Artist: Bruce Springsteen

"Raucous Folk-Americana with dark foreboding blues and the occasional heart-stopping ballad" The guys at Clubhouse Records have an ear for the very best of UK Americana and they've come up trumps again releasing Little Copper Still the new album from London-based four-piece The Cedars. Ten of the albums baker's dozen tracks (there's a hidden extra on the CD) were recorded and produced on the other side of the 'The Pond' in California with Grammy winning producer Ian Brennan whose previous credits include Peter Case and Ramblin' Jack [...]

Everyone has to start somewhere, and all that. We're always fascinated by the idea of looking into the history of our favorite artists, be they musicians, writers, filmmakers or whatever else, and as such we found ourselves going down something of a Google Images rabbit hole yesterday afternoon in search of the earliest musical endeavors of some of our favorite musicians. We thought we'd share some of the fruits of our searching with you — fascinating photographs of famous musicians in the earliest stages of their artistic development. [...]

• SHOVELS & ROPE - Johnny 99

Bruce Springsteen is a storyteller. He isn't a lower-class Vietnam vet or Bobby Jean, but these are the characters Springsteen uses to get his perspectives to the listeners' ears. In the grand scheme of Springsteen's career these characters have experienced a roller-coaster of emotions. After Born To Run,  the pessimism became more apparent with each album, resting lowest at Nebraska . But, Born In The U.S.A. is spirited .  Its characters are pessimistic, but determined. They look back at their predecessors and shout, "get up and fight." With nostalgia, sentiment and a gallop of percussion in [...]

Divine Fits cover Bruce Springsteen's 'Hungry Heart.'

‘Folk Punk’ is one of those catch all terms that’s been bandied around quite a lot in recent years and, personally, I find to be a little lazy and uninspired. More often than not it’s used to pigeonhole artists and records that contain an acoustic guitar and some semblance of punk rock ethics in place of more appropriate terms. In the case of Dave Hughes & The Renegade Folk Punk Band, however, this shoe fits and they wear it very well. Mixing modern punk, rock & roll and traditional folk, ‘In Death Do We Part?’ sees the band [...]

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band brought their Wrecking Ball Tour to Australia this evening for the group's first performance of 2013. When the band took the stage at Brisbane Entertainment Centre in Brisbane they did so without guitarist Steven Van Zandt, who is in Norway filming his Lilyhammer TV show. It was the E Street Band's first performance without Little Steven since 1988. [Photo by @patricklion ] Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello filled Van Zandt's role and will do so [...]

Originally Published: May 5, 2009 They had Bruce Springsteen playing all day at work so I wanted to share one of my favorite tracks from him with you - "Streets of Philadelphia." Bruce wrote this song for the 1993 movie Philadelphia staring Denzel Washington & Tom Hanks (great movie). Cool facts about this video & Bruce: ...

With his most recent album, Wrecking Ball, being his 17th, Springsteen has been nothing but prolific over the forty years he has been making music. You're not likely to spot Springsteen hanging with the recently emerging infectious pop act One Direction any time soon, but the two acts, who sit on complete opposite ends of the musical spectrum, have more in common than you would have originally thought... 1) Bruce Springsteen This man needs [...]

When it began, early Bruce was an exotic figure - young and feral, with a wild mop of hair, a scraggly sailor's beard and a fearsome, frenetic intensity. This was Gypsy Bruce, Boardwalk Bruce, car and girl obsessed, and Asbury Park to the core. He looked like something the cat might have dragged in, but instead decided that it should probably find a less unsavory trophy. With all the fashion making that was happening throughout the mid to late 1970s, the thirty-minute distance between the Newark PATH and CBGB may as well have been a million miles. Even as he [...]

Among the big names set to perform are  Bruce Springsteen ,  Paul Weller and Kasabian , backed by the likes of Miles Kane , Klaxons , The Cribs , Kodaline , Alabama Shakes and Tribes .

As recently reported Live Nation have secured the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park for this years Hard Rock Calling shows and this means Bruce Springsteen might actually get to finish his set this time round. The boss was famously switched off before the end of his show last summer after the restrictive curfew placed on events in Hyde Park meant the noise had to be shut off at a specific time but the change of venue means no such restrictions. The other names confirmed for this years shows include [...]

Kasabian and The Boss have been announced as the headliners for this summer's Hard Rock Calling...

Filed under: Exclusive , The Hit List , Music Appreciation Hulton Archive Did you know that Neil Young has only ever won two Grammy Awards ? In 2009 he scored Best Boxed Or Special Limited Edition Package for that Neil Young Archives Vol. I (1963-1972) box set, then a year later he won Best Rock Song for "Angry World." We'll let that sink in a bit. [...]

(rebroadcast from February, 2010, now with added calcium) I read the news most days. But, unlike my parents and their generation, I don't make a point to watch a news broadcast each day, merely pausing on the news channels if something catches my attention. The other night, as I was watching some basketball, there was a commercial for the local news. It was some perky chick yammering about a murder suspect possibly being loose - or, in the parlance of our legal system, on the lam - in [...]

Protest Music has always been part of American music and it still is today.  It is not something that you hear about on a daily basis but it is always there lurking in the background. In some ways, it is somewhat like the "room of requirement" from Harry Potter in that was always there when it was really needed.  Think about the song Ohio from Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young.  Neil Young wrote the song immediately after David Crosby showed him Life Magazine photos of the National Guard gunning down students at Kent State during an antiwar protest.

All hail the Material Girl! Madonna tops Billboard 's annual Money Makers list this year, after pulling in $34.6 million dollars, almost all of which came from her blockbuster MDNA tour (93.5% to be exact). As music sales dwindle in the digital age and streams (which pay nano-cents on the dollar) become the main player, touring is ever more key to an artist's financial success. Which is why in the No. 2 and 3 spots, respectively, you find Bruce Springsteen ($33.4M) and Roger Waters ($21.2M). According to the magazine, concerts [...]
