This seems like a great week for indie and punk acts, with new records from the likes of Be Your Own Pet, The Kills, The Matches, The Hush Sound or The A.K.A.s. The most interesting release of this week, however, is the self titled record from recently publicized Yael Naim. She gained a lot of recognition and fame when her lead single New Hope got featured on the new Macbook Air Apple ad. Other notable…
One of last year’s most anticipated hip-hop releases 8 Diagrams from behalf of the legendary Wu-Tang Clan, left a lot of people disappointed, not because it was trash or anything, but because it was down right mediocre and didn’t deliver little to no real beats. This was probably the album’s main setback: beats, a department that clan leader RZA has always mastered well, as it can clearly be seen on “You Can’t Stop Me Now,”…
Although the previous news about Weezer’s sixth album was not true, even the title Tout Ensemble was fake, that doesn’t mean the band won’t ever release the record. Actually frontman Rivers Cuomo just announced that the band has just finished recordings on the album and that it should be out in June. No word however on its title or other particular details, apart from the fact that Rivers described it as “meaty, crunchy and melodic”.What…
Sheryl Crow made an announcement that thrilled music lovers throughout the world: she will join forces with Fleetwood Mac! The legendary rock band hasn’t been on the road for ages and probably this colaboration is going to be just the energy injection they need to get them going. “I don’t want to make any official announcements, but I will say that we definitely have plans for collaborating in the future, and we’ll see what happens,”…
Well we’ve been awaiting for them to make their move for quite a while, but the wait has not been in vain. According to Daily Star, Arctic Monkeys are going to release their third album this year. This would be their third album in just three years, quite a remarkable performance.Alex Turner and co. are believed to be busy recording in their London studio the follow-up to ‘Favourite Worst Nightmare’, which would complete their hattrick….
Last week(March 2), Nine Inch Nails shocked the scene, when they released their latest instrumental album “Ghosts: I-IV,” completely out of the blue and most importantly for free, to a certain extent of course. The first volume, out of four, was given out for free, while the complete record was put out in various formats, both digital and physical, ranging from 5$ to 300$ (the deluxe edition with uber NIN merc). Now one week later,…
Apparently the Brazilians from CSS have taken over the YouTube airwaves with a homemade video of their song “Music Is My Hot Hot Sex,” made by a fan, which has just recently cumulated just over 100 million views on the popular video social network. If the figures prove to be correct, then it means the video is clearly the most viewed upon in YouTube’s history, surpassing the previous record holder, Evolution of Dance, by over…
Probably the funniest things I’ve stumbled upon these days are once again music related, and once again we have youtube to thank, as well as the users who uploaded and created the videos. Have you ever wondered what are WOW characters doing when they’re not fighting to take over the world (or whatever it is they’re fighting for… I’m not a fan)? They sure can groove? What? You don’t believe it? Here’s the proof! The…
Iron Maiden have made a powerful, epic comeback and they’re riding hard and fast, keeping the headlines quite often. After buying a jet, planning a tour and releasing ‘Live after Death’, now they’re after new, younger fans who have yet to listen to the metal titans. How will they do this? Wait! Lemme guess… they’ll put a record up for free download? That’s what seems to be the greatest thing these days, so that’s what…
It’s a Radiohead frenzy mates! They do absolutely nothing for years and years and then they just go and go and go and you just have to talk them. After just yesterday we told you that they’re gonna play a free gig, and a few days ago we let you in on how to ‘Radiohead’ an album, now they’ve launched Nude as the next single from their In Rainbows album. Whatsmore, it will be backed…
