At what age does your feminist anger stop being qualified as "riot grrrl rage"? Kill My Blues,the Corin Tucker Band's sophomore album, is being heralded as the former Sleater-Kinney bandleader's default to her '91 Olympia factory settings. This is a fantastic prospect surely stoking our 1990s nostalgia and wiping the weird taste of her previous album off our palates, but it doesn't quite hold.
Tucker is now a grown-azz, 39-year-old woman, and on Kill My Blues she tackles topics that weren't on her riot girl radar at 20: mortality, the joy of conception, how she could use a vacation. She is singing from the perspective of her life as the mother of two kids who's maybe a little wistful for days when her life was a little more carefree and Joey Ramone was still above ground. Her rage is no more than that of any American who's paying attention in 2012.
California rockers PAPA ROACH will release their new album, "The Connection", on October 2 via Eleven Seven Music. The CD was recorded at the band's hometown studio, The Red House in Sacramento, California, and was produced by rock veteran James Michael (SIXX: A.M., HALESTORM) and John Feldmann (PANIC AT THE DISCO, THE USED, ESCAPE THE FATE).
The first single from "The Connection" is a track called "Still Swinging", which many fans may have heard during last night's Major League Baseball All Stars Home Run Derby on ESPN. The track will be featured byESPN/MLB in select games/events for the next few weeks.
A snippet of the track and behind-the-scenes footage of the band filming its video in New York City with David Brodsky of Brooklyn, New York'sMyGoodEye Music Visuals (HELLYEAH, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER,GOATWHORE, MUNICIPAL WASTE, SUFFOCATION) is available below.

Detonated out of their home town of Luton, this fresh faced quintet blend the dramatic flair of early Funeral For A Friend with the soaring pop nouse of Young Guns and My Chemical Romance. For every foot stamping chorus there is a majestic riff… for every infectious groove there is a lifting melody. Like Jimmy Eat World mashed into Thrice, this is intelligent, passionate music.
Formed in 2009, the band have already made their mark on the increasingly bright and exciting UK scene, having headlined the BBC Introducing Stage at this year’s Love Luton Festival, played shows with Enter Shikari, We are The Ocean, Young Guns, Deaf Havana, Don Broco, My Passion (and more) and been the first band EVER to play live on a BBC Introducing show.
The Killers are apparently Mitt Romney’s favourite contemporary rock band, or at least the only one it is safe for the presidential candidate to mention. Like Conservative politicians in Britain, Republicans are at a disadvantage when it comes to advertising their music taste, at risk of being denounced by alternative bands unwilling to be associated with right-wing ideologies. The Killers, however, have proved unusually gracious.
“Anyone’s allowed to like us,” bassist Mark Stoermer responded. The association, of course, centres on singer and chief songwriter Brandon Flowers sharing Romney’s Mormon faith, but it may also run deeper. Despite their sinister name and edgy image, the Killers are an intrinsically conservative band.
Heartbreaks & Happy Endings is doing very well as an independent release. We’d like to thank each and every one of you that has purchased our debut full-length record. So far, we have sold units in Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, Illinois, Tennessee, and South Carolina!
Make sure to read this incredible review of “Heartbreaks” by Egor Sadovnic, Executive Director of Melos Entertainment, HERE. Egor’s word choice is quite articulate and aptly describes the vision of Ariemma and Co.

Regular listeners of 3FM and related stations have through the pleading Dance With Me already acquainted with the unmistakable qualities of Kill Ferelli (consisting of members of the Limburg bands Dreadlock Pussy, Liftid, Viberider and SAT2D), which also have an EP on his name.
A Modern Scenery brings us with any short crackling (of inpluggende instruments?) First in the energetic Devil Zone, but offers with songs like NYC, July and slightly leaning to Lacuna Coil The Messenger also many lyrical moments.
Characteristic of this band are passionate and captivating vocals of front lady Kelly Kockelkoren and compact, appealing directly to the construction of numerous exuberant choruses interspersed songs. Everything, to the occasional guitar solos in Mr.. Niceguy and Blush is as concise as effectively.
With a new album on the horizon, the love-hate relationship between Billy Talent and myself continues. On the one hand they seemed so edgy when I was in high school and a small part of the nostalgia of that time remains; no one could freak out on stage like Ben Kowalewicz. On the other hand, what had made them interesting in years passed has not changed or re-developed since, rendering much of the music produced by this band stale to the ear.
The song “Hanging by a Thread”, a track on the band’s new album Dead Silence, said it perfectly; some things never change. Billy Talent created a market for itself long ago; the music has almost become classic and the band has not stopped milking their gimmick-like sounds since.
