Starting today, the Holiday Hunger Bundle , a charity project created in conjunction with the Feed Them With Music charity , is open for music fans to bid on four tracks from of Montreal ("Feminine Effects"), OK Go ("All Is Not Lost"), We Are Scientists (an acoustic version of "Central AC"), and Drive-By Truckers ("The Thanksgiving Filter"). Donations for the Holiday Hunger Bundle are up to those donating, but every dollar donated equals one meal provided to someone in need. Also, if they are able to meet their goal of delivering 10,000 [...]
Filed under: News , New Music , New Releases Caitlin Mogridge, Redferns If you've seen the video for OK Go 's 'This Too Shall Pass,' you've probably thought the same as us: "Man, that's a sweeeeet marching band outfit!" So guess what? That bad boy could be yours if you're the highest bidder for the pay-what-you-want Holiday Hunger Bundle , an exclusive charity music compilation featuring unreleased tracks by OK Go ('All Is [...]

BAM! Bet you were expecting a Best of 2011 list, yeah? Well I don't got time for that (YET)! No...this is where I acknowledge all the great stuff I missed in 2010. 'Cause it doesn't get any more rock n roll than to talk about shit that's over a year old. Write that down in your How to Be Rock N Roll notebooks. Anyway, the last time I wrote this list , I spent quite a while talking about how there isn't enough time in one year to listen to all the potentially great releases and put [...]
Here's another thing that would be the lesser without the Bull And Gate: the Camden Crawl. The annual clatter-about-Camden multivenue gig thing has long been anchored, in part, by the B&G. Here's We Are Scientists from this year's Crawl: [Buy: Brain Thrust Mastery ] [Part of Bull And Gate weekend ] -- Visit No Rock & Roll Fun to comment, complain and kvetch

So the previous week I decided to spend my time convincing you to stop what you were doing, sit down, and enjoy a nice relaxing night of (mostly) gentle music to pull at your heartstrings . This week is a little different. Honestly the best thing you could do with this week's album is put it in your car, turn the engine on, and speed off (and by "speed" I mean the speed limit, of course) into the sunset blasting the music. With Love and Squalor by We Are Scientists is what happens when you [...]
We Are Scientists headlined the CMJ 2011 day showcase at Pianos on Saturday. I'm getting spoiled; it was their third free NYC show since June (I won't even tell you how many times I've seen them and their rotating cast of drummers). A cramped room with no backstage; a packed crowd already boozing at five [...]

Los músicos suelen ser personas demasiado inquietas como para conformarse con un solo proyecto entre las manos. Muchas veces nos sorprenden porque descubrimos nuevas facetas que antes no imaginábamos. Andy Burrows es un buen ejemplo. Seguramente todos le conocíamos como el baterista de Razorlight y también de We Are Scientists . Sin embargo, este artista inglés comenzó una trayectoria en solitario allá por el año 2008 con una banda llamada I Am Arrows en la que atreverse con el micro y una guitarra. A juzgar de la continuidad del proyecto, parece [...]

Here's a nice little remix of OK Go's "All Is Not Lost" by Keys N Krates . It's not too heavy on the electronics, and generally didn't hurt my ears (the best kind of remix is one [...]
Ayer mismo Franck Rivoire, el mismisisisimo DANGER publicaba en la triple w lo que va a ser su nuevo directo a partir de ahora, tomando Sidney como punto de partida. Por lo visto ya hizo una presentación allá por Marzo en la ciudad de Zurich, una especie de beta testing que ahora toma fuerza en [...]
We Are Scientists and Ash join forces to fight MS with a cover of 'Washington Parks'
View the full photo set here. On a cobblestone street at the South Street Seaport, in broad daylight with no booze in sight, preceded by a corporate-sponsored breakdancing/hula-hooping act: this was no typical We Are Scientists concert. Yet with kids carrying homemade signs, with no stage (and no stage-diving - a pity), and with the [...]
The Stanley Blacks are a no-gimmicks indie rock band from the UK. Fitting into such a category is presently a tricky maneuver, as many of their counterparts are shrugged off in favor of over-produced, industrial sounds. But the four-piece have stayed true to the purest of music, even if their new album - which is [...]
I do feel that a festival wouldn't be a festival without these three things; A truly great live act, a terrific pair of unashamedly naked breasts, and someone gravely (and most of the time deservedly) injuring themselves due to a moment of awe inspiring stupidity. We shall return to this nugget of festival wisdom in [...]
At a We Are Scientists show, it sometimes seems like the banter is half the fun. Keith and Chris have really perfected their routine, which distracts from the re-tuning of guitars between songs, and provides insightful, possibly (probably) fictional insight into their songs. Looking out over a sea of fans in a soggy field in [...]
A quick peruse through the NME video section revealed a quick little interview clip of several current bands asked to divulge their favorite Smiths track. As usual, they were all over the place. This of course, is a testament to the incredible influence of the band, and the recurring debate on the podcast as to whether a band like the Smiths will ever surface again. See what solid young bands like The Heartbreaks and The Vaccines have to say Here (Pardon Iggy)

We Are Scientists have revealed plans to enter the studio later this year to record their next album. In an interview with NME , frontman Keith Murray announced plans to begin work on the follow-up to 20102s ' Barbara ' by the end of the year. "We are currently working on a follow-up to ' Barbara '. The plan is to record it in the autumn. I will admit that the three of us are very bad at getting work done when we're in the same room, but I think it's going [...]

En el marco de su paso por el festival Isle Of Weight , el conjunto estadounidense de indie rock We Are Scientists , confirmó que comenzará a grabar su nuevo álbum a fines de 2011. "Actualmente estamos trabajando en el sucesor de Barbara" , afirmó Keith Murray a NME luego del show. "El plan es grabar durante el otoño (boreal). Tengo que admitir que [...]

We Are Scientists - It's A Hit "You know before I could've sworn that we were friends But that's how these problems always seem to end" I need to go back to posting important lyrics from songs. Anyways. So I like to think I am open to hearing any type of music once. And I do listen to a lot of different types, but just sometimes I can't get myself to admit I like something, or want to check it out, or just for some reason I just feel like I wanna steer [...]

Can the three lads of UK's Tall Ships fill the void of some energetic, huge, gyrate-approved riffs, that were left by Bloc Party? I think so. Their new single, "Hit The Floor" is gigantic fun, and I have no doubt that it will be roaring through stereos all over the country this summer. As the tracks begins and continues at a frentic pace, the band give itself the freedom to not rush any build up, and instead vow to aim for the perfect moment to explode back in again. These guys are certainly not afraid to be loud, [...]
