Album Review: Green Day – 21st Century Breakdown
21st Century Breakdown doesn’t have the surprises and left field advantage that saved American Idiot, but it’s one hell of an album that should satisfy even the worst of the pessimists.
The Dead Weather announces first-ever tour!
After a short pause to alert people that The White Stripes are still alive, Jack White has jumped back on The Dead Weather wagon, this time to announce what surely is one of the more anticipated North American tours of the summer. Yes, you won’t just have to hit up on of their many upcoming [...]
Dan Deacon thrills the Metro…again (5/6)
There’s a decent chance that I own more crappy earplugs than anybody in the world. A couple years ago when I first decided it would be a good idea to take better care of my ears I stopped in and bought a pack of cheap earplugs on the way to a show. They come in [...]
NIN & Jane’s launch tour, Perry tears calf!
Well, if show #3 is any indication of what is to come during Nine Inch Nail and Jane’s Addiction‘s co-headlining North American tour, it will be quite eventful, and painful. Per Billboard.com: Jane’s Addiction lead singer Perry Farrell is recovering from a torn calf muscle he suffered on stage at a concert in Atlanta… The [...]
The Beach Boys ready another unnecessary compilation of music that has already been packaged in compilations like 13 other times
Well, it’s time for that annual Beach Boys release. This time around, the band, or should I say epitome of summer music, especially with their close harmonic vocals and lyrics praising hot cars, surfing, and finally girls, will release 20 its greatest love songs as part of a brand new compilation aptly entitled Summer Love [...]
Gonzales goes the distance
Last October, Fucked Up performed a 12-hour marathon show at Rogan NYC. Jason Beck, better known in music circles as Gonzales, laughs at that. On Saturday, May 16th the Canadian musician will set up on the stage of Paris’ the Cine 13 Theatre at 11:00 p.m. and begin his attempt to break the Guinness World [...]
Our Lady Peace to Burn on 7th LP
Canadian rockers, Our Lady Peace have announced a followup to 2005’s Healty in Paranoid Times. Titled Burn Burn, the seventh studio album is set for a July 21st release, and the first single, “All You Did Was Save My Life”, hits airwaves toward the end of May. Instead of the logical studio approach, the band [...]
Album Review: Andy Shauf – Darker Days
Andy Shauf lacks this narcissistic tendency. Hedged bets and ear-to-the-Pitchfork musical manipulations don’t exist on Darker Days, his debut album. Those years of singing alone in his bedroom have produced an uncommon voice that doesn’t have to fumble for tricks such as whispering or singing off key in the current fashion. Darker Days neither tries to hide the flourishes of pop sewn through nearly every song and verse; yet the instrumentation remains sparse to give Shauf’s voice its proper place.
Patrick Wolf celebrates The Bachelor with U.S. tour
Quickly taking advantage of its newest signing, NYLON Records has announced that Mr. Bachelor himself, Patrick Wolf, will be headlining the label’s second annual summer tour. The trek, which kicks off on June 5th in Seattle, Washington, will see the London based musician support his fan-financed, guest-heavy, super-spooky upcoming first of two new studio albums, [...]
Kate Nash doin’ the L.A. thing for her second album
Britpop starlet Kate Nash recently blogged on her MySpace page that she’s spending a couple weeks in LaLa Land to get the gears turning on a follow-up to her UK chart-topping, 2007 debut album, Made of Bricks. Writes Nash in signature all-lowercase style, “i finally feel ready to start getting stuck into thinking about how [...]
