Friday, June 25th, 2010
We got ourselves a brand new video from The Dead Weather courtesy of...Conan O'Brien? Yeah, that works for me.

Conan's official website premiered the video for "Blue… Read More

Watch: The Dead Weather perform Sea Of Cowards

Tuesday, May 4th, 2010

May 11 draws nearer by the day which means The Dead Weather's new album, Sea Of Cowards, will soon be released in record stores.
Now last week, on the Dead Weather's website, they streamed the album in it's entirety for 24 hours. While it's a short album (a little over 30 minutes) it definitely packs a punch and got me excited as all hell for the new LP. But then TDW decided to up the ante a bit.
Yesterday, May 3rd, they played the album in… Read More

Jack White is the man

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

Jack White is the man. There's no other way to put it. I don't think there's been an artist we've covered on the RiO!B that had three separate stories written about them in one post until now.
First, Jack's new band The Dead Weather (whose new album is insane, btw) have announced a whole new slew of tour dates (via Consequence of Sound). After performing at… Read More

Listen: The Dead Weather – “Gasoline”

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

Why can't every band sound like The Dead Weather? I'd be a much happier person.
Their sophomore LP, Sea Of Cowards, is but mere weeks away from being released in record stores on May 11 and to whet our appetites even further, a new track has surfaced online called "Gasoline". It's incredible.
The organ-driven tune features Alison Mosshart sounding like she's taken some vocal tips from Jack White when she sings on this track and I've never been more… Read More

Watch: The Dead Weather at Coachella

Monday, April 19th, 2010

The Dead Weather performed at the Coachella festival this weekend. That's all I should write considering their performance speaks for itself.
Jack White brought his dirty, gritty, sexy blues-rock band to the California desert and gave the crowd a special treat. They played quite a few tracks from their upcoming album, Sea Of Cowards, which is out May 11th.
Based on what it sounds like, this band could make it into our Top… Read More

Listen: The Dead Weather – “No Horse” and “Jawbreaker”

Friday, April 9th, 2010

The Dead Weather continue to keep a firm grasp on us here at the RiO!B. I swear, Jack White news is almost as intriguing as Thom Yorke news...almost.
That being said, if you make your way over to Some Kind Of Awesome, you'll be able to stream two brand new Dead Weather songs from their upcoming album Sea Of Cowards which is… Read More
