Looks like The Black Keys are releasing an album called El Camino on December 6th. Check out the trailer down below which spoofs an old car commercial. At the very end a small blurb appears that reads the band's name and the words "El Camino" and the release date of December 6th.
Frontman Dan Auerbach did say the band was releasing a new album by year's end. You don't get… Read More

We've talked about this album before. Jack White, Patti Smith and Damian Rice would be covering songs from U2's Achtung Baby for an upcoming 20th anniversary tribute album. But we've got the full tracklisting now and it's way more interesting.
Nine Inch Nails, The Killers, Depeche Mode, Garbage, Snow Patrol and more will also appear on the album,… Read More

Are you surprised that the Flaming Lips would already have plans set for next year's Record Store Day? It really shouldn't be all that shocking. Especially since this is the band that released a six-hour song and is planning on releasing a 24-hour song.

I'm still surprised as to why I haven't signed up for Third Man Records' subscription service, The Vault. It might have to do with the fact that I'm broke as all hell but I'm heavily considering a career in theft to get enough money to sign up for the service.
My future life of crime could be due to the fact that the forthcoming package from the vault is quite huge. It includes a 7" vinyl that features a remix of The White… Read More

So on today's RiO!B episode we're gonna try to put together a list of the rules for the mosh pit. What are your rules? Leave a comment letting us know. Read More

I grow more excited with every listen I get from songs off of Noel Gallagher's forthcoming solo album, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds. The best part, of course, is that the former Oasis guitarist was never one for boasting or bragging about the quality of this album unlike his brother, Liam, and how Beady Eye's new record would change the world (it hasn't, by the way.)
Up top, is the insane music video for the track "AKA...What A Life" featuring a creepier than usual Russell Brand. Brand forces… Read More

Jane's Addiction new album, The Great Escape Artist, hits stores on October 18th. Which means performances on the late night TV circuit should start around now. Last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Perry Farrell and the crew performed their newest single, "Irresistible Force," which you can watch up top. They also ripped through "Stop!" from their 1990 album, Ritual de lo Habitual, which you can check out down below.

"I like to say this is the first new Doors track of the 21st century." - Ray Manzarek. I beg your pardon?
Listen, I know that artists these days are trying to do whatever it takes to keep their music fresh for younger listeners even if that means completely changing their sound. Also, Ray Manzarek is a bit of a crazy bastard. But the statement made by the former Doors keyboardist to Rolling… Read More
