Check out new tracks from Muse, Primal Scream, The Grates and La Rocca! Why are you not clicking here yet?
Bjorn Baillie,
lead singer of La Rocca, says “I want to be the best
songwriter of my generation.”
Judging by La Rocca’s debut album, The Truth, due
August 8,
2006, on Dangerbird Records,
he’s off to an excellent start.
Further evidence: the EP Sing Song Sung,
released Feb. 14 on Dangerbird.
Bjorn, keyboardist/guitarist/singer Nick Haworth – okay, he’s actually English – bassist/singer Simon Baillie and drummer Alan Redmond duly progressed from the stages of Cardiff to Dublin and then to London. Bjorn recalls: “We were driving down to London and playing at these famous clubs. But we had this tatty gear and we’d be wearing God knows what. We’d look at the other bands, who had all these cases and looked incredible, and think, ‘Now THAT is a proper band.’”
Check out "This Life" now!
Muse is back with a new album after the cult hit that is Absolution. But be aware, the new Muse is a little different. Complete with horns, political stances, and more sonic oddities than you can shake a stick at, Muse is back with Black Holes and Revelations. Get ready for a new and improved Muse.
Listen to "Knights of Cydonia" here!
Living legends Primal Scream are back with a new album called Riot City Blues.
Check out the new song "Country Girl".
The Grates struck American gold with last year’s acclaimed EP The Ouch. The Touch. Since its release last August, the band has toured all over the globe with the Arctic Monkeys, the Go! Team, the Zutons, We Are Scientists and many more, honing their incredible live show to perfection and wowing audiences worldwide. They also had their very own sold out headlining tour in Australia upon Gravity Won’t Get You High’s Aussie release, which put the band in the Top Ten of the Aussie equivalent of the Billboard charts!!
