It was recently rumoured that Weezer were planning to launch a tour on which they would play their 1996 Pinkerton album in entirety. Guitarist Brian Bell hinted that such a jaunt was possible, which is exciting since frontman Rivers Cuomo infamously has refused to play the disc's songs live for years. Recently, Cuomo said the...

By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) July 29, 2010 9:40 am
Yesterday, Kanye West revealed that his new album will not be titled Good Ass Job when it hits stores this September. I'm sure the majority of us shared a collective sigh of relief, since that's got to be one of the worst titles (working or actual) in recent memory.Given that Kanye has jumped on the social media bandwagon, and spent...

Daily Poll: Coldplay Or U2?

Coldplay and U2 are probably the world's two biggest bands. They have plenty in common, like their anthemic songs, chiming guitars, flamboyant and outspoken frontmen and the capacity to sell out tours in a matter of minutes.Some say Coldplay are just trying to be U2, though, and others say U2 aren't at the level of greatness they were in...

Daily Poll: Who's Got The Better Beard - Matisyahu Or C'mon's Ian Blurton?

in
By CHARTattack Staff July 23, 2010 12:00 am
Beards kind of come with the territory in rock 'n' roll: if you spend a lot of time on the road, you might not have that many chances to shave, since a rock star's life usually involves gigging at night, getting home or to their hotel or bus really late, getting up late the next day and travelling to their next show, only to do it all...

Daily Poll: Slipknot Vs. Gwar

By CHARTattack Staff July 21, 2010 12:00 am
Masks (or at least covering one's face with makeup) are nothing new in rock 'n' roll. Even before the likes of Gwar and Slipknot started donning ridiculous costumes and custom-designing their own masks to look extra scary, bands like KISS were covering up their faces with makeup, even though they were doing it to be really, really glam...

By CHARTattack Staff (CHARTattack) July 19, 2010 4:21 pm
The Polaris Music Prize isn't a fan-voted award, and it's also not a popularity contest. It's what happens when about 200 jurors (or 11 in one room on one night, if you want to only count the gala) attempt to determine what's artistically the best Canadian album released during a particular year.People have strong opinions about...
