Streaming Invented

 
Finally, Jimmmy Eat World are streaming their new album. I won't say any more, head to their MySpace to make an opinion for yourself.

Jimmy Eat World will also be appearing on the Late Show with David Letterman this Friday.

Keep Me Conscious

A couple years back, I discovered a little-known band called Cherry S/T who had just released new album A Diary to Burn By. It was a pleasant mix of hard rock and electronica and I gave it a humble amount of spins back in the day. Especially the song "Nightmares in 3D" got stuck in my head.

When listening to the song again today, I payed a visit to their last.fm profile to find whether they're still releasing music. To my surprise, they are. Although under a new name Keep Me Conscious. Last year, they've released Sounds of Rescue EP, which is difinitely worth checking out. Hopefully, they are currently working on new songs for their next album.

"Na Na Na Na Na"

My Chemical Romance are currently finishing new record, possibly scheduled for a November release and you can now see the first trailer. The album's gonna be called Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys and the tracklisting hasn't been revealed yet. However, the song you can hear is clearly the album opener "Na Na Na Na Na" (or something like that). It's weird, addictive and quite awesome.

Releasing new albums once a year? Why not. Especially when they sound like Hurley. The Red Album wasn't a complete disaster, Raditude, on the other hand, was. Anyway, Weezer finally decided to go back to their roots and are about to release a record that pretty much resembles their debut and Pinkerton. And it's arguably the best thing they could've done.

Weezer are streaming the new album in its entirety on their MySpace.

Your thoughts?

Idlewild

I stumbled across the name Idlewild quite a few times in the past. A Scottish band similar to Ash couldn't be bad, I thought, but never truly gave them a shot. Until last week. And what has been heard, cannot be unheard. I don't understand how this band could be escaping my attention for so long.

Their sound cannot be easily described since they've moved from punk rock roots to alternative and indie rock with occational folk influences throughout their prolific career. However, you can clearly hear the inspirations they took from bands like R.E.M., Blur or Fugazi.

They've released one mini-album, six full-length and two compilation albums since formation in 1995. The band rose to wider attention with critically acclaimed sophomore album 100 Broken Windows and continued their success with The Remote Part, Warnings/Promises and Make Another World. Idlewild's latest record Post Electric Blues was released in 2009.
