The Fishcast is so called because Dolfinz are here recording for our split 123, and erm, well dolphins aren't fish are they, but umm... well it sounded better than The 'Aquatic mammals which look a bit like fish but aren'tcast. Dolfinz played a pretty big drum kit - three toms, three ride cymbals, a double bass drum pedal, and the result was an absolutely frightening racket which must have been shaking the bloody pictures off the walls next door. We're recording the PAWS songs for the split in about ten days' time, and after that I think we'll [...]
Bully Boy Distillers is, oddly enough, Boston's first and only craft distillery. It's weird going to that from Portland where there are a practically a handful of craft distilleries within the city. Bill Politis shot this video of brothers Will and Dave Willis making Bully Boy's Vodka.
Haunting, echoing sonic rock with a The Sonic Youth/The Cardigans kick and, the coup de grace of a Blondie in chill out mode edge to the vocals is the chosen approach, 'Faded Glory'. Jill Sullivan's vocal display is one of variety and her build up to the lofty delivery of the poetic part of the lyrics, lends the song some vocal mystique to go with the murky accompaniment. This expansive, driving atmospheric rock foray is one of the more compelling, meaningful and well built numbers from the hit and miss 'Spitting Daggers' album. It's a song that takes [...]
Filed under: News Eric Charbonneau, WireImage It's no insult to say that newborn Orrin Ryder Homme's mother wears combat boots. In fact, his father does, too. Such are the perks of having rock-star parents. The 7-pound, 12-ounce., bound-to-be-cool redheaded baby boy came kicking and screaming into the world on Friday (Aug. 19), much to the delight of dad Josh Homme -- best known as the singer and guitarist for Queens of the Stone [...]

Photo courtesy of James Minchin III Hardcore punk bands are always interesting; raw, adrenaline-driven energy, teenage angst and fast, rapid-changing guitar riffs, are the usual ingredients to a good punk rock band. The Distillers are a great example of that, and with a charismatic, in-your-face vocalist, such as Brody Dalle, the band developed a strong following for themselves, all the way up until their break up in 2004. The band experienced multiple line-up changes, but managed to release three albums throughout its career. Currently, former members Brody Dalle and Tony Bevilacqua, have [...]

Jesse Hughes es mejor conocido en el mundo del rock por su poblado bigote, carisma escénico y por ser el compañero de aventuras del también miembro de Queens of The Stone Age, Josh Homme , en Eagles of Death Metal. Sin embargo, mientras que en esta banda el dúo explora las arenas del garage rock, Jesse ha decidido ir en una dirección un poco diferente con el lanzamiento de su primer álbum en solitario , el cual llevará por nombre Honkey Kong y será publicado el próximo [...]

A little while ago, almost at the start of our days. A friend of ours was also keen on a music related venture and decided to start up a weekly club night known as Au Haus . The smooth surroundings of an attic have proved popular for the 6 months with nothing but two resident DJ's holding it down on a weekly basis. Musical taste is of the essence at Au Haus and as their first international booking Das Moth couldn't be a more suited selector for the night. One half of the defunct Damn [...]

Filed under: News Eric Charbonneau, WireImage Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme will become a proud papa again this year. The baby will be the second for the rocker and his wife, Brody Dalle , of Spinerette and Distillers fame. "I am up the duff 3 mo's aka bun in the oven, seed in the pumpkin, quid in the ocean, lotion in the basket, hole [...]

Sweeter than your typical atonal guitar tweakers.
Photo by Jason Maris Happy New Year, everybody. It's been a strong start to 2010 (save for whatever-the-hell is going on in my stomach today). To kick off my first post of the new decade, we've got a performance from Atlanta-based avant-rockers, Untied States [ MySpace ]. The group, who have drawn favorable comparisons to Liars , Sonic Youth and Barret-era Pink Floyd , play live in the studios of the Digital Arts Entertainment Lab for the WRAS | indieATL [...]

Eine Supergroup, so kann man sie bezeichnen. Brody Dalle als Frontfrau (Ex- Distillers ), Am Schlagzeug sitzt John Irons (Ex- Red Hot Chili Peppers , Ex- Pearl Jam ), Tony Bevilacqua (Ex- Distillers ) und Alain Johannes (Ex- Queens of the Stone Age und Eagles of Death Metal ). Große Bandnamen also, so groß wie die Musik an sich. Mit dreckigen, [...]

Compiling a list of this magnitude is a daunting task, so we're going to start with a disclaimer. This is "our" favorite albums of the decade and we make no claims that this is the defining, music snob list that you should bow before as you read it. While we shunned the concept initially, we've been disappointed to see a lot of our favorite albums being ignored by the likes of Pitchfork and others. Obviously, there will some overlap (how many Radiohead albums does your list have?), but in general we think this list gives you a [...]

The lovely BATS boys have given us another song of the fantastic album Red In Tooth & Claw to blog before tonight's show in Lavery's Bunker, Belfast. The Cities We Captured will be kicking things of at 9.15pm followed by Axis Of at 10pm with BATS taking to the stage at 10.45pm. Get down early so as not to miss any of the acts. BATS - Gamma Roy Burst: Second Date Don't forget that the regular club continues after with [...]

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive Brody Dalle and her band Spinnerette are set to travel to the North of England this weekend as they kick off a string of sets at the UK's legendary Reading and Leeds festivals. While playing festivals abroad is old hack for Dalle, who hit them all while fronting her last band, the Distillers , the singer revealed to Spinner that she'd been putting in some serious preparation for [...]

why this dude is choking some chick, we have no idea. but we were like, shit if you're gonna choke somebody, and have a picture of you doing it... on your bands myspace, then we're posting it.. so, Adam Freeland is a DJ and producer from the UK, now based in LA. His new LP Cope is co-produced by Alex Metric and showcases a random hodgepodge of musicians including Joey Santiago from The Pixies, Twiggy Ramirez from Marlyn Manson, Tony Bevilacqua of Distillers/Spinnerette and yes the amazingly talented Tommy Lee from Motley Crue. BUT WAIT THERE'S [...]

Kids' music sucks 90 percent of the time, and Jewel isn't helping matters by trying to introduce your impressionable offspring to JUDY GARLAND. Jimmy Fallon's only making matters worse by bringing up the bloated, purple carcass of child music hell: Barney the D-Bag Dinosaur. Late Night with Jimmy Fallon (NBC), July 23 This was supposed to be a metal take on purple lardass Barney's "I Like You" song, but Jimmy can't even do KIDS' SONGS right. It winds up as death-metal douchebaggery with Demi Lovato , who [...]

Be honest. Lately, the music scene has been a pool of pretty calm waters lately, and you've been dipping into your old collection for some feel-good nostalgia. Don't lie, I've been doing it, too. Some Sunny Day Real Estate and Get Up Kids especially, because of recent re-banding and touring announcements. And that's okay; nothing is wrong with a little pure blood recycling. If you're Brody Dalle —who is now known as Brody Dalle-Homme , just to make this [...]

For this edition of my 1000 Minutes I decided to concentrate on some tracks I haven't listened to in awhile, all of which are female fronted and all of which fill me with inspiration and awe. Thats all I'm going to say on this one...enjoy.. 54. The Kills - Cat Claw [3:33] [time remaining 783:57] (Drop Io) (Alt Link YSI) This track, as you know, comes from The Kills 2003 release, 'Keep On Your Mean Side' which was also their full length debut. I genuinely love [...]
