The Los Angeles band FIDLAR make their punk debut with the self-titled album released earlier this year.Punk is making a comeback. Young bands are creating gritty tracks that appeal to a new generation of music listeners, making post-punk revival the music scene to watch. Although there is much hype about the new Strokes album set to release later this month, let’s face it. The Strokes have lost their charm. Yes, they…
Origin: Surrey, England Disclosure are the British duo of brothers, Howard and Guy Lawrence and are definitely the one to look out for in 2013. With a mix of warm synth, deep bass and fast tapped beats, the guys recreate a vibe of future/house/garage music, but it’s definitely not something I’ve heard before. They are possibly the youngest and fastest rising DJ’s at the ages of 21 and 18 but damn, they’re good at it!…
Atoms for peace is definitely one of the hottest good bands of the moment. The band, featuring Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, Flea from RHCP and producer Nigel Godrich will be played a series of shows throughout Europe. The tour will culminate with three shows played in consecutive days in London. Here are the dates: So far, the only Stateside set any Atoms For Peace affiliates have planned is Yorke and Godrich’s DJ booth appearance at Le…
As I was telling you a few days ago, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs are back! They promise to bring back charisma and sexuality “back into the fray” with their new album “Mosquito”. You can listen to the sample track “Sacrilege” here. Singer Karen O explained that she misses the gnarl and energy of the early-2000s music scene, when she and the band started: “I miss the bands that were around when we first started out….
Eric Clapton is about to release his 21st solo album, Old Sock, on March 12th and head out on a spring U.S. arena tour – and you may want to pick up your tickets as soon as possible, because Slowhand announced he will only be touring for a year or two: “The bit onstage, that’s easy,” Clapton, 67, tells senior writer Brian Hiatt. “If I could do that around my neighborhood, that would be great….
There’s a new player in the select club of supergroups – with members of Pearl Jam, Guns N’ Roses and Screaming Trees already joining in. Pearl Jam’s Mike McCready has joined forces with former Guns N’ Roses member Duff McKagan and former Screaming Trees drummer Barrett Martin for a brand new but still unnamed band. I’ve been waiting to see Duffy play something like this in years, and when Pearl Jam head guitarist and Screaming…
They’re back with a third album and it’s all guitar riffs, synths, and rhyming lyrics! But what’s so different about it to the rest? Well it is quite a different approach by the boys; compared to the 2008 debut St Jude and 2010 album Falcon. Being cut from the same cloth, I guess you won’t be surprised to hear it as a combination of the style of these two albums. The album opens with a…
In case you didn’t know (despite the fact that we already told you twice so, no excuses there) – David Bowie broke his 10 year long musical silence, taking everybody by surprise and storming in with his new songs, and now, a full album that he’s streaming on iTunes. He already released two singles – the first one (Where are we now?) shot straight to no. 1, and no one was really surprised, while the…
Talk about a backstab! Yesterday, we were telling you how Scott Weiland was fired from STP, and how he actually found out about it from the press. But there’s more drama here; ironically, just a day before this, he was giving an interview, saying how the band only needs some “fresh blood”, and how “no one’s ever fired anyone from STP”: “STP has not broken up. I haven’t quit. I haven’t been fired. We’re talking…
So yesterday we told you that Stone Temple Pilots announced they fired their singer Scott Weiland. Well, apparently, no one told Scott because, according to him, he found out the way the rest of us did: “I learned of my supposed ‘termination’ from Stone Temple Pilots this morning by reading about it in the press.” Ouch. What’s just as interesting is the question I posed regarding STP minus Weiland: Can STP be STP without him?…
