Best Coast are due to hit the UK shores this summer, with five dates confirmed for June 2012.

Best Coast, banda de surf-pop originaria de Los Angeles, recién anunció que está por lanzar su nuevo material discográfico. Desde que lanzaron su primer álbum, Crazy For You , en el 2010, se dedicaron a presentarse en vivo prácticamente sin parar. Pero después de tocar las mismas canciones una y ora vez, llegó el momento de descansar, tomar un respiro y entrar al estudio. Lo nuevo de Best Coast se está cocinando en Los Angeles, en los Capitol Studios, con nada más y nada menos que el productor John Brion , que ya sabemos tiene un [...]

It seems as though BUZZ BANDS have FINALLY made it into the American lexicon of jargon dictionary cultural awareness zeitgeist mass media crossover into the mainstream. Or there is just 'some indie bro' who works there, and he sees dumb categories 'go viral'. There is also potentially 'some genuine indie fan girl' who works there and she 'genuinely' used the word buzzbands. Other ppl think that there might be a 'cool dad' who just wanted to buzz some bands, get some pictures of TV screens 'going viral' as if any1 gives a damn abt Jeopardy as a culturally relevant institution.

Metallica , el que tal vez es el grupo de metal más popular de todos los tiempos, y el más conocido de la actualidad, ha vuelto. No, aún no se sabe nada de su nuevo disco, y no queremos recordar su último experimento con Lou Reed, al cual dicho sea de paso le han llovido críticas desde todos los lados. Metallica vuelve con Orion Music & More , un nuevo festival muy diferente a lo que la mayoría de fans podrían esperar. Mas que nada porque se trata de un festival [...]

Since releasing his BRILLIANT self-titled debut album back in 2008, I've been eagerly awaiting new material from 29 year old Aussie-born/U.S. & UK based singer/songwriter Sam Sparro . Well folks, that moment has FINALLY arrived. " The Shallow End " is the first tease of new stuff from Sparro, who's sophomore record, Return To Paradise , is due for release in May via EMI . HALLELUJAH ! I'm uncertain, whether or not [...]

Bethany BB! U've got it all! Fuzzy buzzy lofi pop grunge 90s femwave songs, an AMAZING bf, a KEUT KITTIE KAT, but most importantly, u LOOK GOOD, bb! At last weekend's Laneway Big Day Out Tasmanian Devil Kangaroo Indie festival, somewhere in Australia, Bethany Cosentino was spotted showing a LIL BIT of mid-drift. Fortunately for Nathan Williams , Cosentino chose to cover up, not showcasing her bod to random indie fan bros. Nonetheless, it is clear that Bethany has her eyes on becoming a 2k12 FASHION ICON. The truth is, in the post-LanaDelRey [...]

Now that I have the undivided attention of eight people: Best Show(s) That I Never Saw Lightning Bolt at Healthy Times Fun Club (RIP) Soundgarden/Queens of the Stone Age/Mastodon etc. at the Gorge Pig Destroyer at [...]

This morning we mentioned some upcoming releases we're excited about, but not every band has their plans set in stone. Some are more vague, intentional or not, about their current projects, leaving us to speculate about whether they'll make good on a promise for a record in 2012, or whether they'll just surprise us with a stellar album. Here are some bands we're (*fingers crossed*) expecting/hoping for albums from this year. Sometime in 2012 [...]

When you compile a list like this, you start to tremble at how much you're really going to absorb in the ensuing months. This doesn't even cover the misses and surprises. If you're a casual listener, you might get through an album a day. Okay, maybe two. If you're a fanatic, you're spinning discographies left and right. Still, after 365 days, either person is buzzing. One's just a little louder with the phonetics. As I wrote back in December, in a year, you'll have your next roundup of favorite albums. You'll have a new favorite song. You might [...]

• School of Seven Bells - The Night

London-based trio Novella emerged partway through last year tugging and chewing on the coattails of the likes of Echo Lake and The History Of Apple Pie, despite July-released single The Things You Do / Oh Brian bettering anything committed to black wax by either of the aforementioned. Melissa Rigby featured behind the sticks and skins as part of a drummer carousel, yet still their unhinged underground aesthetic all too oft went unheard. Quite conceivably Santiago, the trio's latest of three tracks to rain down from the Soundcloud may, we pray, change these winds considerably: spectral vocal [...]
