Michael Poulsen of Volbeat comments, “In Europe and the U.S., we have enjoyed the experiences that come from being a part of the festival environment, just as the fans do. Looking forward to Carolina Rebellion!

Bush Joined By Gwen Stefani For “Glycerine” Performance

At Bush’s concert last night in Los Angeles, CA, Gavin Rossdale was joined by his wife Gwen Stefani (No Doubt) during their performance of “Glycerine”. The surprise took place at the 23rd annual KROQ Almost Acoustic Christmas at the Gibson Ampitheatre. You can watch fan-filmed footage of the song below.

While it’s not terrible, I just cannot stand Stefani’s constant upward inflections when she sings. It seems like every line has to end with her pitch rising. Also, and I know that this is a REALLY stupid complaint, why the hell is she wearing high heels? Totally out of place in her outfit. READ MORE

Bush, Seether, And My Darkest Day Team Up For Tour: Some Band Called Nickelback Is Headlining

nickelback2011 Bush, Seether, And My Darkest Day Team Up For Tour: Some Band Called Nickelback Is Headlining

Alright, my initial enjoyment of Nickelback‘s When We Stand Together has pretty much completely worn off. No more shame and guilt here (at least not from this situation). But then these Canuck bastards put together a tour with two bands that I genuinely enjoy: Bush and Seether. My Darkest Day? I can probably count the number of their songs I’ve heard on one hand. If the line-up is anything like I imagine (My Darkest Day–>Seether–>Bush–>Nickelback), then I’ll show up late and leave after Bush. Good concert right there!

Tickets will be available in the next few weeks. VIP packages can be purchased here. Check below for the tour dates.

Bush Release Video For ‘The Sound Of Winter’

Raise your hand if you owned Sixteen Stone, the debut album from British alternative rock band Bush. You can’t see it, but my arm is pointed straight at the ceiling. I played the everliving hell out of that album. I’d even go so far as to say that it helped shape my taste in music into what I currently love. Their mix of rock with melancholic beauty really appealed to me and I still love rocking out to Glycerin, Machinehead and Comedown.

Well, today, the reformed band have released a video for The Sound of Winter, which comes off their upcoming album The Sea Of Winter (coming out Sept. 13th). In my opinion, it doesn’t really sound like they’ve gone anywhere. Hearing this song is somehow very comforting as it sounds just like the Bush classics that I grew up with.
Check out the video after the jump and let me know your thoughts!
