The much-anticipated new studio album from Regina Spektor, What We Saw From The Cheap Seats, is set for release on Sire/Warner Bros. Records in late spring 2012. The album reunites Spektor with production partner Mike Elizondo (Eminem, Fiona Apple, Dr. Dre) and is her first album of new material since 2009’s far. What We Saw From The Cheap Seats will launch with a first listen track “All The Rowboats” which…
After careful, weeklong consideration, Terry Malts (San Francisco, CA) have decided to go forth and record a debut LP as per the request of Slumberland Records. Displaying a slick, intelligent take on modern chainsaw pop, KILLING TIME certainly lives up to its name! The wrong turns that led us here: a 6-song cassette (Log Lady; 2010, now in its second pressing), and two 7″ singles (both Slumberland; 2011). Who is/are/was/will…
There is a lot of noise that is typically generated at the 120mm mark on fans. I believe that many individuals have the bottom of the barrel in their computer, which leads to a great amount of the noise that is typically heard. However, Noctua has a solution to this problem. Their NF-P12 PWM kit provides computer builders with strong air displacement and an incredibly small increase in noise from…
They shared the stage with Madonna at the Bridgestone Super Bowl halftime show, now LMFAO is ready to take their party rock anthems on the road as Redfoo and Cherrytree Present: Sorry for Party Rocking Tour Featuring LMFAO and the Party Rock Crew and Special Guests Far East Movement, The Quest Crew, Sidney Samson, Eva Simons and Natalia Kills. The Live Nation promoted tour kicks off May 22nd in Columbus,…
These are some comfy shoes. They are also incredibly versatile, and should be the next purchase when one gets their taxes back or a Spring disbursement. This is because Kuru is able to create a fashionable shoe that is comfortable while providing arch and back support. Taken all together, the Chicane is a shoe that performs admirably no matter what one throws at it. The tread will provide considerable traction…
After wrapping a string of successful tour dates supporting Built To Spill on the West Coast, the Sacramento-based Sister Crayon have announced they will again be hitting the road. The West Coast portion of the tour will be in support of Memoryhouse and then the band will embark on lengthy national tour of headlining dates including an April residency in NYC at Piano’s presented by Pop Gun. With the release…
I believe that the title of this Player’s Option paints a decidedly different picture than what is ultimately present. Heroes of Elemental Chaos just seems like a nebulous concept, but Baker and Schwalb are able to make a capsule universe that works perfectly using 4e rules. I believe that the different classes (Sha’ir, Elementalist) can work in a wide variety of campaign settings, while exhibiting a certain difference that makes…

6131 Records have teamed with Alternative Press to offer an exclusive premiere of “Cut Me Out” from Mesa, Arizona’s THE BEAUTIFUL ONES. The song will appear on the band’s forthcoming Birth Of Desire EP, being released by 6131 Records on April 16th and available for preorder now. Birth Of Desire demonstrates just why THE BEAUTIFUL ONES have been causing such a stir lately, incorporating elements of both heavy, anthem-laden hardcore…
I Melt With You is an interesting take on the party film. While a number of these titles would just focus on the debauchery present between the main characters, I Melt With You showcases the cathartic side of these type of social meetings. Jeremy Piven, Christian McKay, and Thomas Jane unite in what seems like a normal group tying one on. By the end of the weekend, they are able…

I personally thought the choice to put 20th century tracks in A Knight’s Tale showed the utter excess and lack of tradition that the movie industry had for period pieces. I think that Air’s commission to generate a soundtrack for the recently-restored Le Voyage Dans La Lune represents an entirely different beast. This is because Le Voyage Dans La Lune is a story about a trip to the moon, while…
Georgia pop punk quartet, Freshman 15, is excited to announce a string of US tour dates with Texas pop/rock band, Bowling For Soup. The spring tour will kick off in mid-April, following F15’s March run with City Lights on “Tour Up From The Floor Up,” and a UK jaunt with The Bottom Line. New York pop punk outfit, Patent Pending, will round out the line-up for Bowling For Soup’s spring…
On Better Luck Next Life, Royal Baths are able to take strains from two distinct rock styles (the more psychedelic rock overtones of Faster, Harder with the pre-grunge workings of a Neil Young). While other bands would have problems creating their own distinct musical style separate from these two musical styles, every track on Better Luck Next Life is an ode to how the band marches to their own drummer.…
Atlanta Hardcore stalwarts Foundation are set to head out on tour supporting Comeback Kid starting March 18th in San Antonio, TX, just two days after their SXSW appearance at the Shirts For A Cure 10th Anniversary showcase. All tour dates are listed below and the Symptoms & Cures tour, which also features Such Gold and Living With Lions, will take the bands to the South, East, Midwest, West Coast, and…
Candlelight Records is proud to announce the signing of hardcore/metal veterans VISION OF DISORDER. “Before the word ‘metalcore’ existed… VISION OF DISORDER did” stated the band. “We did what we did because WE loved it, not because we thought others might. 20 years later we’re, once again, at work with the same approach. After a newly inked deal on Candlelight Records, we are about to begin tracking on our…
As producer and a writer for HBO’s cops and drug dealers drama The Wire, George Pelecanos managed to take what could have been yet another paint-by-numbers police show (pretty much everything since Law & Order) and helped turn it into one of the most talked about series to come on TV since The Sopranos (fans still look on with a mix of superiority and disgust when they come across someone…
Considering all of the music bio pics that have been made over the past few years there has surprisingly never been one based (yet) on Queen, one of the most outrageous stadium-filling rock bands of the 70’s and 80’s (and that’s saying a lot when you consider how outrageous those decades were for rock bands). Until that inevitable film is made, this music documentary on the British band serves as…
Barsuk Records is thrilled to debut “The Shakedown”, the second single off Yellow Ostrich’s sophomore LP Strange Land, out March 6th. Singer/guitarist Alex Schaaf noted Neil Young’s influence on the guitar part, while claiming that “the song is about imaginary people.” Rolling Stone premiered the “catchy and guitar-heavy” track. Yellow Ostrich will soon embark on a spring tour in support of Strange Land. The tour begins in Allston, MA at Great…
