostradamus” will be released in Germany on June 13 via Sony/BMG, on June 15 in the rest of Europe and June 17 in North America. It promises to be really something; aside from the music it will be delivered in a ewel case, as a deluxe digibook and as a special box set containing the new album on three LPs, a 48-page book and a poster. But fans are concerned…
In a completely shocking move (really that shocking?), Green Day have revealed that they are in fact, Foxboro Hot Tubs. We told you about some “speculation” a while back, but it was obvious that they were Green Day. The band added: “We think that the only similarity [between the Hot Tubs and Green Day] is that we are the same band. That is basically the only similarity, We are Jason White, Jason Freese, Michael Pritchard,…
Artist name: Tristan Prettyman Album name: Hello…x Label: Virgin Gender: Acoustic Rock Release date: April 15, 2008 ZMErating: 9/10 Website: www.tristanprettyman.com I have been dying to review this album because I am such a big fan and I’ve been waiting for this release for eons, so pardon me if this review gets slightly biased. Hello…x is Tristan’s 2nd studio album, following twentythree, which was released in 2005. When I got this album it’s not been…
Winwood seems off and running lately, with an opening slot on the Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers tour this summer to boot. But today we’ve got a treat for all you old school blues fans, as the following video features two legends, former Blind Faith colleagues singer-songwriter Steve Winwood and guitar master Eric Clapton. “Dirty City” is the first single off of Steve Winwood’s latest solo record, in which he partners with his old brother…
Coldplay, the famous British soft-hard-rock-pop-eclectic quartet, have just recently taken to the interwebs and revealed their latest album’s tracklist and, of course, title. The new record will be called “Viva la Vida,” most probably influenced by their stay in Barcelona, where they recorded the album and will contain just 10 tracks. The groups forth studio effort was set to be initially titled “Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends,” but luckily (for all…
The Californian punk quartet, The Offspring, have just revealed to their eagerly awaiting fans, that they’ve finally manged to finish recording their latest studio effort “Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace,” the band’s first album in five years, since the 2003 Splinter. “After over a year of recording, I’m happy to announce that we are finishing up our CD this week. We’ve worked really hard on this and I think it’s some of the best…
Yes, you’ve read it right folks, Prince has been added to this year’s Coachella lineup, as a Saturday (4/26) headline, joining other acts like Breeders, Portishead, MMJ, Kraftwerk, or Roger Waters. When he’s not suing fans, his royal majesty, Prince, actually makes some music. To be honest I pretty much despise Prince for all that he represents, but while it’s clear I’m not anywhere near being a fan, I have to admit he’s a great…
