Girl in a Coma goes back in time
Girls in a Coma, everyone’s favorite Morrissey inspired, all girls outfit is back…literally. On June 2nd, the San Antonio based trio will look to relive the past with the release of it’s much anticipated sophomore effort, Trio B.C.. How so? Well, for one, the album’s title was inspired by the sisters’ grandfather’s band Tejano band [...]
Album Review: Depeche Mode – Sounds of the Universe
Depeche Mode has always had a peculiar place among the annals of music. The band’s breakthrough single, 1981′s “Just Can’t Get Enough”, contains one of the most memorable (and arguably annoying) synth melodies ever. Nearly 30 years later you can’t help but pogo to it anytime it comes on. However, the majority of the band’s catalog [...]
Hockey readies some Mind Chaos
Hockey is the name of a sport. Hockey is also the name of Portland, Oregon based quartet. The former has just entered the playoffs stage, and is already driving yours truly to a state of panic (see: Washington Capitals). The latter is currently catching the attention of quite a few folks, thanks to a recent [...]
Festivals in Brief: Noise for the Needy, 80/35, DFest, HARD Summer
Just because it’s Lollapalooza day doesn’t mean other festivals have to keep quiet with their own 2009 plans. In fact, today is quite the busy day when it comes to lineup news. Let’s round up all the important info in today’s edition of CoS’ Festivals in Brief:
Coachella Friday: Finally feeling the music…
“Coachella exists in two time zones: the event itself and its digital afterlife,” wrote Ben Ratliff in his coverage of the festival for The New York Times. “The second zone, on cameras and blogs and Twitter and video-sharing sites, comes a heartbeat after the first, like a rockabilly slap-back echo. We agree with this assessment, [...]
Listen: Canon Blue
It takes an unusual dude to record his music in Nashville, but then release it on a label from Denmark. Through this decision and his music, Daniel James shows that he is in fact one unusual dude. Despite the buzz bands that he can be compared to (and the buzz name that helped in the [...]
Beyoncé brings “I Am” to U.S.
There aren’t many artists who would take eight months to return to the country where their latest album hit #1. But Beyoncé ain’t any ordinary artist. Some eights after her third studio album, I Am… Sasha Fierce, charted in at #1 on the U.S. Billboard 200, the Texas native will officially embark on a two [...]
Killswitch Engage announces new album title, summer tour
Why would Killswitch Engage self-title an album twice? No idea. But come June 30th, the Massachusetts’ metallers will do just that when they unveil their fourth, full-length album via Roadrunner Records. That being said, the upcoming album will be quite different from the other Killswitch Engage; the band both has a new singer (Howard Jones) [...]
Update: Um…Pixies…um… = Box set
Update #2: So much for that “Administrator.” According to Rolling Stone, Minotaur will be the name of a Limited Edition and Deluxe Edition box set that will feature reissues of the Pixies’ catalog. Prices range from $175 to $450 and pre-orders will begin June 15th via A+R’s Website. No word on where Steve Albini fits [...]
PJ Harvey and John Parrish plan return to U.S.
A 10 date U.S. tour usually isn’t something to get all that excited about. I mean, it is only 10 dates…Springsteen does that in his sleep. But in the case of PJ Harvey and John Parrish, 10 dates is definitely an improvement as to what was offered earlier this spring. Come early June, the collaborative [...]
