Album Review: MSTRKRFT – Fist of God
After a three year pause, Toronto’s hypnotic techno/rave/dance party sensation MSTRKRFT has finally returned!

Watch: Phoenix – “Lizstomania”

WMFU launches free music archives, takes away hours of your life
The internet is an amazing thing because, in theory, one is afforded the chance to have a plethora of data available instantly.

It’s been hyped for two weeks now, and they’ve teased us with 90-sec clips, but finally Green Day has unveiled its new single, “Know Your Enemy.” With ’60s throwback guitars, a rhythm that screams of Pete Townshend’s work, and some pace drumming by Tré Cool, this new single takes a bite out of your head [...]

Waxploitation, aka the Los Angeles based artist management company that represents such acts Gnarls Barkley, Danger Mouse, and Black Moth Super Rainbow, has announced plans for what will be another epic good deed – music style.

Watch: Morello joins Springsteen again…
It’s getting to the point where every time Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band hit Los Angeles, we should be expecting Tom Morello to walk out for some guest work on “The Ghost of Tom Joad”. As was the case this time one year ago, the Rage Against the Machine/Street Sweeper Social Club guitarist [...]
The All-American Rejects, Shiny Toy Guns flirt about at the Aragon (4/15)
Sporting a white hipster tuxedo, Tyson Ritter saunters around the open stage of the Aragon Theater, his red studded Chuck Taylors sparkling under the hundred different stage lights.
