R2-D2 Confirmed For New ‘Star Wars’ Film, Model Built By Fans

The long loved astro-droid from previous Star Wars incarnations will make a return in the new film, Episode VII. I mean, let’s be honest, it wouldn’t really be a Star Wars film if it didn’t have R2-D2. While this was probably assumed by most already, it is nice to have some actual confirmation of something […]

Must Watch: Bob Dylan’s New Music Video For “Like a Rolling Stone”

Even if Bob Dylan‘s “Like a Rolling Stone” wasn’t one of the greatest rock and roll songs ever recorded, the new music video would still be worth watching. I say “watching” because it’s a music video, but “watching” isn’t quite the right word, since the video is actually interactive, allowing you to flip through television […]

REVIEW: The Acacia Strain – ‘Above/Below’

Artist: The Acacia Strain Album: Above/Below 7″ Label: Rise Records Genre: Metal/Hardcore Before moving forward, I’d like to start out by saying that I usually shy away from reviewing this type of material, as the modest amount of tracks doesn’t leave a lot of wiggle room between “I absolutely loved it” and “I’d rather listen […]

Foster The People’s Next Record “Not What People Will Expect”

In 2011, Foster The People broke onto the scene with the single “Pumped Up Kicks,” but since then, the band has had a nearly non-existent presence. Frontman Mark Foster spent this time in the studio working on the band’s next album (due out early next year) and scoring his first feature film, entitled Little Boy. But, […]

HAIM Announce Spring North American Tour

HAIM have announced a slew of new North American tour dates for April and May. The routing puts them on the West Coast in mid-April, which makes a stop at Coachella a near certainty — not that such a booking should come as a surprise for one of 2013’s breakthrough bands. The band is also […]

REVIEW: Polar Bear Club – ‘Death Chorus’

Band: Polar Bear Club Album: Death Chorus Genre: Post-Punk Label: Rise Records Ladies and gentleman, I can confirm that the rumours are indeed true; Jimmy Stadt has changed his vocal style. The rumours of Polar Bear Clubs demise as a result, however, are not just greatly exaggerated, they are blatantly untrue. And if there is […]
