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...

The Gallagher brothers have pretty bad tempers, but would they ever send someone a bullet through the mail? (Okay, maybe they might do that to each other, but...)

Thrice are returning with a new record dubbed Major/Minor on Sept. 20. It's described as "entirely different" than their last album, which is a relief because if a band literally released the same record over and over again, that'd be kind of, you know, awkward.
