At the beginning of the year Dave Grohl and his Foo Fighters announced out of a sudden that they’ve finished recording the band’s seventh studio full length, leaving Foo fans and reminiscing grunge fanatics incredibly anxious. Not much is known about it, except from what Grohl already told us, namely that old Nirvana buddy Krist Novoselic plays bass somewhere on the record and that it’s the “heaviest [Foo Fighters] work to date.” The first single…
To be exact, it was two days ago (Tuesday, January 11) and it’s called “H.A.M.” The single is taken from the forthcoming album he made with Jay-Z called Watch The Throne, due out sometime in March. Oh, and he (originally) released it on the official Facebook page for the album. I kid you not. In order to hear it (or, rather, have heard it), you have to like the page. It’s worth your time, of…
The story of Kings of Leon is remarkable; the guys did good music for a lot of time, became superhits, and entered 2010 as absolute superstars. But the southeners finished the year with a totally different mood. Their country-tinged fifth album, “Come Around Sundown” failed to please both fans and critics, and as it often happens, it backfired against them. Group’s guitarist Matthew Followill tells Spinner that he absolutely understands what fans and critics think,…
Album name: Recovery Artist name: Eminem Genre: Rap Released: June 18, 2010 Label: Shady/Aftermath/Interscope ZME Rating: 6/10 Website: eminem.com ——————— Generally speaking, Eminem doesn’t play well with others. Aside from the crew he runs with (or, used to…) – Dre, the Bass Brothers, D12 et al – he just doesn’t jive with too many other artists. If you discount the fact that Dre is the one that discovered him, and has basically served as…
So that supergroup I raved about a while back has their entire album, Ironiclast, available for streaming over at Ultimate Guitar’s website. Upon first listen, it’s a lot of fun. It’s (really) old school metallic hard rock. Nothing too complex: great riffs, anthemic choruses, wily solos – you get the idea. There really aren’t any surprises here, which is actually a good thing. You know exactly what the entire album is no matter which single…
Early next year, the ever prolific Drive-by Truckers are set to release their ninth studio album “Go-Go Boots”, a tracklist from the same recording session which also boomed their previous critically hailed studio effort, “The Big To Do”. Below you can download the first single from the new record, titled Used to Be A Cop, a whiskey ripped brawler very reminiscent of the band’s older material. You can download it for free below, just for…
The new Daft Punk soundtrack for one of the most anticipated theatrical release of 2010, Tron: Legacy, is slated for tomorrow, and this latest hype builder of a music video for Derezzed, which premiered just earlier today, does nothing but amplify the sentiment. Nothing too much to say about the video, other that it’s quite awesome – the duo enter the film’s legendary Flynn’s Arcade setting where they get sucked into Tron’s marvelous video game…
Last night Conan’s eccentric show, which featured the host wearing ladies’ jeggings and the three Kardashian sisters on the same couch, which is three too many, was topped by a sharp performance of Deerhunter’s “Helicopter” off the band’s latest full length effort, the recently released “Halcyon Digest”. This was Deerhunter’s first national TV appearance and the band performed well on par. Check out Helicopter live on the video player below. Watch the ghostly official video…
Not with a voice like that it won’t! One of Domino Record’s latest signees is London’s Anna Calvi, a rising talent from the borrows with a voice of an angel and fingers as if molded on the guitar. Where she shines however is on the stage, as some who’ve seen her live with Grinderman this fall can confirm – a stage overflowed with a cascade of raw emotions – quite peculiar considering Calvi’s a very…
The guy behind American Hardcore: A Tribal History, a book detailing the history of hardcore punk that later spawned a film, has uploaded 24 hours of hardcore punk (911 songs). The set contains all the logical inclusions: D.R.I., Black Flag, Bad Religion, NOFX, and Scream (the band Dave Grohl was in before Nirvana). You can stream any of the 911 songs or download them if you like. Which is what makes this compilation slightly dubious….
