The Black Keys new album Brothers comes out on May 18th. It’s exactly what you might expect from the Keys and, in my opinion, it further solidifies their reign as the current heavyweight champs of real, head bobbing, lip curling rock. For better or worse, they’re a bit more bluesy than other great modern day [...] Read More…

A friend needed only to play me the first track, “Here To Fall” and I instantly realized the folly of my ways. The combination of heavy rock and strings is irresistibly cool. The song is [...] Read More…
On January 1st, The Knux announced via twitter the release of a new 5 song EP. The Fuck You EP can’t strictly be called hip hop. It’s a blend of many genres and styles which is what gives The Knux they’re distinctive gritty, alternative electro-hop sound. ”Floozy” and “Fuck You” are classic Knux style skateboard [...] Read More…
I can’t wait for the BlakRoc album (The Black Keys hip hop project featuring songs with artists such as Mos Def, Q-Tip, RZA, Raekwon, Ludacris, Jim Jones, Pharoah Monch, and more). I posted a little about the project not too long ago (here) and recently came across the two tracks below. I love the Raekwon track and [...] Read More…
