Album Review: Tinted Windows – Tinted Windows
Well, we can want for nothing now, for all of our dreams have come true! James Iha, one of the founding members of The Smashing Pumpkins, is now singing back-up for a pop group headed by Taylor Hanson of the legendary boy band Hanson. We can breathe a little easier.
Animal Collective electrifies the Electric Factory (5/12)
Let me preface the following questions by first stating that this concert was phenomenal. Okay, now that that’s out of the way. Was I at a Slayer concert last night? Did I buy tickets to see Animal Collective at the Electric Factory to somehow be implanted into a Slipknot crowd, with Animal Collective existing before [...]
Where We Live: The Zoo – Winnipeg, Manitoba
Small town living is not without its benefits, but definitely, one of the cons is an almost nonexistent music scene. My hometown of Dauphin, Manitoba hosts an annual country music festival (Countryfest) and the occasional rock concert, but for the most part, I’ve had to make the four hour trip to Winnipeg to catch a [...]
Clutch is back with new album, tour
Clutch is one of those bands that thrives thanks to its super dedicated fanbase. So, unless you’re a member of this super dedicated fanbase, the following news probably won’t interest you all that much. On July 7th, the Maryland based quartet will release its ninth full-length effort and first on personal imprint Weathermaker Music, Strange [...]
Tori Amos is Abnormally Attracted to Sin, will explain why on upcoming U.S. tour
On May 19th, Tori Amos will attempt to earn the hearts of you, and us (again) with the release of her financial crisis-inspired and girl power-approved new studio album, Abnormally Attracted to Sin. Aside from marking her first release with Universal Republic and being available in a deluxe version which includes a digital booklet, one [...]
Eminem gives away free music, hangs with Elton John
So, Eminem has a new album coming out soon. Next week (Tuesday, May 19th) actually. And while he has already started all the promotional actions and events necessary for a mainstream act (freestyling on German TV, peeing on Mariah Carey, and a scheduled appearance at the MTV Video Awards), the hip-hopper is also showing a [...]
Little Joy reshuffles lineup, announces U.S. tour
Well, The Strokes are in the headlines again, and no, it’s not because they have come out of hiding with their much-anticipated new LP. But it is related. You see, Little Joy, the Los Angeles based outfit featuring Rodrigo Amarante, Binki Shapiro, and Fabrizio Moretti, wants to tour this summer in support of their self-titled [...]
Gov’t Mule announces plans to rid “festival whore” status
Following in the footsteps of Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Widespread Panic, Gov’t Mule has expanded its summer itinerary beyond a slew of festival appearances. Throughout the month of July and August, the country jammers will hit a number of U.S. pavilions and amphitheatres between appearances at Mountain Jam, Bonnaroo, and Rothbury, both in support of [...]
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band defy conventions at the United Center (5/12)
At this stage in their careers, it almost seems pointless to review the actual performances of Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. We know these guys can play. Like, really play. Despite their age, their music isn’t just a performance, it’s a proclamation, pounded out with more celebratory passion, balls out fury, and carpenter’s [...]
