U2 Fan’s Just Have to Wait
Yeah U2 will have another album coming out soon, which will be number 12 for the Irish band — but they’re not rushing. In a recent interview with the band, they were very adamant about holding out on the album until it is perfect, as relevant as it can be. They do not want to […]
Temples Live at Great Scott
For music fans, the city of Liverpool instantly conjures images of THAT band. You know them… They had the hair and the mustaches and made those albums that defined modern western music and wrote about a yellow submarine and Strawberry Fields… Anyway, THAT band played a pretty key-role in the psychedelia scene in the sixties […]

The Horrors Talk About New Album
The Horrors started off as psych-goth rockers enthrall to obscure 60s garage rock, impossibly skinny jeans and big hair.
