Behold your rock music Grammy nominees

Wednesday, November 30th, 2011

Well there it is. The Grammy. The award that artists strive to win and the one that bloggers and fans hate. Primarily because, as fans, we feel that OUR favorite bands deserve all the accolades and fuck the rest. But this award ceremony offers us a place to vent our frustrations and reaffirm our hatred for genres and artists we can't stand. There's gonna be a lot of hate for one Justin Bieber again...even if he isn't nominated… Read More

Up top is video of KOL playing a show in Dallas, TX on July 28th. Well, I shouldn't say playing...more like Followill pandering to… Read More

Watch: Kings of Leon documentary trailer

Tuesday, April 5th, 2011

Now that the Foo Fighters are putting out their rock documentary, Foo Fighters: Back and Forth, it seems like everyone wants to cash in on the rock doc game. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy a good rock documentary, but I don't want bands releasing them just because it seems like the cool thing to do now. Which is why I'm a bit suspect of Kings of Leon and their upcoming film, Talihina Sky: The Story of Kings of Leon.
Up top you can watch the trailer which features interviews with the band along with home movies and… Read More

Grammy nominations revealed

Wednesday, December 1st, 2010

Well here we are again. The time when the old, white men of the recording industry decide to bestow their blessings on artists who they feel should get a Grammy award while the rest of us pull out our hair because the real talents didn't get any recognition.
We should first be proud, however, that Arcade Fire are up for Album of the Year with The Suburbs and Florence + The Machine and Mumford & Sons are up for Best New Artist. It's talent that definitely… Read More
