We have the video for the new Lostprophets single. It's well worth a watch if you like your music videos to tell a story, and is quite action-packed as well, so should appeal to fans of that genre too! The clip is for the band's forthcoming single, Bring 'Em Down , which is out on March 26th, and is a slice of hard-edged pop-punk that sounds like the band are definitely still on form. I have a soft spot for this kind of thing. One of my favourite pop-punk albums of last year was In Gold [...]
No, seriously. This is no piss-take. The new Lostprophets song, 'Better Off Dead' is a bona fide rap-rock classic in waiting. You'll see. On 06 January 2062 they're going to have a Golden Jubilee to commemorate the day where the Welsh veterans made the internet - and music in general - a little bit better. It's the kind of shit rapping that puts Coby Dick to shame. I say Coby Dick and not Jacoby Shaddix because I'm referring to Last Resort era Papa Roach. I know we're meant to be [...]
La última vez que tuvimos noticias de Lostprophets fue en el 2010 con el lanzamiento de The Betrayed . Sin embargo, la banda no ha descansado un sólo momento desde entonces pues, además de promocionar dicho lanzamiento, se metió al estudio unos meses después para comenzar a trabajar en su quinto álbum, el cual ya está listo y será publicado el próximo 2 de abril. El disco, que fue grabado en Los Ángeles con el productor Ken Andrews, llevará por título Weapons y será editado a través [...]

Or: Films I took Seriously Back in the Day – a new AR series. This is the third and final installment. See the first two here . Writing about the movies of my youth has been a good time. From the beginning I knew the series would conclude with film #3. But which one? This was harder than I thought. There are just SO MANY gems to consider: John Cusack's duo of critically questionable material, One Crazy Summer and Better Off Dead , could [...]
The Sounds - Better off dead [stream] Remember The Sounds ? A few years back they charmed both sides of the pond with their ultra catchy punky spunky pop. Now they're back. With a bit darker and more mature sound. And a twist of electro... They're much better off this way, if you ask me. Well done. While we're at it, check out their new album, Something to die for (what's with all the death references all of a sudden...) - out now.
Interactive/Film SXSW 2011 geeks and Austin music enthusiasts alike were treated to a surprise set from 6 time Grammy-award winning recording artist Big Boi, along with Indie darlings The Sounds and Locksley. Pepsi Max and Foursquare made their viral presence at the Seaholm Power Plant set to a roaring crowd of fans who's tickets came from no other than a Facebook scavenger hunt. Such marketing = "welcome to SXSW 20113. The free booze were flowing as Madison, Wisconsin's Locksley took the stage. Ever think of what [...]
The Sounds are one of my favorite pop based punk/electronic bands. Imagine if Blondie went electro-pop. Their debut Living In America is 100% killer and no filler, so make sure to check that out of you like what you hear below. The production on new single Better Off Dead is pretty slick - especially the extended minimal techno break in the middle! The group end it all off with a stomping beat and blaring horns. Quite the catchy little [...]

Ah, finally the wonderful web is once again opening it's heart to me! It's been too long. You have no idea how I feel right now, writting these words to you, headphones gracefully placed on my ears. It's blissful. It's good to be back. Now, let's get into serious things. I don't understand why we haven't talked about Minitel Rose yet? They belong in the same gang as The Outrunners ( LaVoix did a topo on them recently ), College and Anoraak . Minitel, as [...]
A few weeks ago, I posted about one of my favorite John Cusack movies, One Crazy Summer . This week, I've chosen another classic Cusack film, Better Off Dead . The first of his movies with director "Savage" Steve Holland , and probably my favorite, Better Off Dead tells the tale of down-on-his-luck Lane Meyer. Lane's beautiful and popular girlfriend, Beth, has just broken up with him for jerk ski jock Roy Stalin and Lane doesn't feel as though he can go on. He begins thinking of [...]
