Song of the day: Got Blue Balls - "Devil in Bed"

Got Blue Balls is a band from my country - Slovakia. However, they sound like some british rock band. They make great music with dirty bass and guitars.

So far, they released only one self-entitled LP, but it is great LP. Check out their "Devil in Bed" for which they recently made promo video.

Picture of the day: September 5, 2012

This photo was taken on Saturday at Reading Festival. It captures Enter Shikari's Roughton Reynolds in his typical position during a live show.

I had a chance to check out these guys at this year's Rock for People festival and I gotta say they were awesome. There is so much energy in their live shows and that's what I like.

Enter Shikari also put out an awesome record this year entitled A Flash Flood of Colour. You can check my review of it here.

Watch new music video from Muse

Today, Muse revealed new music video for their current single "Madness", which you can watch the the bottom of the post. "Madness" is also the first single of their very anticipated new record The 2nd Law, which comes out on October 1.

The video was directed by Anthony Mandler who previously directed music videos such as Lana Del Rey's "National Anthem", The Killers' "A Dustland Fairytale", "Tranquilize", and "When You Were Young" and also Muse's "Neutron Star Collision (Love Is Forever)".

However, most of the time he collaborates with artists like Rihanna, Drake, Jay-Z, Usher, or Enrique Iglesias.

Deftones announce new album


In April of this year, I informed you about new album from Deftones. However, there was no official release date, album title or tracklisting revealed in that time. But that all has changed.

The album is called Koi No Yokan and it will be out on November 13 via Reprise Records. The album was recorded in Los Angeles and was produced by Nick Raskulinecz, who also produced band's last effort - 2010′s Diamond Eyes.

Even though, tracklisting is still unknown, band recently debuted two new tracks - "Roller Derby" and "Rosemary".

If you live in the US, you will be happy because Deftones will go on North American tour later this year. Check out all the tour dates below.

Stream new album from The XX

New album from minimalistic indie pop band The XX entitled Coexist isn't out until next week (September 10). However, the band made available to stream the record in its entirety.

And it is actually pretty cool stream because it also features map of the world showing all the people who stream the album and their location.

The album itself is pretty obvious follow-up to their self-titled debut record, which came out in 2009. Thinking that these guys would change their unique style and sound is in my opinion just absurd.

Anyway, stream the record here over their official website or below via embed code.

Tracklisting of Coexist:

01. Angels
02. Chained
03. Fiction
04. Try
05. Reunion
06. Sunset
07. Missing
08. Tides
09. Unfold
10. Swept Away
11. Our Song
