Source. Rage Against The Machine – 20th Anniversary Boxset Tom Morello from Rage Against The Machine actually talks about preparing to release a new 20th anniversary reissue of their debut album, and that there are no other plans like releasing or recording a new album. We are blessed with having perhaps the most passionate fans to ever listen to a bootlegged recording or mosh at a show, so I want to…
Considering the huge musical difference between Foals’ first two full-length efforts, the jerky math-rock yelps of ‘Antidotes’ and the eerie textured anthems of ‘Total Life Forever’, no one could accuratley predict what to expect when the Oxford five-piece announced the release date of new album ‘Holy Fire’, followed by the premier of new single ‘Inhaler’ last week. Although front man Yannis Philippakis has hinted at a heavier direction, I don’t think anyone could have predicted this. Anyone…
Soundgarden have just released their new album, King Animal, on 12 November, and it kicks so much arse it shouldn’t even be legal! To help launch the project, the band appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman Monday night. Surprise surprise, they rocked it there too. Soundgarden performed the single from their first album in 16 years, “Been Away Too Long” on the nightly show. I can only agree man – they’ve been away…
There’s some misunderstanding in The Vaccines, that’s for sure. Earlier this year, guitarist Freddie Cowan came out strong to criticize Rihanna, explaining she isn’t a real artist. “Rihanna isn’t an artist – she has 15 writers, 15 songwriters and 15 producers all fighting for space on her albums and she’s the face of it. I have nothing against it, but I don’t want to be associated with it.” Everything seemed fine, it’s a valid point…
Bjork and MOCA have just released the music video Biophilia’s “Mutual Core”, directed by Andrew Thomas Huang (who also did the artwork for the Biophilia remix album). The video is unlisted, meaning you can only see it if you have the link, you can’t find it by searching. The explosive video features Bjork upto her waist in sand, surrounded by weird strange, lurking, licking creatures. As it turns out, these are definitely not the creatures…
The Rolling Stones have announced plans to play the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York on December 8. The show will come after the iconic band’s gigs at London’s O2 Arena on November 25 and 29, and before their previously announced shows in New Jersey at the Prudential Center in Newark on December 13 and 15. Tickets go on sale on November 19. There’s been a lot of discussion about the 100 pound tickets (over…
Push me and then just touch me Till I can get my satisfaction, satisfaction Benny Benassi I recently came across this really nice interview with Benny Benassi, in which he discusses Madonna, the bike tour of California, and house music. Quite a great read. You’re currently on your Rough Road bus tour, tell us a little bit about that and where the idea came from? After the bike tour of California I did a couple…
Former Skid Row singer announced he is currently working on a project which will “revolutionize popular music as we know it”. He made the announcement on his facebook page. Seriously, now? At this point of musical evolution, you’d hardly expect anyone to revolutionize music, let alone Sebastian Bach, who, albeit being crazy talented and quite lovable, is not quite the innovative type. He gave no other indications about this “top secret project”, so we’ll just…
Source. Amanda Palmer The video for Do It With a Rockstar which is actually co-directed by and features Wayne Coyne, has the all elements of a punk rock-cabaret video and even more. It contains nudity, so keep out from children, a rock show, transvestites, lesbians, mohawks, gothic make-up,sex which all end up in a great chaos – isn’t this what punk-rock’s all about? Do It With a Rockstar was released in June this year…
Source. Soundgarden – King Animal Soundgarden’s new album, King Animal, which will be officially released on 12th November this year, is now available on ZME Music where you can listen to it freely as long as you want. This album is really great and if 15 years of break is what it takes to make such an album, I think that it was worth the wait. Asked about the album, Soundgarden’s…
