Starsailor - Starsailor - All The Plans Taken from their fourth album, of the same name, 'All The Plan�s really is classic Starsailor and takes you back to the glory days of tracks like 'Alcoholic', and in fact the whole 'Love is Here' album. 'All The Plans' is a full-on guitar fest, including Ronnie Wood assisting along the way. James Walsh's vocals are spot on as always, delivering the power and emotion perfectly. Am loving this track - deserves to be huge, but unfortunately probably won't be. ...Doves - Doves In Free Manchester Show Manchester group Doves have been added to a star studded bill at a free show in their home town. Doves are intricately linked with Manchester. The band formed after an inspiring session at the Hacienda, initially making dance music under the name Sub Sub. Scoring a number of hits, the band eventually turned away from electronic music. Forming Doves, the band embraced Northern melancholy. Scoring a cult audience, the group's 2002 album 'The Last Broadcast' thrust Doves into a world of arena tours and chart hits, becoming one of the biggest indie groups in the nation. Returning earlier this year with...

Foo Fighters - Foo Fighters Debut New Song - Video American rock megastars Foo Fighters have debuted a new track for an audience consisting of President Barack Obama and newly decorated US military heroes. Foo Fighters were formed from the ashes of Nirvana. Devastated by the suicide of his friend Kurt Cobain the band's drummer Dave Grohl channelled his energy into his new project. Playing every instrument himself, the band's self-titled debut album was an immediate his on its release in 1995. Since then Grohl has gathered a band around him, with the former drummer taking centre stage. However Foo Fighters went on hiatus last year, and since then little... Arctic Monkeys - Arctic Monkeys speak about strange new song The Sheffield rockers are due to release new track Crying Lightning next month but admitted that it's not like their usual chart hits. Frontman Alex Turner said: "This was deemed the best signifier of the record. It was a favourite during recording. He added that making their upcoming album Humbug was the most fun they'd had recording an album. Speaking to BBC Radio 1's Zane Lowe, Turner said: "We've enjoyed making it more than the other two put together. It does really feel like we're getting somewhere." Arctic Monkeys will headline this year's Reading and Leeds festivals and say they are more than prepared... RADIOHEAD - NY Eye & Ear Fest II Starts Today, So Don't Kill Yourself Just Yet! What’s better than death? NY Eye & Ear Fest II, of course! So, temporarily quell them thoughts of suicide and read on, dear suicidal reader, as I have more exciting news: NYE&E II starts TODAY. That’s right, break loose from that noose! Swim up for air! Put that gun back in its holster! Step away from the ledge! Stop eating trans fats! Or you will miss this four-day, three-venue (Knitting Factory, 92Y Tribeca, and Death By Audio) sonic assault on Brooklyn and Manhattan. Performers this year include, among many others, Magik Markers, Talibam!, Team Robespierre, Grooms, John Wiese,... Stellastarr* - Stellastarr* f post-punk revival is the musical equivalent of fast food, then Civilized is most assuredly its Happy Meal. Stellastarr*'s third full-length release is a friendly and highly polished slice of guilty pleasure, neatly packaged and audience-tested in an obvious bid to maximize its mass palatability. Yet despite the naked manufacturing (some of which includes blatant thievery from Bloc Party and similar bands), Civilized is highly effective in its role as sonic junk food, dishing out sharp hooks and self-deprecated narratives with brevity and ease. Perhaps empty calorie music needn't be empty-headed after all, as evidenced by the clever whimsy of... Incubus - Incubus Kick Off U.S. Tour It was apparent early on that Incubus' tour-opener in San Diego Thursday night wasn't going to include a whole lot of messing around. The band that expertly juggles the move from Ozzfest to Gap ads utilized that same dexterity throughout their 90-plus-minute set. More Incubus on SPIN.com:>> Incubus Clips Jay-Z at No. 1While alternating between funk-metal blasts like A Crow Left of the Murder's "Megalomaniac" and pop ballads like Light Grenades' "Love Hurts," frontman / heartthrob Brandon Boyd let his songs do the talking and kept chatter with the audience to a minimum. The set's midpoint, however, found Boyd open up... Muse - Muse Discuss New Album Returning stadium rocking prog merchants Muse have revealed more secrets behind their forthcoming album 'The Resistance'. Muse are back. Famed for their blue haired, out there lyrics and wailing guitars the band are famed for their explosive live show. Like U2 without the bombast, the band's huge sound has seen them play some of the biggest venues in the land. The band last released a studio album with 'Black Holes And Revelations' in 2006. Since then, Muse have toured heavily before taking a short break. Reconvening in Italy, the trio began working on some much anticipated new material. In a recent... Eels - New Eels Video - In My Dreams Continuing with the werewolf theme of Hombre Lobo, which happens to mean werewolf, Eels bring some hirsute lycanthropy to the gorgeously shot video for "In My Dreams." E starred as a furry, howling stalker in the red-tinted clip for "Fresh Blood," but he cedes the claws to a young boy in the suburbs, whose dreams entail being a pre-teenwolf and strolling the woods with a dream girl that looks like the sort that would be way into Andrew Bird. ... |
