Destroyer talks epic EP
When somebody mentions an EP, most people usually think of a collection of short songs released in addition to or before a group’s LP. For Dan Bejar, the man behind the Destroyer moniker, an EP is whatever he wants it to be. True, his forthcoming Bay of Pigs is only two songs in length (which [...]
Crosby, Stills & Nash are just getting started
Just because you’re turning 40 doesn’t mean you have to slow down. Take Crosby, Stills & Nash for example. In addition to its never-ending 40th anniversary tour this summer, the legendary trio is gearing up for not one, but two new releases. First up will be the aptly titled Crosby, Stills & Nash Demos on [...]
Alas, no new Gorillaz ’til 2010
Sometimes publicity is more confusing the better it gets, as is the case involving Damon Albarn and his animation creation Gorillaz. While new tracks had begun to surface earlier this year, we now get wind, via manager Chris Morrison, not to expect a new studio album until 2010. Granted, 2010 is not such a far [...]
Album Review: The Builders and The Butchers – Salvation is a Deep Dark Well

Album Review: Meat Puppets – Sewn Together
A friend of mine recently caught The Vaselines when they came to town. Considering he’s more of an alternative music fan than myself, I had to think quite carefully about what songs I had actually heard, soon realizing that the only reason why they had stayed in my mind was because Nirvana covered one of their songs, ‘Jesus Wants Me [...]
Stone Temple Pilots play casinos & Canadian festivals!
Scott Weiland is keeping his promise. Well, sort of. Sure, despite the November proclamation, there’s still no word on whether Weiland and his recently reunited Stone Temple Pilot bandmates will be releasing a brand new full-length anytime soon. But it’s still possible – after all, fresh off some solo fun over the winter (see: Happy [...]
Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears spend the summer bringing the blues

Black Joe Lewis & the Honeybears can be considered one of these bands; news of their upcoming North American tour with both [...]
