If you like artsy, experimental pop then today’s #songoftheday should put a huge smile on your face. It delivers more sounds than one could possibly count, layers and layers of them, and it also shifts directions when you least expect it. A real artistic statement, not something even remotely aimed at the radio. All in…

He first shot to fame in 1989 when he replaced Udo Dirkschneider as the lead singer of another German metal band, Accept. He was only with Accept for one album,…

Have I mentioned how happy I am that Kerli is making electro-pop again? Her dance music was great, sure, but her lyrics and voice fit electronic soundscapes better than club beats. At least that’s my opinion.

This is the first Ace Frehley and Paul Stanley collaboration in years. In over a decade, I believe. In any case, they still sound great together. More importantly, Ace can still fucking shred. His long solo here is fantastic. It’s no wonder there’s lots of smoke — the legend is on fire!

There are albums that are difficult to wrap your head around and there are albums that are impossible to wrap your head around. I thought the album Triangle by Switzerland’s Schammasch was going to be the latter after reading the press release, which points out that it’s 100 minutes long, a triple album in three…

RAC has been one of my favorite remixers for ages now. His versions of Lana Del Rey’s “Blue Jeans” and Katy Perry’s “This is How We Do” are easily as good as the originals. His version of Foster The People’s “Houdini” is better than the original. I could go on and on. Well, now we…

Like many Silverchair fans, I still haven’t gotten used to the fact that frontman Daniel Johns put out an R&B/neo-soul album (last year’s Talk). That said, he lends his vocals to Slumberjack’s latest, “Open Fire,” and it’s a contagious ball of wonderful, which also happens to be in the R&B/neo-soul vein, albeit with some dubstep…

Amazing, amazing, amazing. Yes, Garbage’s new single, “Empty,” is so amazing that it deserves it being said three times. Well, OK, I’ve just used it four times. Do I need to say it again? Seriously though, Garbage’s pop sensibilities remain in tact as do their massive guitar hooks and Shirley Manson’s ever intoxicating voice. The…
