Feist has posted up a preview track from her upcoming album Metals on Soundcloud.
‘How Come You Never Go There’ is a relaxing track in a lemonade-at-the-lawn-on-a-summers-day kinda way that is a definitely signature Feist. We’re all eagerly anticipating the album release on October 3rd!
It was 20 years ago when the trio of Kurt Cobain, Kris Novoselic and Dave Grohl released what would become one of the best albums of all time, Nirvana’s Nevermind became the soundtrack for GenX-ers throughout the world. ’Screw the world, let’s rock!’ was my personal motto after i heard ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ in 91- so I formed a band, and refused to eat my greens.
September marks the 20th anniversary of Nevermind, and Universal Music has announced a full-spectrum release that includes a Super Deluxe box set comprising of 4 CDs + 1 DVD with four videos and a book with previously unreleased photos and documents. Other releases include a 4LP 180 gram vinyl set, and Blu-Ray and DVD versions of their Paramount concert.
These goodies will be unleashed worldwide on 26 September. Sell your kidneys and grab em!
After the successful ‘Crave You’, Flight Facilities has released a follow-up single curiously titled ‘Foreign Language’.
With wonderful vocals from singer Jess Higgs, ‘Foreign Language’ is out now on iTunes, and remixes will be announced in a few weeks time.
Check out the fun roller-disco themed video!
Sorry if we are late to the show but this band is probably the best breakout band for 2011. A bold call, especially when there are still 6 more months to the new year? I think not. So what can we expect from the Vaccines?
Add a pinch of Interpol/Editors, throw in a tablespoonful of the Ramones, blend in some JAMC-isque vocals, and you will get the perfect Poptart vaccine for a bad week at work. Seems like this London-based quartet has managed to retrieve the best elements from our favourite rock bands and formulate this uniquely-but-yet-familiar sound of theirs.
What did you expect from the Vaccines is short, fast-paced and direct. Clocking in only at a total of 33 minutes or so, this 11-track album is reminscent of those punk records with 1 to 2-minute long songs. The band jumps straight in with Wreckin’ Bar (Ra Ra Ra), and wastes no time in signalling their intent in one minute and twenty-four seconds. And before you can say “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious”, it is then followed up with my favourite track of the album, If You Wanna. An extremely infectious, quick-paced song that has been looping on my itunes for the last few days now:
“But if you wanna come back it’s alright, it’s alright!
It’s alright if you wanna come back!
If you wanna come back it’s alright, it’s alright!
It’s alright if you wanna come back to me!”
This album is also laden with useful advice; another favourite, Post Break-up Sex, tells us that post break-up sex helps you “forget your ex” and to “leave it ’til the guilt consumes”. Great!
Perfect for: A home-made poptart party.

Having formed in 2003, the cross-continent duo, Alison Mosshart and James Hince are back with their 4th studio album, Blood Pressures. IMHO, the band only hit the “mainstream” gold with Midnight Boom – a couple of songs found their way into commercials, movies and teen American T.V. shows such as Gossip Girl and 90210. ’Cheap and Cheerful‘, ‘U.R.A. Fever‘ and ‘Tape Song‘ were the outstanding ones.
Their sound is best described as minimalist garage rock revival or art rock, and with The White Stripes now retired, the Kills are left to fly the flag, probably alongside B.R.M.C. and Y.Y.Y’s .
We hope that you do not expect Blood Pressures to have that immediate punchy effect as Midnight Boom – it does not. Apart from ‘Satellite’ and ‘Heart is a Beating Drum’, most of the other songs are a tad bit slower, grungier and bluesier. Not to discount Blood Pressures, the album has it merits, of course. The songs on Blood Pressures are definitely more intimate, and closer to their hearts. I mean, what’s the point of making an album that sounds like the last 3? Not unless you’re the teenage fanclub. LOL.
Jokes aside, take a look at ‘The Last Goodbye’ – a piano driven track, accompanied by Mosshart’s earnest vocals and a string section. This is the stand-out song of the album, most definitely un-Kills-like, but absolutely brilliant and heart-wrenching.
“Can’t quite see the end
How can I rely on my heart if I break it with my own two hands?
I heard all you said and I love you to death
I heard all you said don’t say anything”
If this isn’t close to the heart, I don’t know what is.
We like Future Starts Slow, Pots and Pans, Heart is a Beating Drum, Nail in my Coffin.
