Pasaron 5 años, para que pudieramos escuchar el 5to disco de esta banda de garage que en sus inicios era meramente punk. The Hives. Aunque, como en el video-documental "Tussles in Brussels" mencionan, cuando ellos empezaron a tocar los punks los veían raro. Pues su música era llena de guitarrazos y una batería que solo te hacía pensar en meterte al slam y golpear a quien tuvieras en frente, pero no su vestimenta. Salían de traje y bien arreglados, a diferencia de la gente que los iba a ver. Tal vez por eso, además de su [...]

This weekend State is heading to the French town of Clermont-Ferrand for Europavox 2012 . It's now seven years since the festival was unveiled for the first time and, while it has made some subtle changes to its format since then, it retains a pan-European theme at its core. The focus is very much centred on emerging Euro talent, but there's also space for established artists and even the odd act from farther afield. And even though the festival announced the cancellation of The Kills' set earlier in the week, this year's edition still boasts one of the strongest [...]

The Afghan Whigs haven't been on TV or around for a minute. Last night saw a rejuvenated act that hadn't been seen in over thirteen years. Let's not take so long next time, eh, Greg? I love the tongue and cheek rock that the Hives bring to the table. It's all frills and you know when you watch those guys on stage, they're giving it their 120%. All the time. They know one speed. GO! the Hives-Go Right Ahead [mp3] the Afghan Whigs-See and Don't See [mp3] [...]

Music Video Roundup by Nick Parker THREE NEW VIDEOS - The last week has seen the release of a number of videos that do not revel in obscure, art-house concepts, nor undermine their music with facile jokes that belie their musical quality (you know who you are). They are, more or less stylized, performance pieces. Thank heaven for that. Here's a roundup of those that stood out to me, for better or worse. [...]

Lilja Birgisdottir Advance album streams are pretty par for the course these days, but if anyone can make it a special occasion, it's Sigur Rós . And they're certainly trying to. Though their new record and first in four years Valtari isn't out until May 29, the band will be offering an advance stream of the record on May 17 - that's today, people - but for only one hour. Dubbed " Valtari Hour" , it will roll across the globe at 7PM local time for [...]

Hace un tiempo que sabemos de la gran vuelta de The Hives. Hace unas cuantas semanas Randal [les estuvo hablando de "Go Right Ahead" , que es la primera canción que la banda dio a conocer después de haber estado tanto tiempo fuera de la escena musical. El track es un tema pegadizo como todos los hitazos que lanzaron a lo largo de su carrera los suecos. En esta oportunidad The Hives baja un poco la ansiedad de sus fanáticos con la presentación del video de la misma canción. [...]
