Panic! At The Disco have released a wicked awesome (hey, we’re from Boston) new song and it’s called “Hallelujah”! “Show praise with your body / Stand up / Sing hallelujah,” sings/demands frontman/preacher Brandon Urie, telling you to say your freakin’ prayers already. And it’s so very good that you might just bow down and worship…

“Break Me Down” is the light, jangly and delicious new single by Paul Smith and The Imitations, Paul Smith being Maxïmo Park’s frontman. “You can break me down / Catch a plane / And I’ll meet you in the middle,” he sings joyously during the hooky chorus. It’s not the deepest song he’s ever sung,…

Once in a while a band comes along that’s so good you wonder how you ever lived without them. I remember feeling that way when I discovered Motley Crue and Guns ‘N’ Roses as a kid, or The Killers and Franz Ferdinand a decade ago. During more recent years, I stopped getting that feeling. I…

Review by Barnaby William Thornton Alt. rockers Argonaut tried to better their brilliant debut. And they succeeded! TV’s intro channels the theme tune to ‘News at Ten’ via The Twilight Zone – an ethereal and ominous appointment for you to tune in and f***ing listen – before the synths quickly switch to a spiky guitar-laden…

“Wildfire” is the second single from Laura Burhenn, aka The Mynabirds, upcoming third album Lovers Know and it’s an infectious little ditty if ever there was one. Often, The Mynabirds music features politically-themed, or otherwise serious, subject matter. But this passionate, uptempo love song shows Burhenn’s lighter side, which I found refreshing.

Now, this is what I call an epic song. And what an amazing one it is, taking the listener on a thought-provoking sonic — and visual — journey. Quite the trip!

We normally don’t make posts about things streaming on other sites, but we’re making an exception here because we really love Donald’s band the Virgins… The following is the official press release about the stream, etc: Donald Cumming is extremely proud to finally unveil the full extent of his debut solo LP Out Calls Only…

Over the course of Florence + The Machine’s third album, How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful, she mentions the Virgin Mary, Persephone, Motown’s Delilah, Jonah and St. Jude, but Catholicism and mythology are very small influences compared to the worst thing in the world, which is what the album is truly about: heartbreak. Rather than…

This is one of my favorite tracks from Muse’s new album, Drones. Much of the album is spent being proggy, trying to be Queen or even David Bowie, but this song reminds me of the Muse I fell in love with nearly a decade ago. It’s just a great hard rock anthem. Get ready to…

Singer/songwriter/guitarist Matt Skiba has been the co-lead vocalist/guitarist of Alkaline Trio for roughly 20 years now and they’re one of the most successful punk rock bands of all-time. You don’t have to like them, but you have to give them that. They’ve put out eight albums and for the most part they have only grown…

Another smash from Muse’s forthcoming album Drones. I think I’ve finally reached the point where I feel like Muse are even better than Radiohead. Muse is constantly re-inventing itself, each album having a whole unique feel and themes. And yet the songs are accessible.
