La última vez que escuchamos de The Mars Volta fue en 2009 con el lanzamiento de su anterior producción, Octahedron . Sin embargo, el grupo no desapareció de la orbita musical pues, luego de terminar la gira de promoción del disco, Omar Rodríguez-López se dedicó de lleno a su carrera solista, editando varias producciones tanto sólo como con la ayuda de numerosos amigos. Afortunadamente, parece que su capacidad musical le dio no sólo para realizar estos esfuerzos sino para continuar su trabajo al lado de Cedric Bixler-Zavala , trabajo que [...]

While "Born to Lose" was our first taste of the album, the band considers "Comeback Kid" to be the first single. And what a single it is! "Comeback Kid" features Derek's typical merciless guitars and Alexis's trademark dreamy vocals, but fear not. Reign of Terror is not going to be a regurgitated sequel to their successful self-titled release. This track, as well as "Born to Lose", are good [...]

Fresh off the news that an At The Drive-In reunion is taking place, the Mars Volta have announced their sixth studio album Noctourniquet which will be released March 27th by Warner Bros. The album's 13-track narrative was inspired by '80s UK alt-rockers The Godfathers, Superman comic nemesis Solomon Grundy and the Greek myth of Hyacithus. How this will all play out is anyone's guess, but I have no doubts that it will be interesting. Read more »

In this case, Omar Rodriguez-Lopez and Cedric Bixler-Zavala will release the band's sixth album, Noctourniquet , on March 27th.

Si habéis leído atentamente la nota sobre Coachella 2012 y habéis echado un vistazo al impresionante cartel, puede que os hayáis percatado de la aparición de una banda que muchos creían desaparecida y que también vuelve en 2012.

Hasta ayer mismo, At The Drive-In era una banda desaparecida que anunció su separación en 2001 bajo extrañas circunstancias. Extrañas porque básicamente desaparecieron de los escenarios, con un último [...]

Soooo. It looks like At The Drive-In is getting back together and possibly playing some shows, touring and making a new record or some such crap. You know, as a guy who grew up in El Paso and was a part of its 'scene' when At The Drive-In was one of the only real bands in town(not counting Sparta or The Mars Volta ), I feel I need to say a thing or 2 about this. First, why? I was under the impression that the [...]
