U.K. based hard rock band, Starseed, is set to release their debut of 'Peace Machine' on February 21st, 2012. The band, who includes Russell Spence (Vocals, Guitars), Gerald Gill (Guitar, Vocals), Peter Wicker (Guitar), Murray McChlery (Bass, Vocals) and Andrew Spence (Drums, Vocals), produce some of the most satisfying melodic hard rock. Epic energy, powerful, and riff driven rock with electrifying stage shows, their music grasps many elements of the post grunge scene drawing influences from early Pearl Jam and Alice In Chains to the power and torment of Soil. More recent comparisons include the tenacity and energy of ...

I know we have two posts already this week for Vincent">St. Vincent but how badly do their fans need to see them covering “Black” by Pearl Jam?!  that’s what we thought…

Today, Vincent">St. Vincent dropped the video for "Cheerleader," off last year's Strange Mercy (which we recently named No. 34 on our best albums of 2011 list ). The song's lyrics fit in remarkably well with the theme of the video, but we're starting to wonder: Annie (Clark, a.k.a. Vincent">St. Vincent), are you OK? Are you OK, Annie? (Hat tip to Vulture , but we were thinking it, too!) True to recent form (see: the equally gruesome video for "Cruel" ), Clark's latest short film brings the eyelinered, benzadrine-dream gaze and horrifically unlikely cause of death ...

A documentary portrait by filmmaker and avid music lover Cameron Crowe ("Almost Famous," "Pearl Jam Twenty"), "The Union" has a pretty simple concept: chronicling the making of The Union, the eponymously titled album by Elton John and the ultimate rock & roll session man Leon Russell, a musician also known for a solo career featuring his angelic yet gravely voice in songs that blend rock, country, blues, and gospel. What makes that premise notable is the fact that these two music legends are uniting for the first time in almost 40 years, after their '70s heyday. Beginning in 2010, "The Union ...

While on the surface it appeared as if Cameron Crowe laid dormant after 2005's "Elizabethtown," the truth is quite the opposite. The "Vanilla Sky" filmmaker wrote a Marvin Gaye film (still unproduced as of now) and a "Jerry Maguire"-like romantic comedy set in Hawaii with a spiritual element to it ("Deep Tiki," also unproduced), and in 2011, released two films: the documentary, "Pearl Jam Twenty," and the feature-length effort, "We Bought a Zoo" starring Matt Damon (which grossed almost $72 million domestically; not bad for a film which some called a box-office dude at first). Crowe also debuted ...

"Ao', sti dischi non se possò sentì..." Alla faccia della crisi economica e della crisi del disco, Pensieri Cannibali apre il suo personale negozio di dischi! E perlomeno apre una nuova rubrica. Non che qualcuno mi abbia chiesto di farla o ce ne fosse effettivamente bisogno, però ho deciso comunque di iniziarla. Così, per fare il punto della situazione dei dischi usciti negli ultimi giorni/settimane. L’appuntamento dovrebbe essere mensile, poi si vedrà, potrebbe anche essere ogni 2 settimane o ogni due mesi o ogni quanto mi pare… Ma basta cazzate, che saranno comunque presenti eccome ma limitate il ...

Some observations from Big Day Out veteran DARREN LEVIN as the festival celebrated its 20th year at Flemington Racecourse on Sunday (January 29). Photos by LEAH ROBERTSON . ‘Are you nice and sweaty?’ Attending a festival in 35-degree heat is difficult enough without bands telling you just how hot it is. “Hope you don’t die in this heat,” quipped Stonefield’s singer Amy Findlay at midday when the sun was at the height of its powers. “Are you nice and sweaty?” quizzed The Vaccines’ Justin Young. Kimbra Johnson asked us if we were “hot and sticky”, before Soundgarden’s Chris ...

Listening to Premedicated, the EP from English four-piece Dekota, I recall exactly how I became such an advocate of rock music. Here is a band that have seemingly resisted any urge to carelessly thrash out some distortion and scream throughout every song, but produced a raw, moody sound still exhibiting some hard-rock moments. First track, Dirty Secret is the optimal way to introduce the band to new listeners. Within the first minute one can identify how tastefully the musicians play together and cannot fail to acknowledge how suitably Rob Leeks voice rides the steady groove of the verse. From Dekotas ...

While neglecting my reviewing duties this past week (a sabatical I find myself needing from time to time in order to put into context the hefty amounts of music I take in over a short period of time), I found myself both procrastinating about and attempting to figure out King Giant , a relatively young and up-and-coming stoner/doom rock/metal outfit from Virginia. Dismal Hollow is only their 2nd release but, right away I realized, this was a band who had a voice that commanded attention. That voice is foremost the actual voice of frontman Dave Hammerly, who often enough ...

I’m trying to imagine being 18 and listening to Ten for the first time like I did when I was 18 in 1991. I can’t. I can only imagine listening to Pink Floyd’s Dark Side Of The Moon, which I must have heard as an album for the first time somewhere around that time. That album, which would also be [...]

Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder will be taking his solo act on the road for a brief tour beginning in April
