Northern Faces will head out on a co-healdine run with Buried Beds in January. The band, who have toured with the likes of Say Anything and RX Bandits, are currently writing for their debut full-length album, which is expected to be released in 2014.
Well that didn’t take long. SoundCloud user GreaterThan has posted a mashup of Fall Out Boy’s “My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark” and Panic! At The Disco’s new track “Miss Jackson.” The result? “Miss Jackson Knows What you Did In The Dark.”
The latest recruits to Equal Vision Records, Northern Faces recently released their debut EP Southern Places, a strong effort consisting of five self-produced tunes that spotlight the band’s indie rock roots while pulling elements from noise, experimental, and even blues rock.
The man accused of attacking Noel Gallagher onstage in Toronto last year has had his charge upgraded. Gallagher broke several ribs after Daniel Sullivan 47, ran onstage and pushed the guitarist onto his monitors during Oasis’s Virgin Festival gig in Toronto last September.

It’s a tax. However, even if we step back and pretend it’s really a voluntary license, and even if we grant the premise… Read more »
LOS ANGELES — In an election otherwise full of liberal triumphs, the gay rights movement suffered a stunning defeat as California voters approved a ban on same-sex marriages that overrides a recent court decision legalizing them. The constitutional amendment – widely seen as the most momentous of the nation’s 153 ballot measures – will limit marriage to heterosexual couples, the first time such a vote has taken place in a state where gay unions are legal. Gay-rights activists had a rough election elsewhere as well. Ban-gay-marriage amendments were approved in Arizona and Florida, and Arkansas voters approved a measure banning… Read more »
Folksy French-Israeli singer Yael Naim found commercial success after her song “New Soul” played in Apple’s MacBook Air laptop ads, pushing the song to No. 7 on U.S. music chart Billboard’s Hot 100. She already had gained fame for what some saw as a comic choice to cover pop singer Britney Spear’s “Toxic,” singing a soulful, poignant version of the commercial hit while playing piano. But Naim, 29, whose self-titled new album was just released in the United States two months earlier than originally planned following the success of the Apple ad, says she’s not worried about being seen as… Read more »
