Let’s face it, 2012 wasn’t the best year in music, but still there’s been quite a few brilliant releases. So what can we expect for next week? Quite a lot, actually. Perhaps the most anticipated album is Green Day’s “Uno!”, the first of an announced trilogy, especially considering Billy Joe Armstrong’s recent voice problems. It will be the first of three albums in the ¡Uno!, ¡Dos!, ¡Tré! trilogy, a series of studio albums to be…
After the great success with the ever so catchy Somebody That I Used To Know, Gotye decided to release a video for another one of his songs from the same album Making Mirrors – don’t worry, odds are this one won’t be all over the radio. This is Gotye’s 3rd album that was released on iTunes in 2011 and with all the bonus tracks, has 15 tracks. Giving Me a Chance is the 10th song…
After the timely death in July last year, Amy Winehouse became much more popular than she was in the lifetime. It was like a boom – everybody was listening to Amy Winehouse, everybody was buying her albums and so on. I am not saying that she wasn’t a good singer, but you cannot not admit that her songs became much more popular after her death. Source In a recent interview for…
Steve Ellison, better known by the name of Flying Lotus, has travelled quite the way from his early start producing interlude tracks for Adult Swim. The 28 year old experimental electronic musician divulges into the more visceral, hazy subset of beats. His tracks are often densely layered, unpredictable and often serve as the perfect soundtrack for wandering the streets past midnight. With his last release Cosmogramma in 2010, which was received with overwhelming positive response, Flying…

Tomorrow is September the 5th – it would’ve been Freddie Mercury’s 66th birthday, so Rovio Entertainment or the creators of Angry Birds decided to turn iconic singer (ex Queen’s frontman for all the newbies out there) into a honorary character. Freddie Mercury – Angry Bird: Source “Freddie for a Day is such a great way to honor Freddie’s fun and flamboyant spirit while delivering an important message…Queen’s music has endured for…
So after the announcement of Avril and Chad Kroeger getting engaged, the internet decided to comment on the situation. It’s some pretty funny stuff. Uproxx collected some of the best reactions – tweets, photoshops, whatever – together and I’ve included a few of my favorites. My favorite non-pic reaction comes from am incredibly clever tweet from Ben Paddon: That said, my favorite reaction – text or otherwise – is a photoshop that’s just so perfect, it’s like it came…
I first stumbled upon A Band Called Quinn through BBC Serial Drama, Lip Service. Described by Scottish pop pundit Jim Gellatly as ‘Scotland’s Best Kept Secret’, this Glaswegian quartet, consisting of Louise Quinn, Bal Cooke, Robert Henderson and Steven Westwater, produce a unique, fun brand of electro, indie pop that blurs the boundaries between music, film and theatre. The woman at the forefront of this band is Louise…
So two pieces of news that make Dave the coolest and most damn-I-wanna-meet-him-est rock star in the world. (In case, ya know, being one of the best live bands in all of music wasn’t enough. Or putting out a fantastic arena rock record 16 years into one’s career.) First: A recent Foo Fighters show in Ireland sparked over 100 noise complaints. Nothing special, right? Well, apparently, the concert could be heard from 12 miles away….
