It’s been 7 years since [tag]Smashing Pumpkins[/tag] last full length release, naturally i was ecstatic when i heard that , under a reformed lineup fronted by Billy Corgan, they would release a new LP. Now i find that Billy Corgan is just a money wolf, he doesn’t care about his fans financial status. What’s all this i’m talking about ? His upcoming record, to be released on the 10th of July, “Zeitgeist” is set to…

NY rockers [tag]Yeah Yeah Yeahs[/tag] have recently released the music video for the leading track, from their latest EP “Is Is”, namely “Down Boy”. The video features the YYYs performing live on a stage Down Boy. Some cool upfront riffage by lead guitarist Nick Zinner and Karen O’s sudden shifts in notes makes a good track out of Down Boy, but also makes a great video.

This is a relatively unknown festival in [tag]Sibiu[/tag]. Sibiu is an European cultural capital in Romania.

It was nice to notice that people who were foreign liked them. Maybe romanian rock has a chance; this is a step in that way and quality music is welcome.

Very crowded set and it is hard to describe it so let the pictures talk. Statues and lights and things like that. That is way over the top you could say. That is you could say without having watched them. When they sing and the set plays the…
