Happy Groundhog Day! It’s already been reported that we’ve got another six weeks of winter. However, if winter stays like it’s been so far, I’m kinda okay with that. But in any case, here’s some Primus for you to celebrate the holiday:

Ah, 1984, the year I was born in. The year that the Apple Macintosh came out. A year that has become synonymous with dystopian society. It was also the year that Van Halen’s iconic album 1984 came out. While the sixth studio album was a departure from their recognized sound, many critics lauded the album and its exciting foray into new territory. It would also be the last album the band recorded with vocalist David Lee Roth (until this years A Different Kind Of Truth). But does this album still have the same punch as it did nearly three decades ago? Or has age worn this beast down? READ MORE

Garbage Releases New Album Details: A Few Tour Dates Announced

Garbage has set Not Your Kind Of People as the title for their upcoming record and a release date has been confirmed for May 15th, 2012. The album will be released via their own record label, STUNVOLUME. On top of this, the band has set a few European and Asian headlining tour dates and some European festival appearances. The band confirms that US tour dates are in the works. Check below for video footage of the band discussing the new album as well as the tour dates.

“Working with Garbage again was very instinctual,” said guitarist/keyboardist Duke Erikson. “Like getting on a bicycle…with three other people. We haven’t felt this good about a Garbage record since the last one!”

“Thinking about going back on the road is both thrilling and terrifying in equal measure,” said vocalist Shirley Manson. “………but we’ve always enjoyed a little pain mixed in with our pleasure.”

Andrew W.K. Announces 10th Anniversary Tour For I Get Wet

Ten years ago, Andrew W.K.‘s I Get Wet was released and suddenly he was everywhere. Seriously, I remember hearing him on the radio, hearing about him performing on late-night talk shows, being on movie soundtracks, etc, etc, etc… But I was kind of proud because the guy and I went to the same high school, albeit the fact that I missed actually going to school with him by two years or something like that. But no matter, it was still kind of awesome.

Now, Andrew W.K. has announced that he will be doing an anniversary tour, where he will be performing the entire I Get Wet album at each show! Check below for tour dates.

[Review] Black Taxi We Dont Know Any Better

I’m all for bands that like to mix genres and have fun. As a matter of fact, I really look forward to hearing these artists, as I’m interested in knowing what rules they like to bend and which ones they decide need to broken entirely. Such is the case with Black Taxi, an indie rock band who must’ve left their hearts in the 80’s. Filled with reggae and funk mixed with infectious danceable moments, We Don’t Know Any Better aims to have you tapping your foot, nodding your head, bouncing your leg…hell, they’d be thrilled to have you get up and dance! But do they pull it off as much as they hope?

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.

Van Halen Release New Single Tattoo: It Kinda Sucks

Van Halen have released Tattoo, the first single from their upcoming album A Different Kind Of Truth, which comes out Feb. 7th. You can check out the official video below. Problem is, the song kinda sucks. No, scratch that. It really sucks. Even if you took out the poorly synced video, the fact that it looks like David Lee Roth keeps forgetting his lines, and the “we’re gonna shoot in black and white for the sake of looking artistic even though NOTHING ARTISTIC IS HAPPENING” look, the song is just plain boring. There is no spice or pizazz. There is no excitement. It’s just a generic rock song that is destined to go in one ear and out the other. Honestly, even though I listened to it just a few minutes ago, I’ve already forgotten the melodies.

Check it out below and, if for some reason you still feel so inclined, you can preorder the album on iTunes.

The official lineup for the 2012 Coachella music festival has been unveiled and I can safely say that I have absolutely no interest in it whatsoever. Let me tell you which bands I’d like to see: Radiohead, At The Drive-In…and I’m done. There are honestly no other acts that would make me even consider heading out.

The festival will happen the weekend of April 13th as well as again on the weekend of April 20th. Tickets will go on sale this Friday at 10am PST on the official site (which is currently down due to a massive surge of Internet-goers). The minimum option is a three-day pass for $285 while the VIP treatment will set you back $665. For those of you who travel, the smartest option is the general pass that includes a hotel shuttle, which goes for $335. All of these prices are before convenience charges set in, so expect to tack on another eight bazillion dollars for that (I’m joking…but only a little bit. Am I right???).

Maybe it’s because music festivals have never been my thing, but I just cannot fathom the idea of standing in a sweaty, muddy, nasty, smelly crowd for three days while being aurally blasted by band after band. Wow…did I just make that sound like some perverted Japanese porno or what?

Check out the full lineup below.

mike patton 04192010 Mike Patton Scoring The Place Beyond The Pines

Mike Patton, the enigmatic frontman behind Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Tomahawk, and more, has been tapped by writer/director Derek Cianfrance to score the upcoming crime thriller/drama The Place Beyond The Pines.

Starring Ryan Gosling, Bradley Cooper, Rose Byrne, Eva Mendes, Ray Liotta, and more, the story revolves around a motorcycle stunt rider (Gosling) who considers committing a crime in order to provide for his newborn child, an act that puts him on a collision course with a cop-turned-politician (Cooper). The film apparently has a release date of Sept. 26th, 2012 in France, but only an ambiguous 2012 release date for the US.

Patton scored Crank 2: High Voltage and The Solitude Of Prime Numbers as well as providing voicework for The Darkness and Left 4 Dead.

Patton is also hard at work on another Tomahawk record, which has a tentative release date for late summer.
