Here we have another talented new band coming out of the UK with a recently released single that is definitely starting to turn heads. The band is called Isolated Atoms and their single is called Tell Me What I Want . After giving the song a few listens , I can definitely say that I want to hear more from the band. Stylistically the song, to me evoked thoughts of dance-rock also-rans, Every Move A Picture and the Killers (circa the first half of Hot Fuss ) with its energy and overall vibe. The band definitely appears to [...]

"Playing a lot of these festivals, I'm always the resident freak show," Juliette Lewis tells Spinner. "I joke I'm like the bearded lady cause not only am I female playing what's considered male-dominated rock 'n' roll, but I'm also an actress." Lewis is [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , New Music , Exclusive Irene, a member of Cincinnati pop act Bad Veins , is truly the perfect band mate. The 36-year-old is always on time. She never complains about lack of sleep, money or time off. And she's perfectly fine staying out of the spotlight, allowing guitarist-singer Ben Davis and drummer Sebastien Schultz to answer all the questions. Granted, this is because Irene is a 1973 reel-to-reel tape player. But that doesn't make her any [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , New Music , Exclusive Andrew Stockdale may be playing with a completely new band, but one thing's for sure -- the name Wolfmother will remain the same. However, it wasn't necessarily Stockdale's decision to keep the moniker. "I did call [the band] something else -- White Feather," Stockdale tells Spinner. "We played some shows in Brisbane and Sydney, and people just kept calling it Wolfmother. Even on the radio, they were just calling it Wolfmother." [...]

Filed under: News , Holy Hell , New Music What are U2 afraid of? Oh, the usual -- Coldplay . The veteran rockers admit that the Killers and Kings of Leon are also on that list, though they are equally inspired by them. "In our heads that's who we're up against," Bono told the BBC of their musical competition. "You've got to keep an eye on the youth. Coldplay are such an extraordinary band with [...]

Being totally in love still with my new mp3 turntable (ION TTUSB05XL) I couldn't resist the opportunity to dig back through some of the piles that seem to take up every square inch of floor space here at the Ripple Office, and pull out some of the 7 inch singles that have made their way into our office and give them a spin. What I found was a previously unheard treasure of mini-vinyl nirvana. Eulogies - "If I Knew You" b/w Sea Wolf - "You're a [...]
