Weezer returns April 1st with another self-titled record or the “White Album” as it is being called. “King of the World” is the newest single from the group and it is totally Weezer with its big chorus and whoa whoas.

Can’t say that anything we heard so far from the White Album is going to top their last record Everything Will Be Alright In The End but we will just wait and see. As always – just enjoy the ride!

Boise, ID-based band Western Daughter have a new video out for “My Room Is a Mess” from their December release As the Sun Went Down. The five-piece have a solid indie post-rock sound that will catch your ear.

The news couldn’t be any sadder this morning to hear that David Bowie had succumbed to a very private 18 month battle with cancer. His impact on the music scene and the catalog he left will be remembered and played by generations to come, which is a refreshing thought as the music world mourns his passing.

Bowie just released his latest album, Blackstar, on Friday and the “Lazarus” video is a new classic. Bowie has always pushed boundaries and today, more so than ever, “Lazarus” is an exclamation mark on his artistry. RIP Thin White Duke – you will be greatly missed but never forgotten. David Bowie 1947-2016.

Here is the video for Cage the Elephant’s first single “Mess Around” from their recently released album Tell Me I’m Pretty. The 10-song record was produced by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys, mixed by Tom Elmhirst (Amy Winehouse, Adele, Florence + the Machine) and recorded at Easy Eye Sound in Nashville, TN, near the band’s home town of Bowling Green, KY. One listen and you can tell as the track has a catchy touch.
