UK producer/DJ Orlando Higginbottom (a.k.a. Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs ) is only a few weeks away from dropping his debut long-player, Trouble . Now, we no longer have to wait to get our first taste of what’s to come, thanks to this video for the album’s track, “American Dream Part II.” Watch this video on Beatportal

As you may recall, singer Jonny Craig went through his fair share of… legal trouble. So much so that Dance Gavin Dance originally announced plans to go on a hiatus. Thus, it was somewhat surprising to learn that the post-hardcore band were confirmed for select dates on this year’s All Stars Tour. What does this [...]

Orlando Higginbottom, joven productor de música electrónica originario de Oxford, Reino Unido, mejor conocido como Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs ha estrenado el videoclip del tema “American Dream Part II” que aparecerá en su álbum debut Trouble, a la venta el próximo 11 de junio a través de Polydor Records.

Drummer Jeff "Oly" Olson has quit THE SKULL, the band he formed with fellow original member of Chicago doom legends TROUBLE, vocalist Wagner">Eric Wagner, and the band's longtime bassist, Ron Holzner.

We've been a fan of Night Beats since their arrival on a 7" at Trouble in Mind a few years back, and last year's full length only cemented that love. Not to mention a set at SXSW that proved them a force to be contended with. Now the band has teamed up for a limited split with Californians TRMRS presented by Volcom and Santa Ana record store Resurrection Records. The split sees both bands putting the fury on hiatus and taking the road to slow-burn, smoldering garage-psych territory. Night Beats in particular cook through "Messiah" with an intensity ...

A couple of days ago, Queens rapper Action Bronson posted a pair of offensive Instagram photos and captions, referring to a transgender woman as “it,” among other gross decisions. It led to him shutting down his Instagram account, and later unleashed a screed of not-quite-apologies on Twitter(which is still happening). The fallout from that, however, [...]

Someone please let high school be over. I am having trouble dealing with it. Please please make it end.

Part of the appeal of Queens rapper Action Bronson is that he seems to live gleefully on the fringes and in the underbellies of life-- he's crass and disgusting and makes no apologies for it. And it's always seemed pretty benevolent. But yesterday, it crossed over into unsettling territory when he went on a Twitter tear in which he posted Instagram photos of a supposedly incapacitated transgender person that a friend of his had poured water on. "Close up of Drunk Mexican Tranny after Bes poured a Bottle of water on its head" and, "Big Body Posin wit ...

Um eines der spannendsten, britischen Elektroniktalente kann dieser Tage keiner einen Bogen machen: Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs. Hinter dem pompösen Namen verbirgt sich das Musikprojekt des relativ unscheinbaren Oxforders Orlando Higginbottom. Seinen frische Melange aus clubtauglichen Beats, brodelnden Synthies und Live-Vocals bringt er heute Abend auf die Bühne im Londoner Koko Club. Und bevor jetzt die eine oder andere Träne vergossen wird, könnt ihr euch freuen heute Abend (quasi) live dabei zu sein. Wie das gehen soll? Ganz einfach, mit nur einem Klick: die Show wird nämlich ab 22 Uhr zeitgleich »hier übertragen. An dieser Stelle könnt ihr euch schon ...

The Knack--"My Sharona" (mp3) Here's a tricky one.  I have a friend for whom his "persona" seems to have become him.  And I have become weary of that.  And I don't really like the persona, for one simple reason:  I don't believe it. I watch him stand in front of a group and I see the bluster, I see the mock-not caring, I see the pretend-angry, and I think, this has gotten so old, the only reason that you can continue to pull this off is because of the regular turnover of your audience.  I also ...

This particular Forgotten Gem is going to be a little different. For one thing Salem, Ohio's R.U. Deadly were never able to secure a record contract. The band, which was active from 1987 to 1998, released three demos ("Burial at Sea" in 1990, "Into the Light" in 1992 and "R.U. Deadly" in 1995) and shared the stage with such acts as Manowar, LA Guns, Bruce Dickinson (solo tour), Chastain, Blue Oyster Cult, Slaughter, Blackfoot, Molly Hatchet, Noisy Mama, and Pat Travers. Despite a sizable cult following and positive press this four-piece remained unsigned. While a reunion did ...

A beautifully made video by ADAM for TEED for half the instrumental song ‘American Dream Part II’ which features on Trouble, Orlando Higginbottom’s (yes, still his real name) debut album out on June 11th. Deezer are going to be showing … Read More... →

T.I. will release Trouble Man, his eighth platter, on Sept. 4. It follows No Mercy, which came out while he was in federal prison, leaving him little opportunity to promote the disc. Needless to say, that disc tanked. That won't be the case this time out, since Tip will be available to make it work
