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

The album, which is in stores on November 1st, features Metallica along with other performers including Bruce Springsteen, Jon Bon Jovi, Spoon, Black Francis, Billy Corgan and more performing… Read More

The massive summer festival that is Lollapalooza is only two months away and hundreds of thousands of people will descend upon Grant Park in Chicago, IL to see tons of amazing bands. But a problem many festival goers have is how to see all your favorite bands without missing any.
Well, that's next to impossible but the good people of Lolla have made it easier for you by releasing the three-day schedule of what acts are playing where. Go to Lollapalooza's… Read More

Arcade Fire has been bashing us over the head the past few days with so many news updates it'll make you think you're Canadian (heaven forbid...jk Canada. Love ya!)
First there was the whole releasing two new singles called "Suburbs" and "Month of May" on the same day. Then there was the announcement of their new album title, cover art and release date. Now, Win Butler and his merry musical miscreants have announced their first North American tour in three… Read More

Well its finally happened. After a few days of playing a wheel-less version of Wheel Of Fortune to try and figure out who's playing Lollapalooza, the lineup was revealed last night.
Besides the headliners (who we all knew since last week...or in some cases three months ago), the rest of the lineup looks pretty,… Read More

As the French would say: super-cool! That pretty much sums up my reaction when seeing that Texas indie-rock band Spoon was hittin' the pavement in March on a nearly one month cross-country tour in support of their new album Transference which hits shelves on January 19.
It all kicks off at SXSW on March 19th at the legendary Stubbs in Austin, TX and will conclude on April 13 in Oakland, CA at Fox Theater. Tickets for the tour go on sale this Friday,… Read More

The band debuted the song on the NPR program All Songs Considered. In addition to revealing their new tune, they also unveiled the cover art for their new album Transference which comes out on January 19th. BTW the cover art is that picture on the… Read More

Spoon are making all the bloggers smile today by telling us all that their new album, Transference, will be released a week earlier than originally planned.
The album was originally supposed to come out during the last week of January but have now moved it back to January 19th, 2010 (via Pitchfork). While this in itself is quite good news there's… Read More

A band that I still think is quite underrated would be Spoon. Every time they come out with something new it's usually right on the money. Good music, good lyrics and albums that have the ability to make you listen to them over and over. So I'm quite pumped that Spoon is coming out with a new album in January of 2010 called Transference.
The last LP that Spoon released was back in '07 called Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga. Since then the only new music from… Read More
