Clipse – Hell Hath No Fury (Re-Up, Star Trak) It’s a cold fucking world out there. As drug slingers or as emcees, Pusha T and Malice haven’t had the easiest of lives. That isn’t to say that either “career” is easy, but these guys could write a…
“My Propeller”, the 3rd single off Arctic Monkeys’ latest album, the 2009 released “Humbug”, will get released next Tuesday. Until then though, I came across the B-side for the single, a brand new AM song titled “The Afternoon’s Hat”. I really like the somewhat nouvelle direction the band have taken with their new album, embracing a more confident and mature sound. Thank you very much, Josh Homme!

The band handled themselves marvelously during their live performance for Jimmy Fallon’s Late Night Show where they played their new single “Crying Lightning”. Not a lot of stage persona, but the sound was simply impecable! Seems like the band (and hair) is getting better and better as each album goes by. Check out the performance bellow or, for better quality, here. “Humbug” is out August 24th.
Being both a huge Josh Homme and Arctic Monkeys fan, it’s impossible for me not to love this neo-psychedelia bomb. Adventurous and murky, “Crying Lightning” is a brilliant move forward by the monkeys. Oh, yes, this is gonna be a terribly interesting album – the third in the Arctic Monkeys catalog. Not too interesting of a video for Crying Lightning , though. Just the band, with increasing hair issues (somebody should tell Alex Turner the…
Next month the highly anticipated third installment in the Sheffield rockers’ catalog, “Humbug,” is due – as such, yet another blazing Arctic Monkeys tour is on the horizon. The album’s production was handled by QOTSA’s Josh Homme and Mobile Disco’s James Ford, and it seems to mark a departure from the Monkeys’ signature sound with which we’ve grown so fondly of. It’s a lot more psychedelic, more marsh and, above all, more adventurous. Yes, this…
Alex Turner’s Arctic Monkeys are quite the workaholics, apparently, with a new record every year, or at least that’s what the band makes us think. After the 2006 extraordinary debut, and last year’s “Favorite Worst Nightmare”, the Arctic Monkeys are now preparing to head back to the studio to work on a new album, albeit chances for it getting released in 2008 are very slim. Joining them, however, on the new record is none other…
The Last Shadow Puppets are Miles Kane (from The Rascals) and Alex Turner, the famous Arctic Monkeys frontman and lead guitarist. Very close friends ever since Arctic Monkeys toured with Kane’s previous group, The Little Flames, the eclectic duo felt so great jamming together, that they decided to devise a cunning plan. That very plan is The Age Of The Understatement, is an album of 12 full-blooded songs, bold and brassy, full of drama, wit…
Well we’ve been awaiting for them to make their move for quite a while, but the wait has not been in vain. According to Daily Star, Arctic Monkeys are going to release their third album this year. This would be their third album in just three years, quite a remarkable performance.Alex Turner and co. are believed to be busy recording in their London studio the follow-up to ‘Favourite Worst Nightmare’, which would complete their hattrick….
Liverpool homeboys [tag]Arctic Monkeys[/tag] are back with a new video, this time however their less creepy or melancholic, their simply them. The video accompanying the more laid back “Teddy Picker” (killer bass, had to say that) features the band in a recording studio performing the song with a whole bunch of instruments around and a over enthusiast plastic croc. From the ZME recommended Favorite Worst Nightmare.
Indie rave trio [tag]Klaxons[/tag] have managed to win the British annual 2007 Mercury Prize, for their revolutionary debut album “Myths of the Near Future”. The competition was far from easy, with such contenders as: [tag]Amy Winehouse[/tag]’s “Back to Black”, [tag]Arctic Monkeys[/tag]’s “Favourite Worst Nightmare”, [tag]Dizzee Rascal[/tag]’s “Maths + English” and loads of other great brit bands. The award came as a complete surprise for the Klaxons, as they were ravished by emotions, bursting in tears,…
