Entitled Ephemeral, the effort will hit record stores June 6th, via heavy metal powerhouse Southern Lord Records.

The White Stripes get fictionized
For years, the quirky garage rock meets punk blues duo The White Stripes have been grabbing up opportunities that allowed them to branch out beyond writing and recording and experiment with the likes of film and television. But never have they ever dared to get written into fiction! Yeah, you heard that right. The White [...]

Album Review: The Morning Benders – Grain of Salt [EP]
I am not a fan of digital only releases, the crusty ol’ codger that I am (rusting away in my late 20s). Needless to say, I eyed The Morning Benders‘ Grain of Salt EP with more than a little skepticism. If it wasn’t good enough for a disc, how could it be worthy my time? [...]
Watch: Little Boots – “New in Town”
What’s that? An excuse to not only listen to more of the insanely catchy sounds of Little Boots, but also watch the insanely beautiful British native at the same time? Did I win the lottery or something? No, in fact, it’s just the latest video from the musician born Victoria Hesketh. In anticipation of the [...]
Prayers are answered, Creed returns…
To borrow from Jake and Elwood Blues, “The Lord works in mysterious ways.” That’s certainly one way of explaining things lately. Between the swine flu and that idiot octuplet woman, there’s hardly enough room to stomach an upcoming Creed reunion, but that’s exactly what’s happening. Yes, that’s right. Scott Stapp and Mark Tremonti are working [...]
The Fiery Furnaces return with I’m Going Away
To be fair, it’s not like The Fiery Furnaces have been completely absent since the release of 2007′s Widow City – after all, just last August, the band released a live album entitled Remember. Still, the Brooklyn indie rockers did take a hiatus of sorts, so it is a bit comical to hear that they [...]
Yeah Yeah Yeahs are actually playing venues!
Well, kind of. In support of their recently released new LP, It’s Blitz!, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs have added seven more “comfy dates” to its upcoming world tour, bringing the total of non-festival dates to 18. Could their festival whore status be in jeopardy? Probably not. After all, Karen O. and company still do have [...]
Even musicians see lighter wallets…
You would figure the tale of woe that is our global economy would only hurt the Joe Six-Packs of the world. Surely, celebrities and other cultural figures can’t be unaffected, right? They live in a bubble, Plus, we basically give them all of our disposable income. Not so fast. Even some of music’s most notable [...]
Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews Band, Beastie Boys head Austin City Limits ’09
We have reached the last of the four. For the ninth consecutive year, Austin City Limits will cap off what Coachella, Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza started, serving as the final featured event of the 2009 festival season. By the look of its recently revealed bill, ACL will do so with an eclectic collection of old favorites [...]
Open Thread: Austin City Limits
Later tonight, or tomorrow – depending on whether organizers like sleep as much as we do, Austin City Limits will officially shell outs its 2009 lineup. In anticipation of the unveiling, we figured now would be a good time to open it up to the reader. Feel free to use this post to share your [...]
