In Foster the People 's new clip for "Houdini", the band tragically gets trampled by their stage and die within the first 10 seconds. Their shady record label won't stand by this though, and make the band into marionettes, who develop some pretty stellar boy-band eqsue choreographed dance moves. How else are they going to finish their video shoot, and make it over to the El Rey for a sold out gig? I'm glad that with all the success the band has achieved over the last year, they have never lost their dark humor and insanely creative [...]
I'm not really a big fan of Foster The People; however, I'll admit that their new video for their single, "Houdini", is actually entertaining. The video plays as an homage to Weekend At Bernie's , and if you're too young to know what I'm talking about, head over to Netflix. The video even acknowledges that they're essentially a boy band with guitars and a keyboard with their all white wardrobe reminiscent to Backstreet Boys. Watch Foster The People's "Houdini" below.

Foster The People are killed and used as puppets in their newest clip and single for 'Houdini' from the critically acclaimed ' Torches ' which is available now. Watch the creative visual above.
The long wait for some new Foster The People is finally over with the Record Store Day release of the brand new track, "Ruby," alongside previously released bonus track, "Broken Jaw" on a sweet little 7-inch vinyl. "Ruby," the focus for today, has that same voice that we know and love from Mark Foster, but the feeling of the song itself is much different than anything we heard from last year's Torches . This isn't a bad thing by any means but this band is definitely seeing what other directions they can stretch with this [...]
Torche Harmonicraft Volcom Entertainment [2012] Fire Note Says: Torche continues to evolve as Harmonicraft contains some great edgy rock moments. Album Review: This is an album that I bet people have been waiting for and didn't even know it as the Miami band Torche returns with one of their most accessible rock records to date. The album does not set any new rules for the [...]
Yes, I know this could easily do without the cheesy introduction, but I'm feelin' good and I like to hear myself speak. So please, let me welcome you all to the very first installment of The Weekly Injection. Every Tuesday I'll be telling you who's releasing stuff, where it's coming from, what it sounds like, ...
Name : Torche Progress Report : Steve Brooks talks about the band's new album Harmonicraft . Sludge-pop metalheads Torche are having a busy 2012. Not only did the band make waves by having a bat pee in their guitarist's eye a few weeks ago, they also released an excellent new single called " Kicking " and are currently in the middle of a tour across the US. This week the band unleashes Harmonicraft , their third album and first recording to feature new guitarist Andrew Elstner. The new album continues [...]
It's hard to believe after all the projects that Jack White has been involved with over the years that he's only just now getting to his first solo album. Blunderbuss tops this week's list of new releases, and if you're fan of The White Stripes, The Raconteurs or The Dead Weather, grabbing this one is a no brainer, though you'll get a you'll definitely be in for some surprises. As our Music Director, Don Yates, says, it "features a more expansive and diverse sound than anything's he's recorded with, masterfully combining elements of garage-rock, folk-rock, blues, country, ragtime, [...]

Hopefully we helped make the transition as smooth and as painless as possible for you and your artist(s). This month, we are going to walk you through three things that have proven to be highly effective for ...
The underground metal landscape is a rocky and striated one, full of sub-sections and micro-scenes, so it's hard to make any sweeping generalizations about it. But here's one: Over the last 20 years or so, underground metal as a whole has become less and less hospitable to any concept of metal, which makes the Miami band Torche a total outlier. Among their scuzz-rocking peers, Torche are the rare band willing to release an EP of Guided By Voices covers , or to claim Superchunk as influences. Their 2008 album Meanderthal is beloved in extreme-metal circles, and it's [...]
Do you like salmon? Irrelevant! The only thing that is relevant? Death Grips' new album! There is other stuff out today but Money Store is first on my list. Actress: R.I.P.

In which the brawny but somewhat clinical roil of Miami's hardest-rocking export becomes a rousing, universal sprint. It's about damn time. Not just for a new Torche album -- though it has been a solid four years -- but for an album like this: a muscular barrage of ear-filling power riffs and dogged rhythm that sounds uplifting without being masked in grandiose pretension. Where so many of their contemporaries thrash or jitter as a way to mask their lack of any real force, these Floridian sludgers know the inherent joy in noisy...
by BBG High on Fire at the BV/POTR Deathmatch ( more by Greg Cristman ) Knowing the High on Fire guys, it's safe to say that the Oakland metal trio will probably try to tour their asses off on the strength of their recent LP De Vermis Mysteriis '. Continuing to prove that true, now comes word that the band will headline a pair of NYC shows which will also feature appearances from [...]

I'm listening to Torche's Harmonicraft for the first time myself as I'm sitting here typying this, but just a few songs in, I'm ready to give it a thumbs up. The cover art - which I think is really, really cool - is a bizarrely perfect visual representation of the music on the album: it's all [...]
