Deer Tick announces summer of Flag Days
Deer Tick, the brainchild of Providence, Rhode Island’s John McCauley turned full-on band, has been kicking up some dust in the past few years. With the band’s stunning 2007 debut, War Elephant, reissued in 2008, the 21-year-old has been spreading his Dylanesque howl across the country since he was a teenager. June 23 will see [...]
Album Review: Spain Colored Orange – Sneaky Like A Villian
In line at a Chinese buffet, the choices spread out before you, the thought rarely occurs, “maybe I should just get the sesame chicken and rice.” No, you pile your plate to the sky, precariously steadying a Babel Tower of noodles, meat, sauce and egg rolls. Man was not meant to test the digestion gods [...]
Babyshambles look ahead to new album
Continuing to defy logic both in terms of staying alive and failing to convince his former bandmates to reunite for a multi-million dollar reunion, Peter Doherty has turned his sites back to the Babyshambles and a brand new studio album. And, if all the chatter turns out to be to be true, this will definitely [...]
Interpol frontman releasing non-Interpol album
In what could turn out to be the most confusing solo project of the year, Interpol frontman Paul Banks is reportedly readying a “cocky, sexy” album consisting of material dating as far back as 10 years entitled Skyscraper under the alter ego Julian Plenti, or so says Billboard.com (via Matablog). An early preview can be [...]
Dusting ‘Em Off: Judas Priest – British Steel
There has always been a heated debate among metal critics – both amateur and professional - as to the historical relevance of albums that were released between 1980 and 1990. Some say that the emergence and rabid media saturation of hair metal essentially killed any historical relevance for all the metal bands that attempted to capitalize on that decade’s surge of commercial recognition. On the other [...]
Aerosmith, ZZ Top finalize summer plans
For whatever reason, it’s apparently becoming cool for high-profile bands to release their upcoming tours in parts, with the first being dates and locations, followed eventually by venues. Take Aerosmith and ZZ Top‘s upcoming co-headlining tour for example. Last month, the two legendary outfits announced plans for a summer get together, but at the time, [...]
YouTube Live: The Pogues get sentimental
The Pogues are truly one of a kind. Combining traditional Celtic music with the anarchy of punk, albums such as Red Roses for Me and If I Should Fall from the Grace of God are classics. Shane McGowan, the flawed genius behind the band’s signature sound, is an amazing songwriter. Say what you will about his [...]
New festival alert! Wanderlust Festival ’09!
Last week, we mentioned what appeared to be a new California based music festival called the Wanderlust Festival. It turns out that we were partially correct – from July 24-26, Michael Franti & Spearhead, Spoon, Andrew Bird, Broken Social Scene, and a slew of other acts will descend on Lake Tahoe, California for a weekend [...]
Mastodon to make Crack the Skye film?
Considering that Mastodon‘s recently released fourth studio album, Crack the Skye, is easily the group’s most story-like work to date, it only makes sense that the Atlanta rockers are now talking film. Drummer and lyricist Brann Dailor tells Billboard.com that the quartet recently sat down with a film director, who “wrote out a screenplay that [...]
ODB gets documented and tributed…
Wu Tang Clan founding member Ol’ Dirty Bastard may have passed away in 2004, but thanks to the upcoming release of a new documentary and several tribute albums, ODB’s legacy will continue to live on. The first of the albums – key word: albums, All in Together Now Raw: A Tribute to Ol’ Dirty Bastard, [...]
