On June 13, Foo Fighters premiered “Unconditional” for lucky attendees of their Emirates Old Trafford show in Manchester, England. However, the song is, by no means, “new.” In fact, it’s an unreleased demo that was never fully realized. A band representative noted, “The band’s rediscovery of ‘Unconditional’ happened in true spontaneous Foo Fighters fashion. The song came up in conversation during rehearsals for the UK tour, and all it took was one run-through. The decision was made instantly to share it with everyone in the same way — live.” Check out the live performance of “Unconditional” below, courtesy of @foofighterslive… Read more »

A special band. An iconic venue. A life-changing night.
If you were at The 1975’s show in Manchester, we’re jealous of you. Beyond the obvious reason, the band performed their debut album. Fans in attendance had no idea it was coming and if we were there, we would have felt all the emotions. This was a more intimate show than we’ve seen from the band while they’ve been on tour in support of their new album, Being Funny in a Foreign Language. Fans got to feel up close and personal, all while listening to the songs that made them fall in love with the band in the first place.… Read more »
Today we’ve got Metallica announcing a reissue of their self-titled The Black Album and a 53 song covers album, Pure Noise Records drops LoFi Volume, and Manchester Orchestra reveals the dates for The Million Masks of God tour.
Manchester Orchestra released a new album today, titled ‘Hope’. The album is a re-imagined companion to April’s debut of COPE and features the same track list in a softer setting. The band will also tour to support ‘Hope’ late this fall.
With running themes, allusions, and a distinct motif of the supernatural, Cope is definitely an album you want to have tucked away high on your shelf for years to come.
