Song: "Shake Can Well" Artist: Boom Chick I never, ever thought that the directions/warnings on an aerosol can could be converted into foot-stompin' rock 'n roll mayhem, but that is precisely what Boom Chick have accomplished with this tune. I honestly listened to this song three or four times before even scrolling down the page to learn that fact, which is a testament to this song's guitar-lick-and-drum-pumping catchiness on its own. Pay closer attention and you might be able to figure out which brand name product you'll find these words on. [...]

Tweet Boy oh boy, I sure love a quick announcement to release turnaround. Back on October 9 th The Black Keys announced the name of their new album, "El Camino" , and revealed that it would be with us in less than two months. Two months! So much anticipation, so little time. But the public awareness that the album was coming and equally public anticipation of it made something very clear to me, something that I hadn't really noticed: somewhere [...]

By Thomas Michalski GG Allin - Hated: Special Edition Watch more on Network Awesome Merle Allin Senior was a deeply religious, and by all accounts, a deeply disturbed man, so when he decided to name his first child Jesus Christ Allin, the implication was clear: he believed his son was going to be a great man, perhaps even a savior.

Axl Rose with guitarist DJ Ashba, ostensibly Slash's replacement - is it really GNR? Walking into Houston's Toyota Center for the big Guns N' Roses show last week, we overheard people asking each other incredulously: "Slash is NOT with them???" Well, no. The guitarist left in 1996, on not-so-friendly terms with lead singer Axl Rose. As did pretty much all of the other original band members. So who was playing that Friday night in Houston? Was it Axl and a bunch of no-name scabs? Hardly - this version of Guns N' Roses can certainly [...]

"Step aside, Anvil… there's a Rock n' Roll comeback story that blows yours into the stratosphere! IRON CLAW is the Rock n' Roll comeback story of legend." So proclaimed Metal Odyssey after taking one listen to Iron Claw's new Ripple Music release, A Different Game. You see, IRON CLAW was playing their brand of Heavy Rock at live gigs when Heavy Metal was just getting it's name. The early 70′s were the building blocks for the Hard Rock and Heavy Metal that we all cherish deeply in 2011… and IRON CLAW was there… planting the seeds. Touring [...]

You're gonna walk right by here and we're going to dump gravel onto you from that two storey building over there. There'll be a bit of bird shit, two litres of milk and a bit of tongue action from Dan's German Shepherd - and at the end we've found two fangirls who want to scribble all over your face in thick black Sharpies.

Guitarists Rob Caggiano, left, and Scott Ian of Anthrax play at Houston's Warehouse Live. Whenever I'm feeling my age the people around me have to listen to the same old crap: "I'm too old to rock and roll!" And when you hit your mid-50s, you feel your age quite often. It was big fun to swing over to Austin a few weekends ago for ZZ Top's "1st Annual La Grange Fest," featuring the little ol' band from Texas and Lynyrd Skynyrd. We really went there to visit our [...]

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame recently announced its 15 nominees for its 2012 induction class. Once again, that means the blogosphere is abuzz with complaints about the Hall's irrelevancy.

On September 27 th the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced the list of nominees for the 2012 Induction ceremony.

This year's nominees show the Rock Hall's continued move towards musical diversity, with more hip-hop groups added to the list of nominees than in previous years. One of the big surprises for me on [...]

Grimes (aka 23 year old Claire Boucher) has been a very busy woman. In the last two years, she has released two full lengths, a split EP, a slew of remixes and is set to release her third full-length in January. Despite this wealth of output, Boucher considers the upcoming Visions her debut LP and the final realization of her sound. "Oblivion" is the first taste of the album, which is decidedly more poppy than anything of hers to date. Per usual, the sugary playfulness in her vocals is darkened by haunting echoes and [...]

Estes rapazes são claramente a melhor banda do momento. No final do ano passado prometi a mim mesmo que não perderia concerto, ou mesmo festival, onde eles fossem cartaz ou, simplesmente, nota de rodapé. Não quero acreditar que o ano vai acabar e ninguém os trouxe a Portugal. Ou seja, embora não pareça nestas (como em muitas outras) andanças continuamos bem periféricos. Para ouvir, em repeat e chorar por mais .
