US Psych-Rockers FireBug return to the UK for Sonisphere Festival US psych-rockers FireBug will grace UK shores again this month for some rare club dates followed by an appearance at the, fast-becoming-legendary, Sonisphere Festival . With influences from Zeppelin to Pink Floyd , the four-piece, fronted by the captivating Juliette Tworsey , always get a great reception on our side of the pond, and this visit looks set to be no exception. Buy CDs, MP3s, [...]

Passados três meses, já deu para notar que, como no ano passado, quando demos início a um exercício diário de acompanhar as movimentações nacionais mais de perto aqui no Bloody Pop, a música brasileira em 2010 vai muito bem, obrigado.

[I go off the beaten path, maybe even off the rails. You decide ...] Los Angeles is a city of vast distances, and differences. Of this I was reminded a couple nights ago when, standing in line for a random show, an acquaintance asked me what I thought about the Grammys (coming Sunday evening to a city near you).
