Danko Jones seems to be a Canadian staple despite the fact that his band has yet to see mainstream ‘success’ in North America during the group’s long and colorful career. That being said, Danko Jones has made his band’s lack of mainstream acknowledgment work for them by touring relentlessly in Europe and pressing on regardless

DevilDriver dropped their new album Beast last week, and we’ve got copies to give away if you haven’t grabbed yours (though hopefully by now you’ve at least given the damn thing a listen, because it rips pretty hard). To sweeten the deal, we’ve got DevilDriver posters to give away with them too. We’d have a

‘Satellite’ is the fuzzed out, reggae tinged first single off the Kills’ upcoming Blood Pressures, due out in early April. There’s a dystopian edge to the track, and now there’s a video to match.

A new track called “Syllables” made its way onto the net yesterday which features an impressive cast including Eminem, Dr. Dre, Jay-Z, 50 Cent, Stat Quo and Ca$his. There has been no word as to when it will be released or on what album this track will be included on, however odds are it’s from

Picking the “best” albums of any year is a duplicitous venture at best; a struggle to pare down—hopefully not laboriously round out—the list into something comprehensible/agreeable. Inevitably however, someone gets forgotten or shuffled out of a deserved place, people disagree and we’re left wondering how we could have possibly chosen only 10 children, leaving the
