Tom Hutchins is the Top Dog over at WE TALK YOU DIE , a blog dedicated to what’s new and different in music scenes here and overseas. He is also one of our dedicated Sub-Editors here at Purple Sneakers. When he’s not busy writing and dealing with music related business, he’s most likely catching up with Friends… the TV show. But since he only has access to 4 episodes a day (thanks for that Freeview), we got him to sit down and sift out his Top 10 Soundcloud tracks. Take it away dude! [...]
What do you get if you put THE SMITHS, THE KILLERS and KIRSTY MacCOLL together? Probably something like post punk rising star LOUISE AUBRIE. The London-born sensation started out recording at the renowned Mill Hill Music Complex in North London. It wasn’t long after that AUBRIE headed to New York to put her stamp on The post Louise Aubrie – The Honoured Alibi appeared first on Nothing But Hope And Passion - NBHAP - Music Magazine & more .
O Buchanan vai lançar o debut dia 10 de maio e já avisou que não veio pra brincadeira. Produzido por Catherine Marks (que trabalhou com Foals e Interpol ) e masterizado no lendário Abbey Road, o primeiro registro dos australianos de Melbourne já mira alto antes mesmo de ser oficialmente lançado, e mesmo quem ainda não conhece a banda já está com o disco no radar. Formado no fim de 2009 e liderado pelo vocalista Josh Simons, o Buchanan promete trazer um registro repleto de canções indie pop eletrizantes, ou pelo menos é isso que [...]
I used to be madly in love with The Killers. When I was living in Italy, I used to go for a run on the seafront, with Sam's Town on my mp3 player. Read My Mind was always my favourite, probably also because it has the cutest video. Day & Age was still alright, but [...]
Lollapalooza Brazil 's return to Sao Paulo for the third year in a row went off without a hitch March 29-31, despite competition organizers faced from Rock in Rio, the largest festival in the world, also based in Brazil. Notable acts included The Hives, Pearl Jam, and Of Monsters & Men, et al; catch some of the highlights here. Lollapalooza Chile , which is newer relative to the Brazilian version, featured headliners Pearl Jam and the Black Keys, with support from Deadmau5, The Killers, Queens of the Stone Age, Nas, A Perfect [...]
Se a Escócia é a nova Suécia em termos de novidades musicais ainda é muito cedo pra afirmar, mas os escoceses do CHVRCHES , que por si só já servem como um bom argumento para tal afirmativa, acabou de nos dar mais um belo motivo para acreditarmos no fato. Apresentados nesta manhã através do próprio Facebook da banda, conheça agora os também escoceses do Prides , trio formado pelos amigos Lewis, Callum e Stewart que já andaram fazendo música sob o nome de Midnight Lion, mas que agora chegam revigorados sob um novo nome e um excelente novo single para dar o [...]
I'm really enjoying this new track from So Sexual , a Liverpool act who seem to have more in common with the sound of rival city, Manchester. You can't take away the nod to Joy Division , or perhaps even a darker version of the Killers . I think the vocals have a higher tonal quality than they might lead on, so you can see that it's more than just an average knock-off. The band just released a single with Bleeding Gold Records , and you can grab [...]
CHANGE is the future. Everyone and their mothers seem to be "in the studio" throwing together a couple paired tracks, slapping breakdowns and drops together that they feel work well. CHANGE puts an end to the monotony, and impresses us with a unique approach to a handful of popular singles. Containing Deadmau5 ' "Aural Synapse", Matthew Koma 's "Sparks", Audien 's "Wayfarer", The Killers' "Miss Atomic Bomb" along with Zedd and Nicky Romero's "Human", the mashup pairs aspects of all releases without jumping predictably from drop to breakdown to acapella. Aural [...]
Lollapalooza single-day tickets reportedly sold out within an hour of going on sale this week. Since three-day passes were already gone, that left only some overpriced travel packages. What's stunning is that this mad rush for Lolla tickets was achieved with the stellar headliner lineup of Mumford & Sons, the Killers and the Cure . I'm still floored that Mumford is a headliner at Lolla. But think of the possibility for next year? Taylor Swift ? Adele ? Any finalists from American Idol? Gotta get Dave Matthews, John Mayer [...]
We have quite the affinity for Fireball over here at TMN headquarters. There's nothing quite like it to get you in the party mood. So, grab a pint, throw it in the freezer, and let that baby cool down before you start partying tonight. In the meantime, enjoy this tasty selection of party inducing tracks to quench your insatiable need to boogie. #danceirresponsibly ZIP COMING SOON
Por Bárbara Villoslada La noche de un domingo ventoso y nublado era el clima que acompañaba a más de 25 mil personas en GEBA durante la espera por The Killers en su tercera visita a la Argentina. La presentación de su último álbum de estudio Battle Born (2012) es el objetivo de la gira que los está haciendo recorrer varios países latinoamericanos para reencontrarse con sus cálidos fanáticos. En esta oportunidad, la banda liderada por Brandon Flowers fue teloneada por Hipnótica e [...]
The Lollapalooza lineup was officially announced Monday and, yes, Mumford & Sons is a headliner. Granted, the big fest hasn't been cutting edge for years but can we agree that Saturday's headliner, Mumford & Sons, is a new low? The other top acts are Friday's headliner the Killers and Sunday's top act, the Cure . I'm sorry. I just nodded off thinking about it. Nine Inch Nails, the Postal Service and Phoenix are also listed near the top of the bill. No doubt at least two of the [...]
![[Watch] Lollapalooza’s Official Lineup Announced](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4864078_lg.jpg)
On August 2-4th, Lollapalooza returns to Grant Park for another year of ridiculousness. Perhaps the biggest headline is Chance The Rapper's closing set at the BMI Stage, Friday night.

The bill features headliners including, The Killers, Nine Inch Nails, The Cure, Phoenix, Mumford & Sons, Vampire Weekend and more. Other notable acts are Kendrick Lamar, Major Lazer, Ellie Goulding, Thievery Corporation, Grizzly Bear, 2 Chainz, Wavves, Bauuer, and the list continues after the jump. 3-day passes go on sale Wednesday.
Today Lollapalooza announced their 2013 lineup, and it's a good one. Headliners are The Cure, The Killers, Nine Inch Nails, Phoenix, The Postal Service, Vampire Weekend, The National, New Order, Queens Of The Stone Age, and (bleh) Mumford & Sons. Then you got Kendrick Lamar, Grizzly Bear, Band Of Horses, Major Lazer, Hot Chip, Local Natives, Two Door Cinema Club, Crystal Castles, Lana Del Rey, Beach House, Cat Power, Frightened Rabbit, Alt-J, Foals, Smith Westerns, The Vaccines, Father John Misty, DIIV, Heartless Bastards, Haim, Jessie Warem Wild Nothing, Wavves, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Icona Pop, Jake Bugg, [...]
Lollapalooza , el festival que se lleva acabo durante el verano en el Grant Park de Chicago , tiene y su cartel cerrado y hoy da a conocer los actos que se presentarán del 2 al 4 de Agosto del este año. Las expectativas aumentaron de unos días para acá cuando se coló -como siempre- un cartel "falso", para sorpresa de muchos, el cartel oficial es muy similar al infiltrado y entre los headliners encontramos a The Cure , Mumford & Sons , The Killers , NIN y Postal Service. A continuación, el video donde pueden [...]
After a few rumored headliners and alleged leaked lineups, the official Lollapalooza roster is here. The Chicago festival is absolutely stacked this year (though it's a bit light on hip-hop), with Mumford & Sons and The Killers on the top line, along with comebacks from The Cure and Nine Inch Nails for all the grown-up goth kids. Other pop acts with top billing include The Postal Service , The Lumineers , Kendrick Lamar , Lana Del Rey (!), Ellie Goulding and Tegan and Sara . [...]
Si hay algo que tiene The Killers es que funcionan a la perfección como grupo. Brandon Flowers no solo tiene una voz perfecta y potente sino que también es un gran showman sobre los escenarios; David Keuning logra unos riffs y punteos que logran clavarse en el cerebro; Mark Stoermer con su bajo y pelos locos; y Ronnie Vannucci Jr. que tiene una fuerza en la batería que contagia a cada uno de los espectadores. Ayer The Killers en GEBA (Club de Gimnasia y Esgrima de Buenos Aires) dio un show en el que tocaron 16 canciones que [...]
We love Lollapalooza for its always amazing lineup, great backdrop with the Chicago skyline and, of course, the lobster corn dogs . The 2013 lineup is here and as rumored Nine Inch Nails, The Killers, Queens of the Stone Age, The Cure, Phoenix, Vampire Weekend and more have joined this year's roster. Here's the full lineup by day: FRIDAY The Killers Nine Inch Nails New Order Queens of the Stone Age Steve Aoki Thievery Corporation Lana Del [...]
After leaking last week, pushing the official announcement to today instead of next week, the 2013 Lollapalooza lineup is now out, and man is it killer. Taking place from August 2nd through 4th in Chicago's centric Grant Park, the festival, which has been held in Chicago since 2005 has booked what can probably be considered its best lineup in years. Headlining the festival this year are The Cure (!!), Mumford & Sons , The Killers , Nine Inch Nails [...]
Foto: Cambria Harkey/ Divulgação Lollapalooza Brasil Quando Brandon Flowers subiu ao palco, ele não disse "hi" ou "olá". Brandon mandou de cara "I'm coming out of my cage, and I've been doing just fine...". O vocalista do The Killers não precisava começar o show, que encerrou o primeiro dia de apresentações da segunda edição brasileira do Lollapalooza , com o maior hit da sua banda. Ali, a maioria das cerca de 50 mil pessoas presentes no evento estavam interessadas em seu show. Mas ao escolher Mr. Brightside como faixa [...]
