We like rock music more than you. It's just the way it is…

Last night on late night TV was a good night for rock and roll. Not only did Pearl Jam perform a brand new song on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon but Foo Fighters rocked Conan with the closing track from Wasting Light, "Walk."… Read More

Surprise, surprise, surprise! This is awesome. Pearl Jam have dropped a little gift for all of us over at their website. Head there right now to download a brand new song called "Olé!" But before you download it, how about you give it a listen down below. Even further down, you can check out PJ playing the song on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon (via The… Read More

Need some new beats to skitter around to? I bring you two tracks from Modeselektor's forthcoming album, Monkeytown, called "Shipwreck" and "She" (courtesy of 107.7 The End).
Here's the thing. I love Radiohead hence Thom Yorke is a hero of mine. But these "songs" if that's what you want to call them...yeah, they don't do it… Read More

Up top, ladies and gents, is the new video from Wilco for the song "Born Alone" from their forthcoming album, The Whole Love, which is out on September 27th. The video takes you on a road trip while splicing in photos of what looks like ancient studio equipment and other miscellaneous items as well as footage of the band playing together. Push play and nod your head to a pretty good song.

Battles + Gary Numan + guy continuously falling down an escalator for nearly four minutes = video genius.
Up top, you can check out the video for that equation for the new single from Battles called "My Machines." Featuring Gary Numan on vocals and directed by the duo called Daniels with a bit of help from The Creators Project, this video combines a kick ass song with the image of something we all fear: falling down an upward escalator.
If you don't know by now, "My Machines" comes from the amazing album,… Read More

Normally, when I talk about video game soundtracks it's primarily me reflecting on classic Nintendo theme songs from my youth. Video game soundtracks covered on the RiO!B were either from Guitar Hero (RIP) or Rock Band (RIP as well) or the new installments of Madden. But a new and unexpected player has entered the discussion and may raise some eyebrows...or I guess in this case, cowl brows.
Batman: Arkham City is a game… Read More

Need another reason to be on team Noel? Alright, you slaphappy bastards. Down below is another new track from Noel Gallagher's debut solo album, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, called "AKA...What a Life." Unlike the two previous tracks Gallagher has released, this track is one you can bounce around to. The dancey track continues to make me think that Gallagher sounds a lot like Coldplay...that is, if Chris Martin was more of an asshole. Regardless,… Read More

I know you guys love your Blink-182 and the fact that their new album, Neighborhoods, is out on September 27th. Which is why I'm happy to hook you guys up with another new track from the album called "After Midnight" which is classic Blink. Lyrics about walking around with a girl in some type of stupor? Check. A kickass drum pattern? Check. Tom DeLonge's nasal singing counter-balanced by Mark Hoppus's much soother tone? Double check.
Check out the track… Read More

I never know what to think when I post tracklistings for albums. I mean, you can look at the titles of songs and guess which ones will be the best or which song you're most excited for based on its name or length. But at the end of the day they're just words until we get some sound attached to them.
In any case, down below is the tracklisting for Metallica and Lou Reed's collaborative album, Lulu, which is out on November 1st. The final track, "Junior Dad," does come… Read More
