UFO readies a visit
In what is the most fitting album title of 2009 based on the name of the band, UFO has announced plans for The Visitor. On June 2nd, the British quintet will unearth the 10-track effort, which marks the band’s 12th LP overall and first since 2006′s The Monkey Puzzle. The product of 35 tracks whittled [...]
Bonnaroo offers a peak at ’09 schedule
Considering the mind-blowing epic-ness of its 2009 lineup, it only makes sense for Bonnaroo to give us a little extra time to prepare ourselves for what is to come. Today, organizers did just that with the release of Mind Reader, some snazzy little program that is supposed to help you come up with the perfect [...]
Album Review: New York Dolls – ‘Cause I Sez So
Whether you consider this decade’s NYD different from NYD, circa 71-77, this decade’s NYD still kicks some ass, especially with the band’s fourth studio album, ‘Cause I Sez So.
Aerosmith to bust out entire albums on upcoming tour?
With Kanye and Mr. Yorke lying fairly low thus far in 2009, it’s provided the opportunity for other artists to become headline whores. Take Aerosmith for example. In just the last couple months, the Boston rockers have discussed their upcoming album, discussed how they were putting said upcoming album on hold, announced a co-headlining tour [...]
YouTube Live: The Sex Pistols’s “Anarchy” in Sweden ’77
If you sliced, diced, and pureed a rock song of all its commercial fluff, and then diluted what was left with hellfire, the result would pretty much sound like the Sex Pistols. Music doesn’t come much more primal than the tuneful riots created by this collection of English misfits. Johnny Rotten, Sid Vicious (replacing original [...]
A new Faith No More studio album on the horizon?
By now, you’ve surely heard that Faith No More has reunited. If you haven’t, then let us inform you. Back in February, legendary experimental rockers, FNM, announced that they would reform for a European tour (minus guitarist Jim Martin), including stops at Download Festival and Hurricane Festival, to name a couple. This is the first [...]
Claypool preps tour in support of Fungi
In a world of original artists, Les Claypool is a name that truly stands out. Beyond the well known exploits and music videos of Primus’ past, the slap bass guru has had countless projects between the Flying Frog Brigade, original songs for TV (South Park, Robot Chicken) and his solo album work. The fruits of [...]
Mastodon and Kylesa crack Toronto’s Skye (5/5)
Kylesa’s Laura Pleasants is one badass bitch. There aren’t too many women in the metal scene and, what’s worse, many of the women who are brave enough to endure “show off your tits!” every night, are those who dress provocatively and usually aren’t the greatest musicians. Keeping this in mind, I had cajoled my best [...]
Dirty Projectors split time between single-handedly reviving cassette industry and North American tour
With all their exploits with David Byrne and Björk these days, it’s easy to forget that the Dirty Projectors do in fact have a new album due out on June 9th. A new album, which as it now turns out, will be available in four formats: CD, vinyl, digital download, and cassette. Yes, on June [...]
Album Review: Ben Harper and Relentless7 – White Lies for Dark Times
Ben Harper has been around for ages. However, he consistently finds ways to put out music that feels fresher than most of the muck in today’s music scene, he’s headlining just about every music festival worldwide, and he’s never sold himself out. What percentage of artists can say all of these things? With White Lies [...]
