Editors - In This Light and On This Evening

In This Light and On This Evening is the third studio album from the British indie band, Editors. Their first two records both went Gold in Ireland and Platinum in the UK, but their second album was the only one to make the US charts…and it never even made the top 100, peaking at 117.

Alex Turner, Jamie Cook, Nick O'Malley & Matt Helders of Arctic Monkeys

Arctic Monkeys - Humbug

The Arctic Monkeys are kind of a big deal. Their first two albums have sold over a million copies each…and that’s only counting the sales in Canada (Gold/Gold), Australia (Platinum/Gold) and the UK (4X Platinum/2X Platinum).

Hannah Blilie, Beth Ditto & Brace Paine of Gossip

Gossip - Music for Men

Music for Men is the first full-length, major-label release from Gossip, an indie rock trio based out of Portland, Oregon. Attention always seems focused on the plus-sized, lesbian frontwoman of the group, Beth Ditto, but Gossip would not exist without the musical talents of guitarist Brace Paine.

Brandon Flowers, Dave Keuning, Mark Stoermer and Ronnie Vannucci Jr. are Killers

The Killers - Day & Age

The Killers are a band from Las Vegas so it’s pretty much mandatory that I should provide a review for their new album, Day & Age…even though I never actually got around to hearing Sam’s Town. I have heard Hot Fuss though and their new sound is a bit different than I remember.

the faint band image

The Faint - Fasciinatiion

Fasciinatiion, the newest album from The Faint, was entirely written, recorded, produced, art directed and released by them on their new label, blank.wav. These guys are making music that doesn’t sound like anything else and they’re doing everything themselves.
