Listen: Weezer – “Memories”

Sunday, August 8th, 2010
Well that was fast. Only last week the announcement of Weezer's new album, Hurley, was made and now we have ourselves a single. These guys don't screw around.

This song has Rivers singing and screaming while addressing Rage Against the Machine and techno music on school buses. The song definitely brings back memories of 90's pop-rock tunes but… Read More

Sunday, August 8th, 2010
After a close vote between very different types of bands, the month of July belongs to the sound of the 80's and Wild Tiger who are our band of the month on the RiO!B.

The band, which was formed in 2005, is one that brings the music of two decades ago back to life. With influences ranging from Queen to Def Leppard, this band provides the soundtrack to what you listened to back when your hair was long, your pants were tight and Axl Rose wasn't completely… Read More

It hasn't even been a year since Raditude came out and Weezer has already announce the name of their new album and the release date. Gotta give 'em credit for being hard workers, at the very least.

Ozzy may not want to just play heavy metal anymore. He wants to explore the vast musical wilderness and try his hand at some other genre.
In an interview with VH1 Radio Networks (via Blabbermouth), Ozzy first expressed that being him is absolutely fantastic. But he's worried that his fans will think he's given up on them if he tries some other form of… Read More
