The NME is reporting that British rockers Blur have decided to get back together to record their first album together since 2003’s excellent downtempo effort. Think Tank. Frontman Damon Albarn has had a successful run with the Gorillaz in the last few years, but it appears all members are enthusiastic about returning to their first […]

Kings of Leon told NME today that they are entering the studio to begin recording their third album. The key words the band seems to be throwing around about the new songs are “big” and “anthemic.” Sounds a bit antithetical to their patented southern-drawl brand of indie rock, but their sound matured considerably between their […]
