Airborne Toxic Event get lost in a search for love on a bloated third LP, Such Hot Blood . It isn't entirely clear if Airborne Toxic Event exists as a vehicle for Mikel Jollett to talk about girls or if girls exist for Mikel Jollett to write about them. Either narrative wouldn't tell the whole story of Jollett's band or their ambitious and troubling third LP, Such Hot Blood, but it would begin to narrow the frame a bit. This proves a less than original thesis for the genre, mainstream rock and roll, and...

LA's alternate rock band, the Airborne Toxic Event , have just released their eagerly anticipated third album, ‘ Such Hot Blood ,’ and to celebrate, they have shared a special acoustic video for 'True Love’ from their new LP above. Having followed them from the beginning, FGTW has seen ATE in action on stage and off. To which we can attest they are known for this type of sonic grandiosity and this performance above is atypical of the band's intimate but highly charged emotional appeal. If you like a band that can make you feel like your [...]

I consider myself to be a big fan of The Airborne Toxic Event and I really wanted to love this album on my first listen. However that wasn’t the case. I actually had to listen to it three times to even decide how I felt about this album. On my first listen the first track “The Secret” just sounded like it was trying to be another “Sometime After Midnight” which it could never be. “Timeless”, which was released as the first single off  Such Hot Blood , I felt was a little flat. The only tracks [...]

Facebook's ads are killing me.  They're not just annoying my Facebook experience, they're also hurting this blog. GBU has its own Facebook page.  We have have a modest amount of followers.  Now I can't speak for all my followers but I know when I like a page, it's because I want to get updates from that page.  For awhile, that was happening.  But now, Facebook is asking me to pay to advertise

The Airborne Toxic Event 's third album, 'Such Hot Blood', will be released next week on Island, and ahead of it, here's an acoustic version of 'The Storm', one of the tracks that feature on the new release. They were the first band I ever covered live as a music writer, so it's great to see that the band are still going strong and still uncompromising. Watch the video below. Last night in Minneapolis was the first night of their current North American tour, with our Dublin friends Kodaline as support. [...]

Whilst searching through the impressive list of articles the genius AMBY team have produced over the past six months, I was a little taken aback at the sheer quantity of quality writing that has emerged. I was dismayed to notice that so many of the bands I had been looking forward to writing about had been covered, but then relieved to note that the respective authors had done a far better job than I ever could. I was however, a little surprised that nobody had introduced you to The Airborne Toxic Event. Whilst I am unsure as to [...]

Jumping in the pit, joining the crowd, jumping on shoulders, it was a happy blur of musical madness.

Who: The Airborne Toxic Event at the main stage In 3 or Fewer Words: So it goes. Memorable Because: The ever-divisive Airborne Toxic Event's career is well catalogued in the annals of Buzz Bands LA, as well as on my own blog . But in recent years the band's narrative has exhausted all the story beats, and so here we are, the Airborne Toxic Event busted down from their late afternoon set in 2009 to an early day slot in 2013. It was perfectly [...]
