Va mai amintiti de Love Lost But Not Forgotten?
S-au reunit si planuiesc un concert la finele acestei luni.
“First off, the trend of reunion shows with bands has been completely insane lately. All of us in LLBNF want to address that this show is for the following reasons which you can read below. But one thing for sure… this has NOTHING to do with personal finance unlike so many bands doing reunion shows as of late.

“Our great friend bob is opening a brand new venue in Saint Louis, Mo called Fubar. Bob, throughout the years, has done a lot for all of us in LLBNF whether it be for the band or for some of us personally. He has gone as far as helping us rent vans back in the day to make sure we could get to shows etc. We are all very excited on his new club and the fact that he is trying to bring back to Saint Louis what has been missing for a long time. A decent mid-level venue and just a all around great place to hang and drink at.

“[Moreover], a few years ago, all of us in LLBNF played one last show and kinda abruptly disappeared from the music scene. In doing this we left a lot of people hanging and throughout all of this we have STILL seen an incredible amount of love and support for a band that has now been defunct for 4 years? Shit who knows. It’s pretty incredible with so much music out these days that people still remember us and care. So this brings us to the now…

“We, the entire original lineup of LLBNF, will be doing a show in late-ish July (possibly 2 shows) as a show of appreciation to everyone that has every supported us, put us up or kept that flame going. Our set will consist of the first record and the second record. hopefully both in their entirety. And maybe even some new stuff/songs you may have not have heard. A majority of proceeds from these shows will go to helping Bob with his bar and to help him get this club killing it in Saint Louis.

“We will have pre-sale tickets available shortly and all the show information to follow.”

Noul album Don Caballero se va numi “Punkgasms” si va fi lansat de Relapse Records pe 25 August.
Tracklist:
“Loudest Shop Vac In The World”
“The Irrespective Dick Area”
“Bulk Eye”
“Shit Kids Galore”

“Why Is The Couch Always Wet?’”
“Slaughbaugh’s Ought Not Own Dog Data”

“Awe Man That’s Jive Skip”
“Punkgasm”

Tommy Rogers de la Between The Buried And Me are un nou proiect, desi electronic, deloc asemanator cu Giles! Acesta este acompaniat de Jacob Toth pentru ca impreuna sa formeze Jacob Rogers. Asa da!

Sean Malone trece inapoi la bass, iar vara aceasta, Cynic vor intra in studio impreuna cu Warren Riker (Down), pentru noul album care va contine 8 melodii.

Misery Index au intrat de marti in studiourile Godcity, unde, alaturi de Kurt Ballou vor inregistra noul album, posibil numit “Traitors”, cu o lansare asteptata la sfarsitul verii - inceputul toamnei.
Adam Jarvis (tobe) declara: “I have honestly never been so excited about recording an album.”, iar Sparky Voyles (chitara) adauga “We’re really looking forward to working with Kurt. We’re all big fans of his work and production. We know he will do the songs justice.”

Concertul face parte din HORSE The Band World Tour, plimbare care incepe de pe 2 Martie, din California, pana pe 2 Iunie in Belfast. In Romania ii putem vedea la Craiova pe 22 Aprilie, si la Cluj pe 23.

Sound Of Color este un proiect care a unit niste artisti si regizori, rezultatul colaborarii concretizandu-se in cinci melodii cu videoclipuri, fiecare pentru o anumita culoare.

Tot de pe MySpace, citim si despre Funeral For A Friend:

“Happy Friday. Hope you’ve got that Friday feeling. TGI Friday. Friday I’m in Love. Tell me why I don’t like Mondays.

But seriously…

So last week we were getting all excitable about all the album and EP-ness. I think this week we’re about to explode in a very positive, non-sexual way.

The plan was- let’s write and demo an EP before mid-Feb. ‘That would be rad’ we thought to ourselves. And that WOULD have been rad…

INSTEAD we’ve gone and bloody wrote and demoed almost half an album already!And it’s only bloody January. Actually it’s the first day of February but you know what I mean, don’t be pedantic (official FFAF word of the day).
So, in anticipation of some of your questions and judging by the songs we’ve got down so far- here’s a little mini FAQ

Q: Does it sound more like Tales, Hours or Casually Dressed?
A: It sounds very different to all of those records. For an overall “vibe” it’s closer to Casually Dressed than anything- just taken a lot further.
Q: Will it be heavier than Tales?
A: Yes
Q: Will it be as technical as ‘7 Ways’/ Casually Dressed/Hours?
A: No, it’s much tastier than that.
Q. Will there be more riffs?
A. Yep
Q. Aggressive vocals?
A. Yep
Q. Will it be another concept album?
A. Nope
Q. When will it be out?
A. September hopefully
Q. I’m really excited by all this.. are you?
A. Yes. Yes we are

More big FFAF news coming soon.

Goodnight out there, whatever you are……”

Norma Jean update:

Citim pe MySpace:

“As you guys know, we have been in the process of finding a new drummer. So the past couple of months or so we have been playing shows, and writing songs with one of our good, long time friends playing drums. Its been a great experience and we are so happy to officially welcome Chris Raines into the family. Hes an awesome dude, and you have heard him play if you listen to the band Spitfire. And if you havent heard them, you should check em out. they got some new songs up.

By the way, we have been working on new a new record. and its been going so well. we couldnt be happier with how its coming along. we are really stoked on it and cant wait to get it out to you guys. thanks for all your support. we love you!!!!!!!!

Videoclipul nou Dillinger Escape Plan: “Milk Lizard“

Un stream la intregul, ultim, mult-asteptat album Mars Volta, “The Bedlam In Goliath” se poate gasi aici . Albumul apare in magazine pe 29 ianuarie.

Nu am mai scris de mult, si, wow! cate ni s-au asezat pe umeri, parca trebuia sa le postam odata si odata, desi sub forma unui mini-flood.

Incepem cu un preview la albumul solo al lui Jake Bannon de la Converge! Va fi un 7inch EP de fapt, intitulat “The Blood Of Thine Enemies”. EP-ul vine ca un precursor al full-length-ului “Wear Your Wounds”, a carui lansare nu a fost inca stabilita. Asteptam, Deathwish!

M83 au postat noul single de pe urmatorul album “Saturdays = Youth”, cu lansarea in aprilie. “Couleurs“

De pe 29 ianuarie apare ultimul Xiu Xiu: “Women As Lovers”, puteti gasi un stream la intregul album pe pagina lor de Myspace, si primul videoclip la “I Do What I Want, When I Want” pe youtube.

Conform Spin Magazine, noul album Death Cab For Cutie se va numi “Narrow Stairs”, iar lansarea este stabilita undeva in luna mai.

Stream la noul Heaven Shall Burn - “Iconoclast” aici.

A fost lansat Asiluum - Experimental music netlabel, un proiect Costin Chioreanu / Marius Costache. Citam din declaratia de pe site:

“Asiluum […] It’s not a real clinic and not another hidden predator for your pockets. This is a non-profit “something” that promotes underground artists. Unlike other netlabels we also create content instead of just uploading it directly from the artist. That means we also help the artists “signed” to Asiluum to become full time doctors and provide them studio time.”

Pe site gasim o sectiune audio - “ear treatment”, una video - “eye treatment” si una “magazine”. Indrazneti si open-minded baietii astia, le uram bafta multa si stam un ochii lag deschisi si urechile ciulite in directia lor!… Ah, si Asiluum a fost lansat deja cu un produs: “Nightpray - Five Hours Before and Sometimes After“. Repede, repede, l-am descarcat si am dat peste o bijuterie dark-ambient-experimental.
Un prim proiect, in componenta caruia se regasesc membrii fondatori Asiluum plus niste colaboratori importanti…. Dodsheimgard (!!!) si Satanochio.

Clinica fiind deschisa, bolnavi, slava Domnului ha!ha!ha! gramada, cat mai multe medicamente 100% compensate, Asiluum!
