Fucked Up recently performed David Comes To Life's "Queen Of Hearts" with Cults' Madeline Follin at Seattle's Capitol Hill Block Party.

The Drums are back with a sophomore album called Portamento on Sept. 13. Regardless of what it'll sound like, Manic Street Preachers bassist Nicky Wire will probably still say there's "no soul in that band." The third in Radiohead's series of 12-inch vinyl remixes of tunes from this year's The King Of Limbs is out "in two weeks." Yeah, there's no...

Elbow are getting their own beer. It's an ale called Build A Rocket, Boys!, after their most recent album, and it might possibly be the most interesting thing they've ever done. Maybe the only interesting thing about them. Here's hoping Bud Light isn't more potent. English ale isn't known to be watery and wimpy as fuck. Jane's Addiction's long-...

The Dropkick Murphys' Sept. 8 and 9 hometown stadium shows at Boston's Fenway Park both sold out in less than an hour. That's going to be a hell of a lot of drunken "Irish" people in one place.
