The Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Show Your Bones

Staff writer Mark Manson has a review of Show Your Bones, the latest effort from indie rockers The Yeah Yeah Yeahs. The review is short and sweet, just like the album. Enioy–after the drop.

Perhaps I have a fetish, but there’s something strangely sexy about a punk girl yipping and barking into a microphone. Judging by […]

Kings of Leon enter studio

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 […]

When I was first asked to do a review of Ben Harper’s Both Sides of the Gun, I got all little kid giddy. I’ve been a huge Ben Harper fan for a long time. The CDs arrived, I got even more excited. I knew that the album had been split into one more acoustic-minded, softer […]

In a statement, the band said: “We’re excited to be touring again, especially to play new songs to […]

TOOL album art

May 2 got a little closer today, when TOOL released the cover art for 10,000 days, their forthcoming album.

Information for the album has, as always, been kept under lock-and-key, but they band is taunting us with slight bits of temptation. The cover art appears to be done by NYC artist Alex Grey. This […]
