Three huge names have announced a summer tour, and you’re not going to believe your eyes when you see who it is: are all going to be headed to a city near you! The dates are on the flyer, and you’re in for it, as the these bands have never been billed together like this before.

	NERD’s ‘Everyone Nose’ About The Yayo? Posted on May 15th, 2008 by zebra | +Add a Comment » | 32 views

‘Skateboard P’ and NERD have just released a video to their new single, ‘Everyone Nose’. Now it doesn’t take a very intelligent person to realize that this song is about the Yayo. The video features skanky girls going in and out of bathrooms, sweating and wiping their nostrils. If you have the time to watch the video, you will also notice appearances by Kanye West, Lindsay Lohan and Corey Kennedy. 

So here’s the question, is Pharrell and the NERD crew, pro or anti-drugs? It’s hard to tell but this video is LAME.

	The Dandy Warhols Comeback Again Posted on May 14th, 2008 by sirjorge | +Add a Comment » | 24 views

I admit, the Dandy Warhols were cool a while back, and then I saw the movie “Dig!” and I thought the band was a bunch of lousy whining idiots. Meanwhile, I started to listen to their arch rivals, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, and then snapped out of it when the new Living Sacrifice Album came out.

But after a long stint in musical limbo, of sorts, the Warhols are back with new music and a tour of the earth that actually likes them.

The new album will be streamed first to their loyal fans via their website, and released in physical form through their very own label. If you’re interested in all that…check out the official Dandy Warhols website, and if you’re lucky see them on tour.

I saw them recently, and they aren’t half bad…which means they aren’t half good either.

	New Metallica Album Leak Posted on May 12th, 2008 by sirjorge | +Add a Comment » | 53 views

Metallica has been working on a new album, and has given a trailer with a little clip of sounds…and the metal nation is buzzing. Could this be a return to form for the guys? Is this going to be better than St. Anger?

Or will this be another “Some Kind of Monster” moment and ruin whatever credibility that Metallica has left?

Time will tell.

The video below is only a taste…and it’s not much to go by, but it is the first leak of its kind.

Facedown Records has really been doing great things for the metal,hxc, and music scene as a whole. They’ve continually developed great music, and are growing by leaps and bounds. This is a great thing, considering that the rest of the music industry is suffering from poor sales all around. One thing I’ve always loved about Facedown Records is their commitment to the d.i.y mentality, and continual push of the scene, regardless of what anyone believes.

Here’s the latest video from one of the best bands on their hxc roster, For Today, followed by their latest tourdates.

Mixel Pixel
Let’s Be Friends
Mental Monkey

Mixel Pixel has enjoyed success since ten years ago when they formed in Delaware. After four albums, the band has come across a proven formula for greatness. Blending hollow distant vocals from both Rob Corradetti and Kaia Wong, Atari-inspired sound effects and samples, electronic beats, bluesy organ, and hollow echoing guitar, Let’s Be Friends casts a soft vibe into your ears. Like a sun emitting its morning glow, the album immediately initiates your friendship. Rob, visual artist and founding member of the band, drew the artwork on the cover depicting subjects as diverse as the album’s lyrics and sonic utterances. Sure. It deals with cats, sweaters, death, drugs, fashion, lightning, loneliness, New York City, rebirth, and sex. But the success of the album lies in the lover/friend dilemma. Released on Mental Monkey records, Let’s Be Friends will either be an album to fall in love with instantly, or merely one to comfort you in times of loneliness. On “Distant Station”, the last track and also my favorite, lyrics about heartbreak, warm guitar and mellow keyboard exude warmness. Kaia explains “my love for you is like a secret potion”, proving the album would like to love you. Please do the same. – Jonathan Mendick, Mannerist Zine

	Clutch Starts Record Label Posted on May 6th, 2008 by sirjorge | +Add a Comment » | 41 views

I’ve always said that independent record labels can still thrive and make a lot of money by selling music, t-shirts, and other things. I also am a firm believer in bands using their notoriety to help smaller, up and coming bands, progress and become bigger bands. Clutch is doing a combination of that, with their latest announcement that they are going to start their own record label. The record label is going to be called Weathermaker Music, and will focus on releasing quality music to the masses. Clutch will continue to make music and hopefully release future releases through their own imprint. No word about distribution was mentioned yet, but I’m sure anyone that has followed Clutch for some time, will agree that that’s the least of their worries; especially when the major labels are losing money hand over fist.

	Monotonix “Body Language” Posted on May 5th, 2008 by Mannerist Zine | +Add a Comment » | 52 views

Monotonix
Body Language
Drag City

In spite of a grueling tour schedule last year, which on average included more than a show every other day, Monotonix persisted and recently recorded an incendiary EP Body Language. The title track, also my favorite, proclaims the band’s manifesto, “my body language says I’m not afraid”. More pure muscle than careful masterpiece, these six songs capture Yonatan Gat’s amateurish guitar sound, Ami Shalev’s spirited vocals, and a knack for primal minimalist drumming that would make punk purists proud. Before now, the only way to hear Monotonix was if you were lucky (or crazy) enough to attend one of their gritty live shows. Amassing a reputation for making Iggy Pop-esque interactions with the crowd, they’ve moved beyond merely smearing peanut butter on themselves. Instead they spew entire beer bottles into your face. Sometimes at shows, while on fire (literally) lead singer Ami chases after you. You become a greater part of the show when the trio, now signed to the Chicago based Drag City label, performs another infamous move: the drummer, kit included, crowd surfs while continuing to pound the beat. Originally hailing from Tel Aviv, Israel, Monotonix are currently on a massive tour in the U.S. – Jonathan Mendick, Mannerist Zine
