As their summer tour gets underway, Dave Matthews Band returns with the new song “Gaucho.”
The Singles Bar: Texas Hippie Coalition’s “Turn It Up”
The unstoppable Texas Hippie Coalition is back to bring you to your knees in praise of their latest single “Turn It Up” off of their next full-length Peacemaker due out this summer. Unlike the riff heavy “Pissed Off And Mad About It” from Rollin’, “Turn It Up” rocks on a new level and is easily the metal jam of the summer. Don’t get me wrong, the riffs are definitely there but “Turn It Up” brings so much more with a sleek melody and […]
The Singles Bar: Baroness “Take My Bones Away”
Five minutes of music is definitely not a fair amount of time to indicate what a double album is going to sound like but if “Take My Bones Away” by Baroness is even a fraction of what the rest of Yellow & Green sounds like then I think fans are gonna be happy. “Take My Bones Away” is a little more crisp sounding then Blue or Red but it still sounds magnificent. Adding some Clutch-like riffing with the usual swamp […]
The Singles Bar: Nachtmystium’s “As Made”
I can’t believe what I’m saying but if you really crave Ministry circa A Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste or The Land Of Rape And Honey, then black metallers Nachtmystium are looking to fill that void for you. On “As Made” (Released as a 7″ only and not a part of their next studio album Silencing Machine due July 31st on Century Media), Nachtmystium blast back after a two year gap ready to raise the bar again. “As […]
The Singles Bar: American Head Charge “Sugars Of Someday”
American Head Charge are back with “Sugars Of Someday” off the upcoming Interstice EP!! Check their new song out.
The Singles Bar: The Melvins “Leon Vs. The Revolution”
Barely a month away from their latest opus Freak Puke and we finally get a taste of what Melvins Lite is all about. Don’t be frightened! Melvins Lite is essentially Melvins circa 1993 with the band operating as a 3-piece with usual co-conspirators King Buzzo and Dale Crover being joined by none other than Trevor Dunn (Fantomas, Mr. Bungle) on bass. “Leon Vs. The Revolution” sees Buzzo laying down some of his chunkiest riffs yet. Crover packs a wallop behind […]
The Singles Bar: Tom Vek’s “You’ll Stay”
Please, please, please say that “You’ll Stay” is the harbinger for a new Tom Vek record in 2012. It was too long between Vek’s stellar debut We Have Sound and his follow-up Leisure Seizure so a quick album number three would make sense, right? Since last year’s sophomore stand out, Vek’s been remixing like crazy, playing overseas (Please come to North America for a proper tour?), and laying down unforgettable vocals to DJ Shadow songs (“Warning Call” off of Shadow’s […]
The Singles Bar: Ben Folds Five’s “Do It Anyway”
Ben Folds Five is officially back! Check out their new single “Do It Anyway.”
The Singles Bar: Gojira’s “L’Enfant Sauvage”
One of the best metal songs to be released this year, “L’Enfant Sauvage” (Off Gojira’s upcoming L’Enfant Sauvage due on June 26th through Roadrunner Records) harkens back to From Mars To Sirius in the best way possible. If you were disappointed that the Sea Shepherd EP never came to fruition (It’s still supposedly coming), then the machine gun drum and guitar attack that permeates throughout “L’Enfant Sauvage” is sure to make up for it. Joe Duplantier sounds as enraged as ever […]
The Singles Bar: Eric Benet’s “Harriett Jones”
There are still people named Harriet? For the second single from his upcoming album, The One (due June 5th,) soul singer Eric Benet is visiting a topic quite familiar to him…the struggle of monogamy. The horn-spiked “Harriett (sp.) Jones” is pretty damn catchy and utilizes the familiarity of “Sweet Chariot” quite well without ripping off the spiritual of the same name. You pretty much know what you’re gonna get from Eric Benet at this point–either ya dig him or ya […]
The Singles Bar: Spineshank’s “Nothing Left For Me”
Spineshank throws fans a curveball with the surprisingly melodic “Noting Left For Me” off the upcoming Anger Denial Acceptance album.
The Singles Bar: Maximo Park’s “Hips And Lips”
Maximo Park blast back after a far too long absence with “Hips And Lips” off the upcoming album The National Health.
