Last week, Neko Case unveiled the trailer for her new album, and now, fans can listen to the disc’s first single, ‘Man,’ featuring M. Ward on guitar. Check it out via the clip above, which also shows off some original artwork.
Surprising things are always coming out of Canada (I’m looking at you Rob Ford), including some of North America’s best rock ‘n’ roll bands. Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, is home to Paper Lions -- and we’re pretty sure they’re going to be big.
Most discussions of Broken Social Scene revolve around Metric, Stars, Feist and the various other projects related to the collective. But over the last couple of years, the Toronto band's extended
El Paso-based prog rockers Bosnian Rainbows — side project of the Mars Volta’s Omar Rodríguez-López — have unleashed the catchy new single ‘Morning Sickness,’ which premiered over at Consequence of Sound today (June 10). The tune’s dreamlike vocals and infectious bassline make for a thoroughly enjoyable listen – check it out below.
The ‘90s are back -- there’s simply no denying this. Rockers are taking pages out of Pavement's playbook, while electronic groups are looking back at the trip-hoppers of yore.
Belgian group Hooverphonic do the latter on today's free MP3, covering Massive Attack’s groundbreaking tune 'Unfinished Sympathy' in spectacular fashion.
On their forthcoming debut album, ‘These Are Good People’ — out this summer on Tiny Engines — Philadelphia’s Little Big League manage the difficult balancing act of paying tribute to their influences while creating something that is still their own. The band succeeds, turning out songs that are new interpretations of their ‘90s female-fronted alt-rock.

Canadian-born L.A. transplants Grim Tower are a meeting of the minds of Stephen McBeam and Imadd Wasif. Both are well versed in psychedelic and experimental rock. Wasif has three solo albums to his name, along with collaborations with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and McBeam and his band, Black Mountain, have also released three LPs. For the twosome’s joint effort, however, they came up with a sound they call “new acoustic death folk.”
When singer Kate Eldridge moved from Brooklyn, N.Y., to Seattle back in 2009, she underwent a conversion. Her previous bands hadn’t worked out, and the slog of the Williamsburg scene was getting her down.
What many would consider a retreat from America’s biggest music scene we look at as a triumph. Several years later, Eldridge is fronting the Pacific Coast rock band Big Eyes.
Nine Inch Nails took to Twitter last night (June 5) to unveil their new single, 'Came Back Haunted' (listen below), and announce the Sept. 3 release of 'Hesitation Marks,' their first album since 2008. NIN mastermind Trent Reznor is no stranger to social media -- he won an Oscar for his 'Social Network' score, after all -- or savvy marketing, and already, the Internet is abuzz over the latest musical offering from the industrial legends.
