Pearl Jam was one of the first ...

I know I shouldn’t start off with a rant, but what the hell.  I don’t listen to a lot of new rock music, because most of it sucks.  The Nickelbacks, Disturbeds, etc, and all of their clones have really ruined heavier rock music.  All of the bands sound the same and they seem to think that if you enough piercings, or tats, or whatever, bang out some power chords over mindless lyrics, that you are cool and you are tough and you are a rocker.  I’m sorry to tell you all that you are douche bags of ...

Who knew Kat Von D could sing? And not just sing, but play one hell of a classical piano too. Over this past weekend the L.A. Ink vixen decided to show off her musical chops at the Los Angeles Gay & Lesbian Center alongside Danny Lohner from Nine Inch Nails and Wes Borland of Limp Bizkit at Perry">Linda Perry’s annual “An Evening With Women” event by performing a soulful rendition of Bronski Beat's 1984 tune " Smalltown Boy ". Who knows, maybe there will be more performances like this in the future or possibly even more...

Caustic Casanova - Someday You Will Be Proven Correct An entirely savory amalgamation of stoner, post-punk, post metal, psychedelia, indy, and even a touch of space rock.  In fact, there's probably more mixed into the stew but my palate is too naive to detect it all.  What I can say is that the concoction works and tastes magnificent.  With a base stock of classic power-trio rock, the mad chefs of Caustic Casanova went wild in the kitchen mixing their cuisines, alternatingly adding some big chunks of meaty stoner riffs, some delicate flavorings of prog-esque space-rock passages, the occasional fire of ...

Death Rattle From: London, United Kingdom Gloomy, dark, doomy electro from London duo Death Rattle (not to be confused with the American queercore band of the same name, Death Rattle ), with battering beats that will shake your house to the foundations. If Fever Ray and Nine Inch Nails joined forces to cover Depeche Mode's Violator on the San Andreas fault the resulting cacophony would sound like Death Rattle.  Go Try   Do As You Please by Death Rattle   The Dig by Death Rattle Go Visit Death Rattle - Facebook : Website : Last.FM Go View Death Rattle Do As You Please Death ...

Remasters for the seminal post-punk godfathers of what would become “industrial.” (Not really industrial, but it inspired bands like Ministry and Nine Inch Nails, who somehow got wrongly lumped in with bands like Einsturzende Neubauten and Skinny Puppy, who really are industrial.) Unique here is the first-time-ever-on-CD Ha! Killing Joke Live, which documents the Revelations era of the band. All [...]

Back in October last year we were given a glimpse of the future according to The Unkindness of Ravens , and it was pretty bleak; a future of primal instincts, desolate industrial landscapes and 28 Days Later style chaos. The double A-side 'Viper/Virus' was a warning of things to come from this London/Berlin based duo, and now, over six months later, the inevitable outbreak is upon is in the form of the much anticipated debut album simply entitled Virus . You'll be hard pressed to find a more appropriate name as you don't so much listen to The ...

The incomparable fame of Nine Inch Nails. Golden Globe and Grammy wins for co-scoring with Atticus Ross David Fincher’s The Social Network.

Words: Simon Opie I wanted to collect up some varied new music from the UK that’s been coming in to FADED GLAMOUR Towers over the last few weeks and falling into the Altrock inbox. There’s a lot going on and this is only a fraction but it’s the part I feel is really worth passing on - featuring Static Plan , Since Monroe and Dissociates . First up is Guildford band Static Plan who have a self-released and self-titled 4-Track EP just out. It’s a self-confessed blend of influences from Nine Inch Nails to Radiohead , but I like it ...
