 Fierce Creatures emerged from the scorching Fresno, CA summer of 2009. Abandoning past musical undertakings that never quite seemed to fit, the band came together to build an identity free of limitations – an identity focused on the joy of undiluted music. Guitars and keys drive their tunes, while mandolin, harmonica, and bells accentuate them with chanting choruses and a miscellany of percussion. The product: cultivated art-pop that can only be called Fierce Creatures. Dig the clips and tunes below, and if you’re into it you can snag the debut EP I Mostri Feroci here. Fierce Creatures is: Check out more Band To Watch: Fierce Creatures…
 Officially, “The Bowl welcomes the longed-for return of post-punk messiahs Pavement for an amazing show of rock royalty that also includes the iconic and experimental sounds of Sonic Youth and heirs to the lo-fi throne No Age.” Damn. Heirs to the lo-fi throne? No Age must be pretty stoked. Seriously, and I say this with love, who the fuck cares about No Age when PAVEMENT AND SONIC YOUTH ARE PLAYING TOGETHER? I sure don’t. Um, count me in. And by “count me in” I actually meant to say “Please buy me tickets so I can go cause I Check out more Pavement and Sonic Youth at the Hollywood Bowl…
 I find it rather fitting that this is basically the only thing you’ll find on any link that has to do with the upcoming Brian Eno Warp release. Anybody have high hopes for this one?
 Last night I discovered that I have three very different and totally awesome versions of The Beatles’ harmonica-pop gem from A Hard Day’s Night – “I Should Have Known Better.” It should go without saying that version 1 is, of course, the original. Version 2 is a great duet, by She & Him, who will be performing at the 2010 Lou Fest on August 29th in St. Louis. M. Ward and Zooey Deschanel alternate vocal lines over a laid-back, galloping beat with Hawaiian-inspired guitar slides. Totally different take on a classic track. My favorite is version 3, by Check out more You should have known better, rude boy!…

 SoKo (born Stéphanie Sokolinski) is a French singer and actress, best known for the track ‘I’ll Kill Her’. In 2007, SoKo achieved a hit single in Denmark with the song after The Black Boy Scouts began to promote it. The song reached number one on Danish radio charts as well as in the Danish iTunes Store. In Australia it placed number nine in the Triple J Hottest 100 of 2007 music poll. The Danish and the Aussies must have WAY better taste in music than we do, because in 2007 the top song out the US iTunes chart Check out more SoKo – Go Ahead and Fuck Yourself (It’s Fine If You Don’t Love Me)…
 So I live in this house that happens to be a pretty hot spot for shows if you live in Macomb, IL (which you probably don’t), and last weekend we had a hip-hop show. Towards the end of the show one of the acts, Vertual Vertigo, announced their participation in what I like to call a new hip-hop “supergroup”. 500 LB GUERILLA is made up of (in my opinion) a few of Chicago’s best real hip-hop artists – Phillip Morris, Awdazcate, Elevation, and Vertual Vertigo. I’ve known the guys from Vertual Vertigo for a hot minute so I Check out more WOWZERS: 500 LB GUERRILLA – PART 1…
 The Rolling Stones are preparing to re-release their 1972 classic album Exile On Main Street. (Properly) Regarded as one of the greatest albums in rock ‘n’ roll history and one of the most defining of the Stones’ catalogue (my personal favorites are Big Hits Vol. 2 & Tattoo You, but EOMS is a very close third), Exile On Main Street will be re-released on May 18th. Fans will be treated to 10 new tracks, including “Plundered My Soul”, “Dancing in the Light”, “Following the River” and “Pass the Wine”, as well as alternate versions of “Soul Survivor” and Check out more The Rolling Stones Prepare To Re-Release Exile On Main Street…
 We like The Dirty Heads cause we think they kinda sound like Eminem if he made white-kid reggae. We also like ‘em cause we like Sublime & Sublime’s new singer Rome, and he did that one track with them that’s like the only good song they play on the radio. Ever. So we’re pretty stoked to be one of the only sites offering a stream of the complete special edition release of the band’s debut, Any Port In A Storm. Dig the tunes below and keep scrolling for a video and upcoming tour dates. DIRTY HEADS SPRING 2010 Check out more Stream The Dirty Heads “Any Port in a Storm” Out Today…
