As the comments of the YouTube upload read “The official video for ‘Survivalism’ distributed via USB pen drives at the London show on March 7, 2007.” Keeping in tune with the rest of the album’s theme the video monitors a set of surveillance cameras, with the government monitoring the nation’s people and weeding out the […]

Only Crime’s lineup alone begs for attention; it includes Russ Rankin (Good Riddance), Bill Stevenson (The Descendents/All/Black Flag), Aaron Dalbec (Bane/Converge), Zach Blair (Hagfish/Gwar) and Doni Blair (Hagfish). The music is somewhat expected from this mash of musician, it’s grinding at times, occasionally it sounds brash and hasty, but even at its most consumable (”Take […]

Peter Steele, lead singer and bassist for Brooklyn, NY based group Type O Negative recently gave a humorous description as to the reasoning behind the band’s cover art for the upcoming album Dead Again during an interview with Tina Cederberg of GetMetal.com, “Me being the songwriter and art coordinator for the band I thought the […]

The Morning Benders are back with the group’s second EP entitled Boarded Doors, which will be released on March 13th. For those that don’t know, the group plays a historical pop-rock sound which some (not I) have dubbed close to that of the Beatles has turned some heads over the past year or so with […]

One of hip hop’s most anticipated releases of the year comes with the upcoming Talib Kweli album Eardrum. The lyrics have a serious flow and they mix easily with the simple, yet memorable, beat. Also featured in the song is Hi-Tek. [This post was first published by Culture Bully.]

Willard Grant Conspiracy is a group that has, over the course of course of ten years, released eleven albums of live and studio material – with Let It Roll being its latest. The band’s only permanent member and vocalist Robert Fisher sounds like a roots-Nick Cave with a voice deeply based in coffee and cigarettes. […]

The first thought for those who are only casually familiar with Peter, Bjorn & John (myself included) will be that “Objects of My Affection” is quite subtle and less enticing than the wider known “Young Folk.” But a few listens to the single should provoke more interest as the bass line begins to develop a […]

The song for the lead single from Three Six Mafia’s upcoming Last 2 Walk album is…well…a little funny, to be honest. How far has the group strayed from its beginnings since its inception? Far enough to where it is now street to shout out “Academy Award Winners” during the intro to your song. I’m sure […]

Hopefully the first seven seconds of Dungen’s lead single from its upcoming album Tito Bitar is fairly indicative of the rest of what we are to hear. A raging drum roll introduction is hammered by some strange psychedelic Stooges riff which is then joined by some steady-handed piano all leading into the group’s audiorgy. Though, […]

A friend recently noted, in response to Rage Against the Machine’s reunion show at Coachella, something along the lines of “as long as it means no more Audioslave, I’m all for it.” Well, dreams can come true. Last week Chris Cornell announced the release date for his upcoming solo record, and mentioned a little something […]

Pitchfork recently included Fujiya & Miyagi as apart of its list of the Top 50 Albums of 2006, ranking the band somewhere within the realm of awesome-though-not-concisely-spectacular with a placement at #39 on the list. The group’s unimposing presence plays to the retro-pop crowd without even once attempting to lure mainstream listeners in by bringing […]

Finally catching up to the rumors that the band would reunite comes word that there would not only be a few festival dates but a new album, entitled Zeitgeist, set for release in July. But with only half of the original line-up in tact the band has received a number of criticisms as of late. […]

Even before The Distillers’ last album, Coral Fang, the band had been subject to a whirlwind of drama greatly surrounding the lead singer Brody Dalle. To make a long story short she divorced Rancid frontman Tim Armstrong in favor of Queens of the Stone Age’s Josh Homme and the two have since had a daughter. […]

David Fischoff poses as a Chicago-based librarian by day, but with his latest album The Crawl, which has been a product of some five years of work, David has created an entire record’s worth of music from thousands of samples. Why it’s found music: As David described in an interview with Chicago Public Radio the […]

Lasse Jertsen is a twenty two year old film maker from Larvik, Norway who, among his other talents, has found a way of splicing his own sampled notes into songs. What’s amazing about the final product isn’t simply the fact that he can do so, but accompanying the tracks are video recordings, which are also […]

Since the release of 2003’s Skull Ring it has seemingly become cool again to be Iggy Pop. The band’s backing him on the album, Green Day The Trolls and Sum 41, had heaps of cred with with kids on the street and since then Mr. Pop has recorded with the likes of Peaches and most […]
