Well holding a super rock group together can definetly be a challenge, especially when you’ve got Scott Weiland there. To be quite frank, it’s a surprise for me that they lasted so long together. But now, pressure’s starting: The Stone Temple Pilots are planning a reunion tour, Slash is preparing a new solo release, and many other things. Anyway, Scott Weiland stunned fans at last Thursday’s (March 20) VR concert in Glasgow, Scotland, UK by…
Well to tell you the truth I can’t imagine what it was like decades ago, when blues singers went into juke joints and sang their lungs and fingers off, for food and something to drink, or for very few cash in the fortunate cases. Anyway, the feel and groove must have been fantastic; and who knows this better than B.B. King? To celebrate those days, he bought Club Ebony in Indianola, which has been owned…
What better way to start off the week, then a fresh does of new music? In this week folks is pretty darn impressive to say the least. Firstly we have Jack White’s The Raconteurs who’ve suddenly and out of the blue released their sophomore LP “Consolers Of The Lonely.” Then there’s the pop rock veterans The B-52’s and their eight studio album “Funplex.” Another very interesting release comes from Counting Crows as they unveil their…
mr. Gnome (notice the lower cased ‘m’) is a emerging Cleveland duo, that’s been getting some pretty high profile attention lately and righteously so. Their style is a bit hard to center, ranging from art rock, to pure punk, to some kind of prog metal, but whatever label their music might carry these two are definitely a talented bunch. On May 6th, after two well received EPs, mr. Gnome will release their much awaited debut…
To celebrate their forthcoming Canada tour, the southern cal’ hard rockers Queens of the Stone Age, are set to release a “Limited Tour Edition” of last year’s ZME top 10 albums Era Vulgaris. The track will feature some awesome live versions of Era Vulgaris songs, as well as some of the band’s pre-Vulgaris songs. There’s one catch to it though: it’s only available in Canada upon its release on April 15. I guess it’s a…
Well this most definetly isn’t a title your average rock band will fight for and I’m not sure it’s something you should take pride in. You don’t wanna fall into the trap of becoming all mushy and stuff. So how come they beat Coldplay to get this title? To get the answet to that, you should just listen to the countless music scribes who can’t get through a profile piece on the act without mentioning…
When I heard Porcupine Tree were going to release this mini-album of 4 tracks and 28:44 minutes, I thought it was going to be great. I was right. Since they’ve signed up with Roadrunner Records they’ve made wonders and achieved the success they deserved so much. Roadrunner are notoriously good at getting their acts out there and we’re happy to see such a great colaboration. About ‘Nil Recurring’ there is a lot to be said;…
Now don’t get ahead of yourself there! We all know Bono made some admirable charity acts and we give him praise for that. But sometimes, even the best of us have to suffer! Here’s what happened in one of their shows: At a recent U2 concert in Glasgow, Scotland, he asked the audience for total quiet. Then, in the silence, he started to slowly clap his hands, once every few seconds. Holding the audience in…
Although Led Zep’s first impressions on the already famous O2 gig, Robert Plant made an announcement that shocked and saddened rockers from all over the world: Led Zep will not tour! But… things are not nailed! Cause according to bassist Duff McKagan, Velvet Revolver are the number one choice to open for Led Zeppelin, if the band announce a world tour. Wait a sec! They haven’t confirmed anything official! Here’s what the man has to…
For their latest single, the Portland synthpop duo Chromatics, have chosen to make a more darker and creepier video, then those with which they’ve accustomed us with; definitively much more creepier. The video in cause is for the haunting instrumental “Killing Spree,” off of the band’s last year effort “Night Drive”, in which director Johnny Jewel has done a remarkable job at capturing the song’s creepy, haunting vibe on the tube, YouTube actually (bad joke,…
