Rumor alert! The Stone Roses reunite for summer jaunt?
Update: This has been confirmed as fake. Too bad, so sad. Well, as if last years’ list of reunions couldn’t fit anymore bands, the list just got a little heavier…and better. Word this morning says English alternative rock legends The Stone Roses are reuniting for the first time since 1995, all in celebration of the [...]
Album Review: Bonnie ‘Prince’ Billy – Beware
If you’ve never heard the name Will Oldham before, don’t be so sure you’ve never heard any of the man’s music (or seen a movie he has appeared in). Johnny Cash covered his classic “I See A Darkness” on American III and Oldham even appears in an installment of Trapped in the Closet. The 38 [...]
Beastie Boys ready to Check Your Head again…
Before they hit up the festival circuit this summer or release their follow up to 2007′s The Mix Up, the Beastie Boys will reissue yet another old time favorite. This time around, the Jewish rappers are putting out a remastered, expanded edition of their critically and commercially successful album, Check Your Head. At the rate [...]
Listen! Showcase Spotlight: Shad
On Friday, March 20, 2009, Consequence of Sound will host its first annual South by Southwest showcase. Entitled simply as Listen!, this year’s event is designed to highlight six of music’s most talented up-and-comers in one night, under one roof. In the days leading up to the event, we’ll be taking a closer look at [...]
Bloc Party mixes up Intimacy
With the band currently engaged in mammoth schedule, which includes a stint in the U.S. until May, a slew of European festival appearances over the summer, and an already announced October U.K. tour, it only makes sense the boys of Bloc Party are looking to spice up their appeal, especially since by the time the [...]
Check Out: Voxtrot – “Trepanation Party”
Let me just get this out of the way early: yes! Voxtrot is back! We love the Austin outfit almost as much as Regina Spektor so, it comes with great excitement that just a day after Ms. Spektor offered details about her upcoming record, Ramesh Srivastava and Co. have returned after a rather extensive break [...]
Placebo’s Battle For the Sun
Now over the Meds, it only makes sense that Placebo has moved on to such ginormous tasks, like a Battle For the Sun. Well, not literally, but that is what the English outfit will be doing once its sixth studio album hits record shelves on June 8th via PAIS. When plans for Dave Bottrill-produced Battle [...]
Interview: Nathen Maxwell (of Flogging Molly)
You’re in for a treat readers! Writer Nicholas Comney is back with an epic interview. This time around, he managed to squeeze in a few words — who are we kidding, it’s a mouthful — with bassist Nathen Maxwell of the Los Angeles punk troupe, Flogging Molly, who performed a sold-out show at Orlando’s House [...]
Dylan’s got life Together
It’s hard to believe that Bob Dylan turns sixty-eight this year. He may look it, what with his fading features and froggy voice, but lately he’s got the rhythm, writing skills, and touring schedule of a life-hungry thirty-year old. Things have certainly changed though for the Pulitzer prize winning songwriter. For one, who thought he’d [...]
Late Night Lobotomy (Week of 3/16)
This week’s big outside the music world: first day of spring and a holiday where everyone’s suddenly Irish. Get out your jogging shoes and your flasks. But after night falls and you’re looking for something to soothe your sore calves and alcohol poisoning, you’ll find some worthwhile musical acts making the talk show rounds. Fallon continues [...]
