Since the reunited rebels will be heading to Australia, New Zealand and Japan this month it seems like a good time to do an FYI on them.
RATM formed in 1991 when guitarist Tom Morello saw frontman Zack de la Rocha rapping and was impressed by his lyric book, so…Morello brought in drummer Brad Wilk and […]
The recently reformed Jesus and Mary Chain have posted three rough demos on their MySpace page. The tracks, “War on Peace”, “Cookies” and “Boiling Over”, are the first tracks made public by the band since 1998’s Munki.
“War on Peace” is pretty good, nice and mellow, but I’m not crazy about “Cookies”. “Boiling Over” could have some […]
Radiohead have confirmed the cities in North America that they will hit on the road this year, however dates and venues have yet to be announced.
The band intends to play the North American dates prior to their UK tour in June, so I would suspect that the North American tour would take place around this April/May. […]
Can anyone really bash the simple, poppy melodies from Evan Dando and company?
Take for example the title track from 1992’s It’s A Shame About Ray. The lyrics are kind of dark (If I make it through today,
I’ll know tomorrow not to leave my feelings out on display), but the music has a little sunshine to it. With the […]
The Black Crowes will be releasing their new album, Warpaint, on March 4 and are going to perfrom a series of one-night stands in support of it.
Warpaint is the first studio album from the Crowes in seven years, their last effort was 2001’s Lions. You can listen to the first single from Warpaint, “Goodbye Daughters of […]
Today is the physical release for the soundtrack to Juno, although it has been available digitally for some time.
Anyways, this soundtrack is great, it fits perfectly with the movie (which is very good and is defiantly worth catching). It’s indie friendly, but manages to squeeze in a couple classic songs and some 90’s alternative tracks, which is why […]
Today is the day for the video debut of Eddie Vedder’s “Guaranteed”, although many of you may not be as excited as I am for this.
It’s a pretty simple video, not much really happening, but it defiantly fits the song. It was shot by writer/director Marc Rocco (Murder in the First, Where The Day Takes You)in only a […]
I saw on NME this morning that the Nine Inch Nails mastermind isn’t too happy right now with the state of the music industry.
Reznor posted his feelings on Nine Inch Nails website after discovering the sales figures for rapper Saul Williams new album, which Reznor produced.
Following a similar method that Radiohead used for In Rainbows, […]
Since this is the first FYI of 2008, let’s jump into the dolorean and take a look back at what was going on a decade ago.
Albums released in 1998:
Ben Folds Five - Naked Baby Photos
Pearl Jam - Yield
Jerry Cantrell - Boggy Depot
Dave Matthews Band - Before These Crowded Streets

If you follow this blog then you already know by now that I can’t go at least one week without some mention of Pearl Jam; so I was extremely thrilled when I saw that frontman Eddie Vedder will have a music video debut on January 7.
The video is for the track “Guaranteed” from the Into […]
