Imperial China: "Limbs"With its signal flare riffs, interlocking rhythms and rumbling, eyes-on-the-stratosphere majesty, "Limbs"-- the lead-off track from D.C. experimental punk trio Imperial China 's third album, How We Connect -- sounds like Mirrored -era Battles covering "Cherub Rock" at a space shuttle launch. Matt Johnson and Brian Porter's dueling guitars spit blowtorch sparks, as Patrick Gough's frantic drumming drives the track's escalating energy. Like any band making punk music in D.C., Imperial China's sound pays subtle respect to its local forbearers; you can hear traces of Fugazi in Porter's hollered vocals ("Think I'll live ...Pitchfork24 May 2012

This Week's Best Album Streams: 18th May 201 ..It's been a week of feuds. At The Great Escape it was whether electro-pop or the good old guitar affirmed their place as 2012 dominant force; with phenomenal shows from The Black Bells and Haim matching NZCA/Lines and Aiden Grimshaw –yes the X Factor one - it's a draw. The battle was mirrored is album stream land, with jaw dropping previews of Niki and The Dove, and Best Coast. This time, Malin's and Gustaf's electro anthems beat Bethany's slacker riff hands down. Equally decisive was the latest remarkable war between Fun Lovin' Criminals and Kenickie ...The 40518 May 2012

MP3: Fang IslandYou know what's a fun genre that we don't really hear anything about anymore? Math rock. Slint, the Dismemberment Plan, Battles (kind of). They were/are great groups heavily influenced by progressive rock with unique and unconventional time signatures. We've got another math rock group out now making waves (probably sine or cosine) called Fang Island. These Brooklyn rockers have a new tune out, "Asunder," and it's got enough fiery guitar moments to burn down not just the house but the neighborhBaebleMusic18 May 2012

Cobertura do festival Bananada 2012White Denim no Festival Bananada Procurando um lugar onde pudéssemos comprar cerveja às três da madrugada no centro de Goiânia, encontramos, próximo a um puteiro no qual alguns policiais acabavam de entrar, um boteco aberto. Na porta, junto a mendigos e crackeiros, sujeitos cabeludos com camisas de bandas de heavy metal. Dentro do bar, alguma banda de hard rock tocava alto. Em Goiânia, até os bares risca-faca são rock'n'roll. Goiânia é uma cidade cheia de hipsters e roqueiros. Ao menos essa é a impressão ao ficar três dias por lá, acompanhando parte da programação do festival Bananada. Celeiro ...Marcelo Santiago14 May 2012

MP3tunes driven into bankruptcy by EMIRemember mp3tunes? It was an early online music locker of the sort that are becoming increasingly common these days. But it never took off, mainly because EMI spent a long time calling for them to be closed down , even after they'd been given an OK from the courts. EMI will be happy now, though, as they've won their war of attrition. Mp3tunes have filed for protective bankruptcy. Mp3tunes aren't happy: "EMI spent an estimated $10 million dollars with multiple law firms to arm their attack against MP3tunes in an attempt to thwart unlicensed personal lockers," according to ...No Rock&Roll Fun12 May 2012

Song of the Day: Battles – Ice CreamThere’s little better than efficient creativity – and Battles has that combination down. The rock group blew listeners away with its first album, Mirrored, in 2007. Shortly after came Gloss Drop – and now (enter the efficient creativity component) – welcome Dross Glop. The band’s latest creation is unique, yet capitalizes on the second album’s tracks by remixing all of its original tracks via guest remixers including The Field, Kode9, and Qluster. The result? Awesomeness. My favorite track on the … →Panic Manual12 May 2012

Steven Tyler: toy storySteven Tyler has written a theme song for a forthcoming movie, and is proud of his work : The band's frontman thinks their track, 'Legendary Child', is the perfect song to accompany the forthcoming [...] movie [...] because its theme of the group struggling to overcome adversity in the music industry is reflected in the film characters' onscreen battles. And what is this titanic onscreen battle? It's, erm GI Joe: Retaliation. Surely the only way to really capture that film in music is by using a toy piano? -- Visit No Rock & Roll Fun to comment, complain and kvetchNo Rock&Roll Fun10 May 2012

Music Review: Grace Woodroofe - Always Want ..Grace Woodroofe Always Want [Modular; 2012] by Joe Hemmerling Rating: When I saw that the first three words of the press release for Always Want were “Australian folk-blues chanteuse,” my testicles crawled back up inside me. Visions of some awful repeat of the Ursa Minor debacle danced before my eyes like a flashback to some wartime atrocity. But while Grace Woodroofe’s debut wouldn’t exactly sound out of place sandwiched between Nora Jones and Califone on a Muzak Holdings LLC playlist, the young songwriter manages to side-step the biggest pitfalls of “folk-blues” pigeonholing to deliver a surprisingly diverse and ...Tiny Mix Tapes10 May 2012
