Cypress Hill plots return
It’s been a long time since we’ve heard from Cypress Hill. So long in fact, then when news recently surfaced that the Los Angeles hip-hop group is currently at work on a brand new album, the first thought that came to my mind was, “Cypress Hill? Oh yeah…the rap group that played Homerpalooza!” Of course, [...]

Album Review: Ryan Smith – I Just Wanted To Feel That Way [EP]
The world is brimming with creativity and you can’t go one day without stumbling upon signs of that fact. So every now and then it just happens to be that a to me new songwriter or band passes by my field of view, or hearing, and I start liking what I hear with the help from the [...]
Spinal Tap goes “Unwigged & Unplugged”
A new Spinal Tap album and tour…what it is it, 1984? Some 17 years after the release of the semi-fictional outfit’s second studio album, Break Like the Wind, actors musicians Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer will resurrect Spinal Tap for another go around. As we first told you last month, the metal heads [...]
Themselves offer taste of mixtape, tour dates
For a group only now Themselves again, Themselves aren’t wasting any time. Hot off an appearance at last weekend’s Nose Pop, where as you’ll see below included a stop at the Apple Store, Doseone and Jel have unveiled a slew of new offerings, highlighted by an early taste of the duo’s upcoming new mix, theFREEhoudini. [...]
Listen: Kate Schutt
There is something in the cold Canadian air that has been whipping up some serious talent this past decade, and it only keeps getting better. An Ontario transplant originally raised in Pennsylvania, Kate Schutt is one of those amazing musicians with a sound that combines the soul of Chan Marshall, and the soft intimate jazz [...]
Watch: Death Cab’s “Grapevine Fires”
Let’s get something straight, there’s nothing more unappealing than using “I” in a news piece. Who the hell cares about the writer, right? Well, let’s make an exception, shall we? Last year, I made the very, very unfortunate mistake of absolutely glossing over what is now one of my favorite songs of all time off [...]
Check Out: Art Brut’s “Alcoholics Unanimous”
With Art Brut on the verge of releasing its latest album, the Frank Black produced Art Brut v. Satan (US May 12th via Downtown Records), the angry British post-punkers have offered an early taste in the form of a single entitled “Alcoholic Unanimous,” a song about…pretty much what its title suggests.The angry lament for “bad [...]
Album Review: Handsome Furs – Face Control
The weekends of married life can be summed up by Will Ferrell’s line in his 2003 college classic, Old School. In it Ferrell digresses: “We have a big day planned actually, a nice Little Saturday. We’re going to go to Home Depot, buy some wall paper, maybe get some flooring, stuff like that…” But what [...]
Woodstock readies return?
It literally seems like every year we deal with rumors of a reincarnation of the infamous Woodstock Music Fesitval, only to disappointed (or thrilled, depending on your views) when nothing comes to fruition. But with the 40th anniversary of Woodstock ’69 quickly approaching, promoters look to be more serious than ever about bringing the festival [...]
Check Out: Green Day’s “Breakdown”
After mounting hype and rather curt announcements, some new music from Green Day has finally surfaced. Yesterday, the likely first single, “21st Century Breakdown”, leaked to starving fans everywhere, and let’s just say, the Oakland “bad boys” weren’t lying about being ambitious. This sucker soars, glides, burns and what have you — a good harbinger [...]
