The Maccabees are proving to be a huge brit-indie rock band – and with their new album “Given To The Wild” – have definitely grown. I must admit I was quite oblivious to the fact they would be releasing a new album, but after hearing the news I was fairly mellow, not excited. I absolutely loved their first album “Colour It In” and found it hard to stop listening to it. Their follow up “Wall…
So in case you didn’t already have reason to doubt to the so-called facts that have been spouted off by the RIAA and MPAA in reference to piracy, lemme give you one. There’s this TED talk wherein Rob Reid (humorously) discusses the figures cited by those two bodies for the supposed losses they suffer from internet piracy. As it turns out, the numbers are more or less bullshit. Reid points out at the beginning that…
The 60’s brought us the one of the original “boy bands”, The Monkees. Davy Jones was a pinup star in my sister’s room, and I am sure he was covering plenty of other walls all around the world. His boyish looks and his quirky cuteness made him a TV and pop star. The Monkees were the biggest thing on TV at the time, and Davy Jones was on top of it all. You may even…
Gorillaz just recently released their new single, “DoYaThing” which is available for free download on Converse Music, and also threw in a music video to go with it. James and Andre 3000 are great in the track, and you’ll be delighted to see how they’ve been depicted for the video, along with the series of creepy, yet exciting scenes, like a toast and human ears breakfast, overly “aggressive” product placement and a 3-D 2-D. Great…
Let me tell you – this album is bizarre. REALLY bizarre. it’s a pop-opera based on a crazy novel about Atlantis from the late 1800s, with a style that mixes up hundreds of musical sub-genres in each song. Each individual element seems too far-fetched to enjoy, but when combined something wonderful and twisted is created. Speaking of the combined pieces, Pepe Deluxé describe themselves as “an inter-continental orchestra,” but the two “conductors” of this orchestra are…

The headline says it all, folks. Canadian indie/alternative twin-duo Tegan and Sara have officially come back from their year and a half off, and are expected to enter the studio in the middle of this month. Having not toured since a year before the release of their three-part short film series Get Along in November of 2011, this installation can be expected to deviate slightly from the latest Sainthood and even more (most likely) from…
A year ago today (and, believe me, this is still terribly hard to type), monumental Detroit garage rock duo the White Stripes officially decided to break apart. The raw, bluesy two piece cut the chord on February 2, 2011, ending the more than 10 years of life their only child had so voraciously acquired. In all honesty, this was to be expected; it would have been selfish to force the electric pair to continue, especially once…
Jack White, former frontman of the garage-rock duo The White Stripes and current member of The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather, has just unveiled the first single off his debut solo album Blunderbuss. The single, “Love Interruption,” is currently streaming at Third Man Records’ website, and will be released as a 7″ single February 7th. This leading single is a bluesy acoustic track, with a soft jazz organ and clarinet playing in the background. Jack…
It’s called “We Take Care of Our Own,” and you can hear it via a lyric video he uploaded to YouTube. You can stream it below. The song is the first single off of his forthcoming record Wrecking Ball, which is due out on March 6. In typical Boss fashion, it’s got not-all-hope-is-lost working-man lyrics, chiming guitars, and an anthemic chorus. So, yeah, it’s a Springsteen song.
