And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead is a veteran Austin, TX-based pop-punk metal hardcore rock band that has blown the minds of many audiences in their decade or more together. Their songs are anthems, even if you can't hear them past their hardcore volume, but you know, you should. Cuz their songs are brilliant loud exercises in intellectual and physical ferocity. The band's new CD is called " Lost Songs " and it's described by head Dead guy Conrad Keely (in this Paste Magazine interview ) as a natural extension [...]
The other gravestone they had photographed, "Wiczenowski," didn't have quite the feel they were going for. Urge Overkill (1992) Neil Diamond (1967) Today's Cover Friday post is the final one in my series of songs written by Neil Diamond and covered with chart success by other groups. And it's a good thing too, I have to say: as much as I love the early Neil Diamond songs from his Bang Records years, there's something a little odd about the fact that four [...]
Jack White had an anniversary celebration for his Nashville-based Third Man Records store and studio back in March, celebrating three years in existence. Lucky for us, he recorded it. White plans to release the two-disc live set as part of the Third Man Records' Vault Package #14 . White's performance [...]
Occasionally an alt. rock band bubbles to the surface that we can't get enough of. To our delight, today is that day. A Lion Named Roar has the X-factor – pop-laced hooks and an ear-grabbing ensemble like band we’ve loved in the past such as Fair and Siberian . There’s a youth to their latest track “This Won’t Last For Long” both electrifying and wittingly-accessible. As the band’s bio describes, they are “pop music drenched in blue collar sweat and moral fiber”. There’s not much [...]
Working hard on their upcoming untitled third album, The Airborne Toxic Event aren't too busy to take time away to share new songs with fans. The band is planning a few upcoming dates for the winter in December and January next year. Check out the new dates after the [...]
Mmmm . . . guacamole. For some reason, I didn't trust Pearl Jam when their debut album, Ten , came out in 1991. That is, I liked it, but didn't really know if this was just a band getting lucky with some good songs or if it was the beginning of something truly great. Somehow, Nirvana's Nevermind was clearly great, but Ten wasn't as obvious to me. But I think part of that was just me, not giving the album the full attention it deserved, because I later [...]
Molti pensano ancora che la musica Creative Commons sia musica di qualità inferiore, che sia l'ultima spiaggia per chi non trova un contratto discografico e che le licenze 'alternative' abbiano campo fertile soprattutto in ambienti ben definiti, come la dance o il jazz. Quando a queste argomentazioni obbietto che i Nine Inch Nails , per fare l'esempio più noto di band CC, non fanno né dance né jazz e che molti dei gruppi che incidono sotto Creative Commons hanno pure un'etichetta alle spalle, per cui quella di abbracciare il 'copyleft' è una scelta [...]
I Grandaddy non si sono mai sciolti veramente, il loro spirito ha continuato a vivere nei lavori di Jason Lytle che, in fondo, della band era qualcosa di più che il semplice frontman, molto di più. Così come i Grandaddy sono stati molto più che una band "indie", infatti hanno incarnato perfettamente lo spirito (e l'iconografia) e creato il suono che hanno dato il nome ad un genere che ha segnato e, ineluttabilmente massacrato, un decennio. La California dei garage bassi sotto il sole bianco, l'abbigliamento da boscaioli, le barbe lunghe, la bassa fedeltà [...]
Placebo have released a video of their single, "B33, the title track from their new five-song EP, that came out this week through Universal/UMe. A new album from the trio, Brian Molko (guitar/vocals), Stefan Olsdal (bass) and Steve Forrest (drums), is set to follow sometime in 2013. Watch the video for "B33 after [...]

Gritty guitars, lap-steel, and finger-picking support vocal harmonies and traditional keyboard tones. The sound conjures the southern countryside, civil war battlefields and backroad watering holes. Influences include Drive By Truckers, Jack White and Neil Young. The eponymous debut album was available on October 16th, 2012. The album was recorded entirely in the analog realm, at producer-songwriter Matt Singleton’s studio in the Central Virginia countryside. `We wanted to produce a record that was warm, immediate, and [...]
Siamo ormai al sesto full length per i Raveonettes , ossia il duo composto da Sune Rose Wagner e dalla "platinata" Sharin Foo . E' tempo dunque per fare qualche bilancio. Come verranno ricordati i danesi nella storia della musica? Folgorante fu l'esordio, l'indimenticabile "Chain Gang of Love", uscito nel 2003, e cioè durante la prima fase di espansione di quell'estetica fortemente retrò e "emul" che oggi ci sembra così inflazionata. Insomma parliamo di chitarre jangly e fuzzy e la catena di Gesù e Maria e il Velluto di New York e il sunshine-pop, [...]
Photo Credit Brad Conrad "Everything about Canadian power-duo Indian Handcrafts seems to defy possibilities: a two piece that's louder than a hundred bands, kicking out one of the year's most riff-rollicking albums that was recorded while the guitarist had a broken hand! They're two friendly, soft-spoken Canadian guys sounding like the Funkadelic Mothership crash landing on top of the Planet Caravan in Interstellar Overdrive. Bursting out of Barrie, Ontario this pair of charming gentlemen immediately impacted the world with a self-released 8-song debut album in 2011. Cathy Pellow of Sargent House quickly took notice and signed [...]
A typically odd way to break the silence. Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter pull together this 15-minute looped mix of tracks by late blues artist Junior Kimbrough to accompany Hedi Slimane’s YSL debut.
★★★★ The idea of something “handwritten” seems almost foreign in this day and age. What with the spread of e-communications, computers, and the advancement of technology in general, the commonality of handwriting something is rare, but adds to its significance. The significance of handwriting is one of two things that The Gaslight Anthem seem to want to harken back to on their fourth studio album, Handwritten , released July 24 th on Mercury Records. Radio also plays a significant part in the romance that frontman Brian Fallon conjures on the album, as he sings in “Mulholland [...]

Photo Credit Ashley Woo "Ernest D’amaso, Michael R.P. Morales and Willie Chen created Generator Ohm in 2010. Their union, facilitated by the genesis of EndAnd, took place in the heart of Brooklyn. Because of the friendly, cooperative, and productive environment of King Killer Studios, where Gen Ohm calls home, their certain fate was sealed on the terms of the affable and the dreamer. This was a place where musical endeavors could blossom: A place where work could be accomplished. And by the summer of 2012, Generator Ohm had produced in the company of [...]
Quando ascolti un disco dei Dinosaur Jr post – quasi – miracolosa – reunion sai già cosa aspettarti. Volume da sordità permanente indipendentemente dal tipo di pezzo, talmente alto che cuffie o casse che dir si voglia implorano pietà singhiozzando. Riff mostruosi e l’inconfondibile voce di J. che canta come se volesse ipnotizzarti o farti un incantesimo, incalzata dal basso di Lou Barlow e dalla batteria di Murph . In questo, “I Bet On Sky” non è diverso dai predecessori. Riprendono da dove avevano lasciato, i Dinosauri, riannodando i fili di [...]
