Do you remember when rock 'n' roll was fun? When you listened to rock to bang your head and yell the lyrics at the top of your lungs? If you don't remember, or never have, well, it's a shame. Bands like The Darkness, Electric Six, and Andrew WK have made rock fun again, and are continually trying to reclaim rock from the more serious folks. It's easy to toss these bands aside as kitschy and over-the-top, but they just want to show you a good time. Foxy Shazam leads the pack. Their newest release, The Church of [...]

Remember when life was all banging up the stairs, slamming the bedroom door to a Richter scale level, wondering curiously about what exactly a Brian Moloko was and why he had a paper bag on his head while morosely subsisting on a diet of Nirvana and freshly formed tears? No? Well you'll probably enjoy Pulled Apart By Horses . In fact, you've probably been enjoying them since 2010 when their frenetic, speedy Biffy Clyro hi-jinks were first exposed on their eponymous debut. This second offering follows the same pattern of eyes down, cheap vodka chugged, lets rock 'til we [...]

Hemmingbirds are a Chicago-based quartet who make straight-up indie-rock with bucket loads of passion and energy that has led to them being compared to the likes of Arcade Fire and Death Cab For Cutie. They released their debut LP Death Waves in May 2010 but slow and steady word-of-mouth praise means that the bands profile and reputation continues to grow 18 months on from it's release. We caught up with the band who all pitched in with their Favourite Five choices ... [...]

2011 has been one hell of a year for us at IHEARTCOMIX. We went a lot of places, threw a lot of parties, and got very little sleep. From our abandoned mall takeover with Fool's Gold at SXSW to our Miani Mansion with Mad Decent to endless fun at Comic Con with Andrew WK & Dan Deacon to the first ever Check Yo Ponytail Tour , we've certainly set the ball high for 2012. While we have turned our focus to our shows and parties for the [...]

I'm back at it again and for the fourth year in a row I'm revisiting my favorite albums of ten years ago. So far I've done 1998 , 1999 , 2000 and now I'm happy to present 2001. Looking back (and knowing what I do now) here are the 20 albums from 2001 that have really lasted for me. Alkaline Trio - From Here To Infirmary When it comes to these guys, I'm sort of a purist and an asshole when I talk about liking the early stuff better, [...]

Photo credit: Mark 'Harry' Harris The community social club charm of The Dome juxtaposed with the 300-or-so try-hards buzzing around tonight is somehow splendidly fitting for such an occasion as tonight's line-up. It's an inspired booking of such a scarcely employed venue by promoters Upset The Rhythm , and sets the tone for the dream bill for the off-kilter pop crowd. Londoner Maria Minerva opens with her haunting etherealisms, and then it's over to the Yanks, with Gary War sandwiched awkwardly between her and [...]

Come il Subterrean Homesick Blues, ma al quadruplo della velocità con tanto (poco) senso dell'estetica, insomma torna Andrew Wk che fa Andrew Wk (e quindi non roba con Baby Dee o al pianoforte) con il tema portante del World Snowboarding Championship, Go Go Go Go. Sia messo agli atti che su questo sito tra chi ci scrive I Get Wet è stato disco del decennio. E sia messo agli atti che la mia venerazione arriva ad indossare questa maglietta qui. Ho anche testimoni \m/ [...]

Try topping Andrew W.K. 's resume. At age 32, he's tackled myriad genres; everything from heavy metal and punk rock to stately experiments with the piano. A modern-day Mike Patton, if you will. His latest foray finds him collaborating with house producer/DJ extraordinaire and Dim Mak label head Steve Aoki, whose forthcoming Wonderland hits stores next month. In anticipation of the release, W.K.'s reworked Aoki's latest single, the Rivers Cuomo-aided "Earthquakey People", in what's being dubbed as a Trash remix. True to his rep as the world's resident party animal, the remix is a blast [...]

"Once upon a time there was a princess named Baby Dee who had a gift for song. She toured the kingdom with her magic harp, singing songs so sweet and sad that the very birds in the trees stopped to listen." So begin the liner notes to Baby Dee Goes Down To Amsterdam , a recording of a live set from 2009 for VPRO Radio, now seeing the light of day thanks to Coventry label Tin Angel. The notes, by Mary Norris in the style of the Brothers Grimm are a perfect fit [...]
