Guilty Pleasure: The Go-Go’s – Beauty and the Beat
Although my musical tastes lean toward alternative acts such as Pixies, as well as classic heavy metal/punk bands, in the vein of early Motley Crue or Social Distortion, I’m actually quite open to a variety of styles (some would say to a fault). I can’t help it. I’m a sucker for a catchy tune, and [...]
Listen: The Everyday Visuals
Well, gang, it’s almost that time of the year. Summer is quickly approaching, temperatures are a’risin, and you need to find some new tunes for the season. While you await the return of Mr. Tasty, make sure to pick-up the latest album from The Everyday Visuals, a self-titled effort. Rising from the ashes of Paun Unction, [...]
Liam Gallagher: Noel Gallagher is full of shit
Oh double dear! It won’t be a 5 year break if I’ve got anything to do with it, thanks for the support.. LG – Liam Gallagher via Twitter
Oh joy! Another Lil Wayne rock song leaks!
Just in case you are still anticipating the release of Lil Wayne‘s Rebirth following the unveiling of “Prom Queen” last month, today’s your lucky day. “Fix My Hat”, another track from Lil Wayne’s forthcoming rock epic has hit the web, meaning there’s yet another opportunity to convince yourself not to actually shell out $13.99 when [...]
In with the old…The Slits announce return
The all-female, British based punk genre just got a little more crowded. Ok, to be fair, the 1970 punk rock outfit better known as The Stilts isn’t making a comeback – the quintet already did that back in ’05. But come this summer, the group will soon be releasing its first new album in some [...]
Album Review: Dieter Schöön – Lablaza
In my final semester of school, last spring, I felt like my thesis would never end. I melodramatically thought I would be writing about youth voting habits until the letters on my keyboard fell off and my fingers were nothing but calloused stubs. This stress is not uncommon, as most of you (if you’re in [...]
Apostle of Hustle Eats Darkness
There’s truly never a dull moment in the world of Broken Social Scene. Even with the main outfit lying low these days, its members, specifically Andrew Whiteman, are still dishing out the tunes. On May 19th, the Canadian native will once again team up with bassist Julian Brown and drummer Dean Stone for a new [...]
Watch: Cornell’s softer “Scream”
2009 has been a rough year for Chris Cornell. We here at Consequence of Sound have been less than impressed with his latest tour and, of course, the Timbaland-produced album, Scream. Add that up with a harsh criticism from a peer and you’d be looking forward to next year, too. With someone as talented as [...]
Julian Marley to Awake
Stephen (see: “Blazed and Confused” tour) and Damian (see: Nas collaboration) are not the only members of the Marley clan with a busy summer ahead. On May 26, Julian Marley will release Awake, his first studio album in nearly six years, via Ghetto Youths. Recorded at the Lion’s Den in Miami, Florida and Tuff Gong [...]
Album Review: NOFX – Coaster
If anyone remembers 1994, then they also remember the label Epitaph and its rise to fame behind a few major 90s punk staples, which included The Offspring, Bad Religion, Rancid and NOFX. NOFX’s release of Punk In Drublic failed to spawn airplay or music videos, yet still became the band’s best-selling album to date. Superseding [...]
