New Justice video: ‘Phantom Pt. II’ (unofficial cut)
Just a month after we unveiled the French duo’s video for Phantom Pt. I”, another version of the video has popped out, this time directed by Daniel Bloomberg. The video is a bit weird to say the least featuring a lot of sugary spice girls hanging around a cafeteria, quietly enjoying their meal, until a shadowy demonic presence made its appearance. In the end it all turns out just to be a directed food fight….

Queen + Paul Rodgers: New Album Details
Andrei Mihai
When I read about this, two ideas slammed into the walls of my brain: “great” and “blasphemy”. I mean, Queen without Freddie is like a party without booze, yet who wouldn’t go to such a gig, even just to hear Brian May do his thing? Now don’t get me wrong, I have absolutely nothing against Paul Rodgers… he’s great! But filling the shoes of a man who undoubtely was among the best frontmen in the…

The emo-witch hunt in Mexico: emo kids get bashed across the country!
In the last few days a wave of violence has swept the Mexican state, aimed at a subculture of Mexican youth going by the label of emo. This all started about two weeks ago in, the otherwise quiet, colonial capital of Queretaro, when mobs of people attacked groups of emos, in an attempt to force them out of the city’s main plaza. The movement soon spread to the nation’s capital of Mexico City, when emos…
New Gutter Twins video: ‘All Misery/Flowers’
Greg Dulli and Mark Lanegan’s latest joint effort The Gutter Twins proved to be quite successful; with two grunge stars what could go wrong the first place anyway? Saturnalia, the duo’s debut LP got a lot of attention and positive critical feedback, receiving a lot of praise for their grungy, shit kicking tracks, like the first single Idle Hands. However, TGT’s latest single “All Misery/Flowers,” strays away from their usual hard rocking pattern towards more…
Download: Flat Duo Jets – ‘Rawhide’
The rockabilly duo that formed the ’80s cult act Flat Duo Jets is clearly one of the most underrated bands in rock’n’roll history. The blue-garage duo paved the way for similar bands and influenced a great deal of artists through out the ’90 and 2000’s like R.E.M. or Catpower or the most clear example The White Stripes. Sadly the band disbanded in the late ’90s, but fans can finally rejoice at hearing new material from…

Beck, Wilco, Devendra Banhart expand the Outside Lands lineup
Last month we were thrilled to announce a three band long lineup of the new west coast San Francisco Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival. The band announced were Radiohead, Tom Petty, and Jack Johnson. Solid headliners indeed, but not quite enough for a three day long festival. Thus Beck, Wilco, Widespread Panic and Devendra Banhart lead the new additions to the lineup, as the San Fracisco guest lists gets expanded with over 20 acts,…
