New Bleeding Through Song: Listen Now!

bleeding-through-band.jpg


Orange County hardcore/metal hybrid Bleeding Through just posted a new song titled "Goodbye to Death," a track from the band's latest, The Great Fire, slated for a Jan. 31 release.

As you might expect, the song is heavy.

Recently, I interviewed Bleeding Through guitarist Dave Nassie and asked him specifically about this song, which I assumed was a reference to Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey (sure, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure is a classic, but in my humble opinion, Bogus Journey is one of the greatest and most underrated sequels in film history). I won't give away Nassie's answer, but I will say this: Sadly, it's not about that hilarious scene in which Bill S. Preston, Esq., and Ted "Theodore" Logan play the Grim Reaper in Battleship, Clue, electronic football and Twister.

[LISTEN] Florence and the Machine's New Song From the New Album: 'What the Water Gave Me'

Florence and the Machine's multi-million selling, multi-award winning debut Lungs was phenomenal, and with her sophomore set (recorded at Studio 3 of Abbey Road) is set for release soon. A song off the yet untitled album called "What the Water Gave Me" was released today.

The video, which you can watch after the jump, is "a song for the water..." says Florence. "Because in music and art what I'm really interested in are the things that are overwhelming. The ocean seems to me to be nature's great overwhelmer. When I was writing this song I was thinking a lot about all those people who've lost their lives in vain attempts to save their loved ones from drowning. It's about water in all forms and all bodies. It's about a lot of things; Virginia Woolf creeps into it, and of course Frida Kahlo, whose painfully beautiful painting gave me the title." More >>

Fall Out Boy Fail: Buddy Holly Tribute is Overproduced and Kitschy

Categories: album preview

With what would have been Buddy Holly's 75th birthday fast approaching, record companies are predictably shifting to tribute mode and cashing in. Late June witnessed the release of Fantasy Records' compilation Rave On Buddy Holly, which featured covers of the rock pioneers songs by Paul McCartney, She & Him and My Morning Jacket. Not to be outdone, Verve Forecast will be releasing its own compilation tribute Listen to Me: Buddy Holly featuring Ringo Starr, Chris Isaak and-- cough--Fall Out Boy front man Patrick Stump. Though Verve's choice of some of the artists seems to indicate otherwise, the label assures us this is a tribute.

Feist! We've missed you so, and it's been torture watching those little vignettes from Metals, your third full length release that took FOUR YEARS TO MAKE, without ever hearing a real song. (Waiting for an album for that long was its own form of torture, too!)
Now that you've finally released an ACTUAL song, it's been on repeat for the past hour. So, thank you. Listen to the beautiful "How Come You Never Go There" after the jump.

LA Weekly

Feist's latest opus--her third, called Metals, is set for an Oct. 4 release date. To promote it, she's been releasing a series of video vignettes that offer a glimpse into the record. To be honest you can't even really glean what the songs will sound like when watching the vignettes, so they're more like moving photographs of Feist.

At any rate, fans can pre-order Metals starting tomorrow, Aug. 3, as a bundle in different formats with tickets for the first round of European and North American tour dates. Check out listentofeist.com for details. Feist will be at the Wiltern on Nov. 12.

Wu-Tang Clan Regroups for 'Legendary Weapons'

The constant question surrounding every new Wu-Tang Clan album is whether the "Slums of Shaolin" MCs are still "nothin' to fuck wit." The deep imprint of Wu members was felt on Kanye West's ultra-hyped My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy letting hip-hop heads know where they stood among the newcomers featured on the effort. Raekwon's 2011 solo effort Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang posted strong chart positions upon its release illustrating that individual members still have staying power on their own away from the group.More >>

Tomorrows Tulips Blossom with New Album

Thumbnail image for ttulips-photo_72dpi.jpg
While many young bands eagerly await the day that they're able to record in the big, professional studio and get out of their garage, Alex Knost and Christina Kee learned the merits of keeping it simple. Tomorrows Tulips began recording their debut album, Eternally Teenage, at Costa Mesa's The Distillery with friend Mike McHugh on reel to reel tape. After recording half of the album analog, the duo headed up to a studio that shall remain nameless in San Francisco, per the recommendation of Galaxia Records, to finish up the last half of the album. The result was underwhelming to Knost and Kee. Singer Knost attributes this to a variety of reasons, among them the value of recording analog.

They then decided to come back home and finish the album where they started. The end product is Eternally Teenage, a 14 song album more suited to their sparse and sweet lo-fi sound. We spoke to singer Knost in anticipation of his new album, out Tuesday, and show Saturday at Burger Records in Fullerton.
