As Ladyhawke gears up the for release of sophomore album Anxiety , she's leaving a few treats along the way. Brit-rocker outfit The Big Pink take on lead single Black White & Blue - stripping out the guitars and amping up the drums. Nice one! Check out an excerpt of her interview with Spin below. "My passion for the guitar never went away," says Brown in regard to her new sonic direction. "When I was [...]

The Civil Wars @ Paramount Theatre - January 19 "Delicate" can be a dirty word; a few shades in the wrong direction and your sound is too quaint, or too cutesy, or too precious, or too twee, or so ethereal as to be vapor. So you have to hand it to Joy Williams and John Paul White, the singing, strumming duo that comprise The Civil Wars . They lean delicate and almost effortlessly find that sweet spot where gentle meets rich, holding steady in that spot with a combination of slightly mischievous personality, rock-solid chemistry, [...]
O'Brother Exclusive Interview: O'Brother January 29, 2012 by Chuck Norton The moral of the fable about the tortoise and the hare is that those lacking focus and determination have the opportunity to exceed the success of those whose effort is compromised by a tendency to dillydally. In the context of music, this is often the case. When the band O'Brother formed in 2006 in Atlanta it would have been difficult to predict that, six years later, the band would find [...]
Mr Fogg is good. Not only is his song 'Stay Out Of The Sun' superb, it's got a great video (as seen above) and you can get it for free from his website . I asked him to choose a few songs that he likes to listen to and these are the ones he came up with. Listening to them gives you an insight into how Mr Fogg has come to sound the way he does. It's enlightening and thoroughly enjoyable. So without further ado, here is Mr Fogg's selection... [...]

The Ottawa, Ontario hard rock band Animal Confession plans to invade your ears and penetrate your brains in 2012 with their debut album. Comprised of Andrew Gharib (vocals, guitar) and Patrick Quesnel (bass), Animal Confession's music combines the gritty toughness of Deftones, with the moodiness of Smashing Pumpkins and The Cure. Properly targeted music may [...]

Quick Hits - All the Saints - Half Red, Half Way from "Intro to Fractions" out January 30 on Souterrain Transmissions [...]
Goddamn, am I excited for a new All the Saints record. Maybe not five-year-old girl with a sack of puppies excited, but definitely STOKED. And even if Intro to Fractions sounds like the title of an album MATH4EVA would abandon his basement apartment to make, I doubt if you'll hear many arpeggiated guitars or schizophrenic time changes when it comes out. What you will get, though, is more of the colossal guitar thunder and mind-bending space grooves the band has become known for. Bank on it. I'm not usually one to lay grand expectations [...]
"Sulk" verschlingt den Hörer und spuckt ihn erst nach 4,5 Minuten wieder aus. Robert Alfons und Austra-Drummerin Maya Postepski haben nicht Radiohead gecovert, sondern das Gefühlswanken in einer Freitagnacht eingefangen. Die wabernde Single von Trust pickst in die nächtliche Euphorie und lässt die Partyblase platzen. Zurück bleibt eine Schweremütigkeit, die erst beim nächsten Lied abgestreift werden kann. "Sulk" ist der letzte Song vom kommenden Debüt "TRST", welches Ende Monat erscheinen wird. Weitere Artikel zum Thema: [...]
La escena indie francesa está dominada en la actualidad por Justice, Air o Yelle, pero Stuck In The Sound es una de esas formaciones que necesitan un pequeño empujón más para alcanzar el éxito mundial. Su nuevo disco, Pursuit , se publicará el próximo 30 de enero y puede ser su gran oportunidad para conseguir el reconocimiento internacional. En la nota de prensa la banda cita como sus principales influencias a Nirvana, The Pixies, Smashing Pumpkins, y Sonic Youth y, la verdad, razón no les falta. El [...]
Corey Taylor , vocalista do Slipknot e do Stone Sour , divulgou em seu twitter que gravou música com Dave Grohl , líder do Foo Fighters , e Butch Vig , responsável pela produção de álbuns como Nevermind , do Nirvana , e Gish do Smashing Pumpkins . "Uma grande meta da minha lista de coisas para fazer antes de morrer foi marcada hoje - gravei com Dave Grohl e Butch Vig (...)", disse um emocionado Corey na rede social. [...]
No Band For Lluvia es uno de esos grupos con reminiscencias noventeras que tanto nos gustan en La Isla y Dead End, su álbum de debut, un disco a reivindicar. Lluvia Rojo, como representante de la banda, nos visitó para hablarnos de ese trabajo y de su próximo concierto en Madrid. La conversación acabó derivando –cómo no- en otros asuntos. La verdad es que pasamos un rato la mar de agradable. Compruébenlo. LA ISLA DE ENCANTA 377 [...]
A LIFE IN A YEAR OF GIGS : #2 : SWEDE SOUL MUSIC After the experience of the local hip-hop scene in week one, your humble scribe and his sidekick Aldo decided to get on more familiar ground in week two. And to avoid the possibility of us having to leave early and miss the headline act as had happened with Mackenzie and Swad , we decided to make it a Friday night out. There were two gigs vying for our attention – [...]
If one had to choose the all-around best venue to see The Civil Wars live, it would have to be the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. Not only is Music City home to the folk duo, but the history, architecture and exceptional acoustics of the city's famous "Mother Church of Country Music" combine for the ideal setting to take in The Civil Wars' Americana bare-boned sound. Thursday night's sold-out crowd knew that they were in for something special. The absence of ticket scalpers was a [...]
Hat man sein Herz ersteinmal an eine Band verloren, wünscht man sich von dieser Band, dass sie sich möglichst niemalsnie verändert. AC/DC, Motörhead oder die Ramones sind auf dieser Schiene jahrzehntelang unfallfrei gefahren. "Ihr seid nicht die Ramones, denkt euch was neues aus", textet die Trierer Punkrock-Kapelle Love A auf ihrem tollen Debütalbum, ein Appel zu mehr Mut und Kreativität! Eine gravierende musikalische Veränderung geht allerdings selten kritiklos an einer Band vorüber (bestes Beispiel in diesem Jahr: Dredg). Als absolut begrüßenswert empfand ich die Erweiterung des musikalischen Kosmos allerdings bei Iron & Wine und Ghost Of Tom Joad. Dass „Black [...]
After living in London for 2 years, I've noticed that unless it's a big name act, DJ sets for the most part don't get nearly as wild as the ones in North America, and crowds are often much more subdued. It feels like DJs take their forever building the energy, and by the time they drop it big, it's too little, too late. This of course isn't all the time, nor is it every DJ - or maybe I just spend too much time partying in West London. Either way, I wanted to create a mixtape that encompasses my favourite [...]
