Moving Mountains To Do Three Shows Then Go On Hiatus

Moving Mountains are the next in a long line of DIY bands who have been poised to take off and then go on hiatus immediately after an album. While they haven’t themselves called it a hiatus, they have said that these three shows will be the last of the band for the “foreseeable future.” By […]

‘Beverly Hills Cop IV’ Might Snag Original Producer

The fourth installment of Eddie Murphy’s second largest franchise after Shrek, Beverly Hills Cop, might do okay if they land original producer Jerry Bruckheimer. Bruckheimer worked on the first and second, but ducked out of 1994’s Beverly Hills Cop III. Does that have anything to do with it being the least successful? Who knows, but […]

Daft Punk 2013

Daft Punk, Pharrell, and Nile Rodgers get glitzed up in new video

Worried that there might be a day in your 2013 when you might not hear Pharrell’s croon, Daft Punk have revealed that the second single off of Random Access Memories is “Lose Yourself to Dance.” The year of Pharrell continues, but whether or not this second single can recreate the magic that captured America’s heart is […]

Kanye West Could Face Up To A Year In Prison, Video Surfaces Of Incident

Regardless of whether you hated Yeezus or not, you probably don’t think Kanye West deserves a year in prison for the effort.

ALBUM STREAM: Mazzy Star – ‘Seasons Of Your Day’

Mazzy Star are one of those bands that you either know about and love, or don’t know about and eventually have some older friend question your taste in music until you check them out. For me, I never got into Mazzy Star until David Bazan covered “Fade Into You” (because apparently, David Bazan is my […]

REVIEW: The Ongoing Concept – ‘Saloon’

Artist: The Ongoing Concept Album: Saloon Genre: Post-Hardcore Label: Solid State Records The Ongoing Concept may have existed for less than five years, but their most recent effort, Saloon, shows that they have all of the capabilities of keeping up with (and eventually, outdoing) some of the bigger heavy mainstay acts of today. The crazier […]

REVIEW: The Devil Wears Prada – ‘8:18’

ARTIST: The Devil Wears Prada ALBUM: 8:18 GENRE: Metalcore LABEL: Roadrunner Records Once a band has released so many albums, or been around for so many years, I start to become wary of new music by them. There are so many examples of bands releasing one too many albums which basically ruins them for me. […]

You Me At Six Turn Avicii’s “Wake Me Up” Into A Country Song On BBC Radio 1

You Me At Six are the latest to join the long line of talent who has taken to BBC Radio 1 with a cover you would never expect, and the way they made it their own may shock you. For the last few years You Me At Six have sat on the fringe of the […]

REVIEW: Aurganic – ‘Deviations’

Artist: Aurganic Album: Deviations Genre: Experimental, Rock, Electronic It’s difficult to confine Aurganic to one specific genre. The closest you could get is to tag them with the broad description of ‘experimental rock’ which could ultimately encompass a myriad of sounds and styles. On their new album, Deviations, this duo aims to explore the boundaries […]

Motion City Soundtrack Debut “Inside Out”

Motion City Soundtrack have partnered with our friends at RollingStone to debut a brand new single entitled, “Inside Out.” There has been an evolution taking place within Motion City Soundtrack in recent years. Their early efforts seemed to build off each other, like stackable bricks of catchy pop songs, but in recent years their style […]

Single Review: Britney Spears – “Work Bitch”

Artist: Britney Spears Track: “Work Bitch” Album: TBA The pop icon who kickstarted a new wave of solo female acts at the end of the 1990s is doing whatever she can to keep her career alive with a trendy, albeit completely forgettable single that leaves a lot to be desired. Hitting the net Sunday (9/15), […]

After watching this video four times in the past 25 minutes I can safely say that it’s one of the best music videos released in quite awhile, especially in the metal genre. London’s progressive metal outfit, Haken, just unveiled the visuals for their single, “Cockroach King,” featured on their newest album, The Mountain, which just […]
