Written In Blood3. Walking Away4. True Romance5. What I Want6. It’s Just Begun7. She Will Always Be A Broken Girl8. This Is The End9. Checking Out10. Pretend...
In any language and by any professional standard (no matter which field), four years is a very, very long time between productions. Granted, the four-year period that Andy Magoffin and his band, Two–Minute Miracles, have taken to follow up 2003’s Volume III: The Silence Of Animals is not lengthy in a Guns N’ Roses sort of way, but when you realize that the duration of some bands’ entire careers—particularly now that the music industry and popular tastes shift faster than...

As practically the whole world now knows, the new Radiohead album, In Rainbows, is going to be released via online download services on October 10th. This isn’t out of the ordinary. The trend as of late has been for labels to release new albums earlier and earlier on downloads services, and than sometime later have subsequent in-store releases… What does make this situation unique is that somehow, by some stroke of luck or genius, it’s ten days before perhaps one...
My name is Chris Hornbrook and I'm the drummer for Poison The Well. This is a day in the life for me on Warped Tour. The day that I choose to cover was the show in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It proved to be a somewhat eventful day. I hope you enjoy! 6:30am: I've just been woken up hearing our bus driver, Charles, in a panic. I also take notice that the engine or generator is not running. This isn't normal...
Juuuuuuust a little note from Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood: + + + + + + + + Hello everyone. Well, the new album is finished, and it's coming out in 10 days; We've called it In Rainbows. Love from us all. Jonny + + + + + + + + This is insane news, especially after all the crazy, coded art that's been posted over the last few days on radiohead.com. Here are the details: DiscboxThis consists of the new album,...
Carl Newman must have a subscription to US Weekly. His between-song banter during the New Pornographers show consisted mainly of naming off random celebs he claimed to have seen in the halls of the band's hotel, at the coffee shop, on the street. Assuming he could see out into the crowd during the first night of a two-night stand at the Henry Fonda, he would have seen more. For a tour in support of the band's latest album Challengers, the...
A little background is required for reviewing Sebadoh’s debut album. It was 1988 and Lou Barlow, having been bounced out from under the oppressive regime that was quickly becoming J Mascis’ Dinosaur Jr by the guitarist himself, went back to the absolute basics of his songwriting; once again making lo-fi basement tapes and refining his craft. He reconnected with Western Mass. scenester Eric Gaffney and the duo began passing a 4-track tape recorder back and forth—eventually cobbling together about fifteen...
Their records have gone platinum, they are currently nominated for three Latin Grammys, and have played sold out shows for years. Yet Mexico's Zoé have somehow stayed out of the limelight in the United States—partially because only one of their three albums has been released in the U.S. and it is nearly impossible to find. If you're fortunate, Amoeba might have a single copy on hand. Luckily, they do tour California, Texas, New York and a few other areas rather...
In a night that started with a photopass fiasco, where my new pal Clarence, the head security dude at the Fonda in L.A., gave me some sort of code to tell the guy guarding the entrance to the photo pit that allowed me to get up close and personal with one of the most prolific and understated bands of this decade, Midlake. The Denton, Texas-based band is on the final stretch of a 35-date (or so) tour that ends with...
