Hewlett-Packard on Friday unveiled its much-anticipated HP-branded iPod, a deal that instantly gives the company a popular product and greatly extends the retail reach of its partner, Apple Computer. Currently, Cupertino’s Apple has a healthy lead over its competition with its iPod digital music players and its iTunes Music Store. But competition is heating up. Other companies including Creative, Samsung and Sony have their own lineups of portable music players. Microsoft is expected to jump into the fray next week with its own online music service and an updated version of the Windows Media Player software. As for Friday’s unveiling… Read more »
Say Anything announce their new album Hebrews, out June 10th, and a summer headlining tour with The Front Bottoms, The So So Glos, and You Blew It!
On the brink of the release of their upcoming album Five Dice, All Threes, Bright Eyes have dropped their latest single from the full-length “Rainbow Overpass” featuring Alex Orange Drink of The So So Glos. Known to go big, it makes sense for the band to also announce an extensive North American Tour. The track follows their June release of “Bells And Whistles.” Where that song utilized easy-going instrumentations, “Rainbow Overpass” features gritty hits and fast-moving rhythms. Though they’ve collaborated before, vocalist Conor Oberst says this is the first time Alex has sung on one of their tracks. “He’s kinda… Read more »

Following the release of summer singles “Lost In Space,” “Take Me Back,” and “Chasing Low Vibrations,” Foster The People has officially released their fourth studio album, Paradise State Of Mind, via Atlantic Records. This marks the indie rock sensation’s first full album drop since 2017’s Sacred Hearts Club, featuring hit single “Sit Next To Me.” Across its 11 tracks, Paradise State Of Mind is widely inspired by the 1970s, notably infused with a range of jazz, gospel, and Motown. While Foster The People returns to the indie scene with their beloved ethereal vocals and sultry synth tones, they have matured… Read more »
Following a massively successful spring run on their …Is A Real Boy Tour celebrating the 20th anniversary of the group’s breakout album, …Is A Real Boy, Say Anything has announced a second fall leg of the tour. The group shares in a social media post, “17 shows full of grunting, screaming, sweat, lactose free milk, tears (we’ve cried on stage get over it), NA beers, shredding to NoFX backstage, and…. hopefully not any blood, but if anyone wants to incorporate some fake blood into their concert-drip-fit, please send receipts or make a story where you’re trying on the outfit in… Read more »
Sometimes the songs hidden between the singles on an album are the best ones. Maybe they weren’t front and center, but they play an integral part of the narrative. “Heart Of Gold” by Beauty School Dropout is a shining example of this notion. Not a primary focus of their sophomore album, READY TO EAT, but perhaps the last piece of the puzzle that when you step back, makes the effort complete. Arguably a song with one of the strongest melodies on the album, the band takes a staccato approach to the verses with lead singer, Colie Hutzler singing: “Trouble when… Read more »
