\Promising local band Evacuation is Optional, seeks drummer, bassist, guitarist, keyboardist, singer, equipment, rehearsal space, songs. Influences open to suggestion. Must not own poncho, facial piercings in excess of five or nipple rings. No experience preferred.""
Angels and Airwaves' attitude shines through every crack of who they are. From the lyrics the whole wide world is mine,"" to the liner notes where front man Tom DeLonge states, ""we are the best band in the last 18 months,"" to the songs off of their previous album being used in the background of the new album's closer, their confidence that they can pull off anything in the studio comes through relentlessly in their epic sound.
One, two. One, two. One, two, three, four! Winding guitar, quasi-meaningful vocals (it's probably the accent), root note on the bass, root note. Drum break!!! Two, three, four. Repeat, this time with tambourine! It's rock by numbers for the Libertines' Pete Doherty and the rest of Babyshambles with their 2007 release _Shotter's Nation.
UW-Madison will be rocking out at the third annual Madison Pop Festival Nov. 8-10.
Forever"" is a relative term. Proponents of the ""closed universe"" theory of physical cosmology will tell you that, eventually, there could actually be an end to time itself. But whether there will ever be an end to the post-punk revival, which seems to be losing no steam nearly a decade after it began, almost seems less likely.
Lately I've heard increasing talk of a crazy doomsday theory: that the cavernous stockyard of pop music is drying up. Several music blogs, as well as a slightly more notable discussion on NPR's All Things Considered,"" have presented a very interesting question about whether there exists a limit to how many different melodies and structure schemes can theoretically exist or be conjured up by songwriters. Some folks think that we are rapidly approaching a point of no return, in which every possible melody and respective chord progression will have been used up and spit out by the big old hit factory.
motioncity: Motion City Soundtrack's third release stays true to their fast-paced punk roots.
It's been a while since the Midwest has produced a band with the chops and mainstream appeal to take hold of the national scene, but with their unexpectedly successful sophomore release Commit This to Memory, Minneapolis natives Motion City Soundtrack proved they just might have what it takes.
Living on the UW-Madison campus is often reminiscent of living in a bubble - albeit a wonderful bubble where most people share the same progressive ideas.
The Coolest Location
For an artist's songs to be covered by another artist is typically a badge of honor, a sign that they've written something worth the attention of others. If the cover is better it can breathe new life into the track, and if the artist is more renowned it means more fame for the original artist. So what does it mean when the covers are inferior to the original or the artist is already famous enough that a cover gives them nothing new?
When the Arctic Monkeys debuted with Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, the music press in their native United Kingdom left them little room to improve, championing the band as the best of the decade and instantaneously placing the album among the nation's all-time top ten.

The Fratellis have conquered the UK with their old school punk style. Now, after being named one of ""Rolling Stone's"" 10 Artists to Watch, they are ready to impress the US with their debut, Costello Music. The album is named for the rehearsal space they used and is an upbeat but intense creation that begs to be sung along to. The music is instantly addictive and the quirky lyrics are a perfect compliment to their boisterous playing.
Clutch are as unclassifiable as they come. Are they metal? Hardcore? Punk? Listening to only one of their albums will likely give the wrong impression.
If you view the Stooges' new album, The Weirdness, as the successor to 1973's Raw Power—generally regarded as one of the most important hard rock albums ever—it is a failure and a disappointment. Until they disbanded in 1974, the Stooges were one of the most original, inspired and hard rocking bands of the time, and are often cited as the first true punk band. Each one of their three albums is considered a classic, regularly making it onto ""Best...EVER!"" lists of all kinds.
Metal fans rejoice! The new wave of American heavy metal is in full effect, and at the helm are Lamb of God. They are coming off of the hugely successful 2006 release of ""Sacrament"" into an equally successful multinational tour with metal giants Machine Head, Trivium and critically-acclaimed French metalmeisters Gojira. John Campbell plays bass for Lamb of God, and somehow still has his sense of hearing. The Daily Cardinal caught up with a geographically disoriented Campbell in a phone interview between shows.
Gothenburg, Sweden is the birthplace of one of the most groundbreaking forms of modern heavy metal music. The melodic death metal movement originated there with bands like At The Gates, In Flames and Dark Tranquility. Curious then, is the emergence of Gothenburg's Laethora, a band with such lack of melody, they could only be termed death/grind metal.
My father called me last night, outraged. ""Can you believe this? They're selling pre-loaded iPods. Pre-loaded!""
