Radiohead - Radiohead's Manager Launches New Record Label, Presumably Because Radiohead Needs Someone New to Hav What with Radiohead finally mellowing out in recent years into a bunch of friendly, regular guys who wear blue jeans, smile, offer you a warm ale, and occasionally write and record handfuls of comparably affable, jaunty jingles, Radiohead manager Brian Message probably has a whole lot less to do. But hey, problem solved, I guess, because Message has launched a new record label. But don’t worry. The spirit of the ’Head is actually quite a strong presence in this new endeavor. For starters, the label, which is called Polyphonic, will allow artists to keep their copyright. Further, the... Muse - New Muse Album Tracklisting - Features Lots Of Slap Bass The new Muse album cannot arrive quick enough for me. In the years that Muse release a new album, and it’s only every two-three years because of the sheer amount of work and refinement put into each one, it’s the musical highlight for me. I can spend months listening to the albums time after time and still hear different sounds and lyrics that suddenly stand out. The layers on each track go so deep as to almost (but not quite) be impenetrable. We haven’t got long to wait for the new Muse album now, as it’s due out on September...

Thom Yorke - Watch: Thom Yorke Plays New Tune Live! Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke debuted a brand-new song, "Present Tense," during his early afternoon set at England's Latitude Festival Sunday.

Plans for a new solo album have yet to be announced, but Yorke recently recorded a cover of Miracle Legion's "All For... Jet - Whatever Happened To Jet? How does a band whose debut album sells millions around the world fade to nothing before their third? Jet has a new album on the way (apparently). You’d only know if you visit their website. ‘She’s A Genius’, the first song from the album was released two weeks ago. Last week it sold 700 units in the band’s native Australia. This week it sold 990 units. Sales of 1690 units in two weeks for the band who’s ‘Are You Gonna Be My Girl’ was a hit all over the world in 2003? What went wrong? Jet released their first album ‘Get Born’ in October...

The Killers - Killers Unveil Charity Video Las Vegas indie titans The Killers are set to highlight the impact of human trafficking with their new video. The Killers are one of the biggest bands in Britain right now. Last year's album 'Day & Age' soared to number one, buoyed by the enormous success of lead single 'Human'. "Are you we human? Or are we dancer" Brandon Flowers asked, and while no one had the answer millions of us went and bought the single. The band are due to kick off a busy festival schedule soon, but are set to release a single before then. Taken from their recent... Lily Allen - Florence Welch Praises Lily Allen Fast rising singer Florence Welch has praised pop star Lily Allen, labelling her performance at the Glastonbury festival as 'hot'. Florence Welch is a long standing figure on the London music scene. Praised by her contemporaries, the singer was capable of working with Johnny Borrell yet still struggled to find fame. Forming Florence & The Machine, the singer was snapped up by a major label before waltzing away with the Critic's Choice award at this year's Brits. Yet amid mounting hype her career has stuttered, with the group failing to register that all important hit. With their debut album on...
