How To Destroy Angels leak a new track.

Trent Reznor's latest project, How To Destroy Angels have leaked a new song called "Keep It Together." This is the first we have heard from How To Destroy Angels since they released a cover of Bryan Ferry's "Is Your Love Strong Enough?" for The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.

Adele's James Bond Song Leaked

By now I'm sure you have all heard that Adele recorded a track for the upcoming Bond flick, Skyfall. She certainly seems like the obvious choice and she fits the role perfectly.

Happy would be 65th Marc Bolan!

Here is a video from one of my favorite tracks from the Electric Warrior and his band. Jeepster

A new one from Crystal Castles

Here is a new one from Crystal Castles. They also announced today that their third album is coming on November 5th. If this is an idea of what the album will be like i think we are in for a treat. As always, I hope that comes with some tour dates.

Good Music Videos

Florence Welch and Calvin Harris team up for a quality track and a pretty good looking video to go with it. Calvin Harris ft. Florence Welch- "Sweet Nothing"

Song CPR Tour from Death From Above 1979

The gentlemen from Death From Above 1979 have a new tour coming and it is likely going to be coming with some new music. Check out this 44 second pre-tour/music sneak peek. Now if only they will start adding some US dates...

 

First single from the upcoming Deftones album.

It starts quiet, but don't turn your speakers up too loud. Chino will scare you out of your seat! There are a string of tour dates coming up so be sure to check them out when they are in your hood. Fantastic live show. So here it is... the new single from Deftones, "Leathers"

5 Songs That I'm Into Right Now...

Ramones- Beat on the Brat

Metric- Speed the Collapse

A Place to Bury Strangers- You Are The One

Chapterhouse- Breather

The Vibrators- Nazi Baby

Good Music Videos: We have Kings of Leon Spinoff.

Jared Followill bassist of Kings of Leon apparently is sick of waiting around. He has a new band called Smoke & Jackal. Here is a video from the new project called "No Tell." Its on VEVO and its NSFW so get it before they take it down.

Caribou is back with a new name for club tracks.

New one from Daphni (the dance moniker for Caribou)- Ye Ye

Good Music Videos

80s after school PA nostalgia from LA's punk outfit, OFF! OFF! - "Borrow and Bomb" / "I Got News For You"

Good Music Video from Justice

Justice show's us what the future of sports will look like in their new video for New Lands.

Good Music Video: JEFF The Brotherhood- Six Pack

Here is a new one from JEFF The Brotherhood. While it does unfortunately include a lot of dude skin, there are also good things like bikinis, booze and a Scottie Pippen Jersey.

New Video From A Place To Bury Strangers

Video for "You're The One" on the upcoming album (late June). Careful with this one, violence, nudity and other great things as well. (NSFW)

Another song streaming from Metric.

5 Songs That I Am Into Right Now (Pulp)

I just went with some friends this week to see Pulp at Radio City Music Hall. It was a fantastic show. Jarvis Cocker is a monster of a front man. Even his banter between songs was appreciated by the crowded. I have never been to a show where the singer so easily spoke to the crowd and was able to turn the talking into stories about the songs and their backgrounds. Amazing stuff. Two hours seemed to go by in no time.

Here are 5 (+1) from Pulp that I am into right now.

Common People


Mis-Shapes


This Is Hardcore


Pencil Skirt


Underwear


Mile End
