It's been another busy spring of concert announcements coming from all angles. And spring is quickly turning into summer and those shows are more than announcements, they are happening, and soon. One of the next ones we are excited about is with Passion Pit and Cults. We are fans of both bands and think it's a killer bill for a show here in Cincinnati. However, when we saw it was booked at US Bank Arena, we had our doubts. After all, it seems like an awfully big space for those bands, even though they are on the rise. [...]
It's always hard for me to review the Strokes because I'm conscious of being far from objective when it comes to them and that, to counteract my innate subjectivity, I tend to become far too critical. I openly admit to putting them on a pedestal that is so high that even Kanye West's ego wouldn't [...] The post The Strokes' 'Comedown Machine' reviewed appeared first on Cougar Microbes .

Not sure about you, but this was one of my most highly anticipated albums for this year (among a number of others on the way in the near future). Julian Casablancas and The Strokes are making their first return since 20112s Angles and while it's not their best work ever, Comedown Machine doesn't disappoint. The opening track "Tap Out" really sets the tone for the album with some sweet intertwined guitar and bass riffs reminiscent of "Machu Picchu," which was actually the opening track, and my favorite, from Angles . The album rolls right along featuring the albums first official [...]

Spiky, angular guitars jump out at you from the the very first seconds, and Narrow Angles , the debut EP from Carlisle's finest Birds Vs Planes, bursts in to life and sets a pace and tone that never really gives up across the whole record. It's been something of a long time coming for the band, who have been around in some form since 2006, but it's certainly been time well spent; Narrow Angles is an assured, confident and often sparkling debut release and we're very pleased to offer you a full [...]
0,2. Lo pongo con letra, para que quede claro: cero coma dos. Esa era la nota que le ponían en Pitchfork a " Angles ", el disco de los británicos Scroobius Pip y Dan Le Sac, en la crítica que el prestigioso medio norteamericano publicaba en su web en 2008. Recordaba el capón, pero la verdad es que creía que había sido algo así como un dos, o un tres, y lo he comprobado hoy, al empezar a escribir esta entrada: un cero con dos. Y sí, vale que el inglés (justito) de un menda no le permita [...]
Yesterday, we mentioned Phoenix 's long-awaited return , and adding to what has already been an incredible week of news, earlier this morning, Consequence Of Sound noted the imminent return of The Strokes , mentioning that according to 107.7 The End , they recently received "All The Time" from the band's label, RCA - the first single to the New Yorkers' follow-up to 20112s Angles . No further information has [...]
It's A Long Way To Tipperary - Little Green Cars What do you call a ponder pipe that just lays around all day? Mopey Dick. Badum. My first day in London, I was moping like no other. Woke up early. Phoned the prison. Spoke to Kailand. Told me her news - "They keep giving us [...]

San Diego producer/DJ Freddy Gonzales, or better known as Angle has completely revamped Henrix's Encore . Encore 's sound is heavly dutch influenced, with some added vocals and progressive vibes from Morgan Page's Video, Angle's mix is the perfect combination. EnJoy Bonus: The post Morgan Page Ft. Tegan & Sara Vs Henrix - Video (Angle Bootleg) appeared first on Get Lifted Tonight .

If you're like me and grew up with the first two Strokes albums but weren't so crazy about the last two, then you're gonna want to try this out. I made this a long time ago, but decided that it's worth sharing recently, after listening to it quite a bit. But firstly... First Impressions Of Earth , when it came out, was kind of disappointing album - but it was a Strokes album. Why the hell would they keep "On The Other Side" on there when the album was already [...]

Stereogum : Andrew W.K. to speak at the 2012 My Little Pony Convention. Yup. P4K : The Strokes have begun work on their follow-up to 20102s Angles . Or not. Lollapalooza : Set times for the Chicago festival have been announced. Get to work on your schedules. AbsolutePunk : Bat for Lashes announces she'll be releasing a new album, The Haunted Man , on October 15th. Scheduled some [...]
Lee Ranaldo de Sonic Youth acaba de publicar su nuevo disco en solitario, Between The Times And The Tides , y, como corresponde, está promocionándolo por las vías tradicionales. Hace unas semanas estuvimos descubriendo el particular homenaje que el artista le hizo a Nueva York en el primer videoclip extraído del álbum. Ahora, el guitarrista nos presenta el clip para "Angles". Ha sido dirigido por su mujer, Leah Singer, y la verdad, el argumento de las imágenes no tiene mucho sentido aparentemente. Se puede resumir en una chica que escapa de algo o [...]

Lee Ranaldo , guitarrista de Sonic Youth, se encuentra promocionando su nuevo material solista Between The Times And The Tides . Como parte de esa promoción, Ranaldo estrenó el video de “Angles” dirigido por su esposa, Leah Singer. El video es protagonizado por una joven a quien se le ve un tanto atribulada corriendo por las calles de Nueva York y por Lee Ranaldo a quien podemos ver feliz de la vida balanceando su guitarra en un callejón. Sin más preámbulos, [...]

Caleb Price is a 49 year old 1st generation American who immigrated here from Bratislava in 1992. She makes a living by traveling to rural areas of the midwest and the adjoining bible belt where she frightens superstitious rubes into giving her money and expensive cutlery by pretending to be a powerful sorceress . It's a dangerous line of work - there's always the chance she'll be caught, in which case she'll surely face public immolation in some remote Nebraskan town square - but she prefers it to her previous career back home in Slovak Republic, which consisted of [...]

Seeing how our staff has distinct tastes and opinions on music, it would be nearly impossible for us to determine a 10 Albums of 2010 list as a single entity without excessive bloodshed. So over the next couple of days, we’ll be posting Top 10 Albums of 2011 lists as determined by individual Loud Loop Press staff members. Today, contributor Britni Day body slams us with her list for Top 10 Albums of 2011. This year, I felt like I was inundated with a lot of crap on the radio. If I wasn’t learning Jagger’s moves [...]

Kyle Hubbard - It's Making Sense Houston MC, Kyle Hubbard, reached out to us via mail with "It's Making Sense", digging the mellow style. Produced by Niko Prange This one is called "It's Making Sense" and with it I tried to look at struggle from various angles, but at the same time I tried to highlight the fact that it all meets in the middle in the end. This song will be featured on my upcoming album which I hope to have released early 2012. - Kyle [...]

There are certain labels that transcend genre / mood / time / style and just exist in their own unique stratosphere. Unaware of any outside influence, their vision so pure and true that every release - no matter from which artist - slots together like a jigsaw puzzle. Force Majeure are a small collective of producers, musicians, artist and visionaries from Stockholm - each release, no matter what format, is always treated with the same attention to detail and passion and, in turn, creates music so effortlessly 'cool' that it feels completely insulting to even use the term. [...]

Hace tan sólo unos meses los chicos de The Strokes estaban grabando Angles , la que fue su producción que le permitió volver con toda la fuerza, pero las noticias que nos llegaban cuando estaban dentro del estudio durante un tiempo no eran demasiado alentadoras. De hecho en oportunidades se informó que la agrupación grababa con los instrumentos por un lado y, Julian Casablancas , por otro porque no quería cruzarse con sus compañeros. Esas cosas quedaron en el pasado y ahora la agrupación [...]
