Royale is a brand new band out of Chicago, IL. They are working on an EP for a spring release, and introduce themselves via this new video for "Robots". You may recognize a familiar face on the drums. That's Nathan Bauman, who previously worked and toured with Rockie Fresh. Check out the new video below.

Michael Schenker , a legend among heavy guitar rock aficionados for his work in British rock heavyweights UFO and The Scorpions , will tour in 2012 with Robin McAuley in support of the album " Temple of Rock " that was released in October. One fan on Amazon's page wrote about the LP: "Schenker offers not so much a "temple" of rock as a "Cathedral of Rock" - the listener is invited into an expanding space of celebration and jubilant infectious imaginative variety, not shoved into a corner by an angry mob [...]
Stephen Kellogg and The Sixers released their fifth album, Gift Horse, on Vanguard Records last month.
Australian rockers Grand Atlantic (who Waved Rumor previewed around SXSW 2010 ) is gaining some notice for its CD "Constellations" which is streaming at AOL-Spinner. From the blurbists: "Brisbane's quartet Grand Atlantic have released their third album Constellations, which shows a maturation that has not gone unnoticed. Powerpopaholic declares,"This band...sounds ready to hit the big time with this album. It ups the ante for both fans and critics of How We Survive." Tim Douglas of The Australian said, "For an [...]

October 1st, 2011 was the date of Eagle Rock Music Fest, and to tell you the truth I was solely interested in the lineup of the Low End Theory stage. Gaslamp Killer? DJ...

All I'm sayin' is, for $5, you'll be crazy not to go!!!

The War on Drugs - "Baby Missiles" (Official Video) The War on Drugs are one of those Philly bands who are just everywhere. I have personally been to so many shows where they have been the openers that recently, I had begun to see them as a band that it was permissible to skip. The War on Drug's most recent release has caused me to repent that attitude. Slave Ambient (Secretly Canadian) was released August 15, but it's an [...]

Cult band The Subways have returned with another edition of their pop/punk inspired music with third album Money & Celebrities , which will be hitting stores next month. Although, it seems that this is not the same Subways the fans fell in love with. Yes, the line-up is the same and producer Stephen Street has worked on some of the best UK records known to man (The Smiths, Blur & The Cranberries), but there seems something amiss with this one. For one, it lacks the passion and energy the previous two [...]

I tend to read a lot of music-related books. Over the past few months I've finished Decoded by Jay-Z, A Wizard, A True Star: Todd Rundgren in the Studio by Paul Myers and Just Kids by Patti Smith. I just started reading You Must Go and Win by Alina Simone and can't seem to put it down. I hope to post something about each of these books in the near future. One I really enjoyed is now available at Amazon . It's called EXPERIENCED: Rock Music Tales of Fact & [...]
This former Brownstone member launched her solo career with a great track and then meandered into oblivion. This was a strong rock anthem, the time it came out and the lyrics are so powerful and simple. She didn't look bad either. We wonder where she is now.

A poignant and disquieting song of solace and serendipity set to an infectiously melodic and rollicking carnival tune.
Earlier today, we got sent New England rapper Aziz' newest music video "Ode to Pete Rock" and it's a good one. It has a classic hip-hop feel to it with a simple yet solid beat and awesome rapping by Aziz. This kid continues to make a name for himself and he is only getting better. [...]
