Stream The Offspring's new record


The Offspring's new album entitled Days Go By is officially out next week (June 26). However, now you can stream it in its entirety here. It is their ninth studio album and it took them three years to make it.

I like these californian punkrockers and I hope this record will be good. Of course, at this point of their career it is impossible for them to make new record as successful and good as Americana, but they can at least keep up their good standard.

I haven't check the record yet, but I will do so pretty soon and I plan to review it.

Pendulum call it quits


The Australian electro rockers Pendulum have announced that they have split up. Band's frontman Rob Swire tweeted via his official Twitter account following:

"There will be no further Pendulum live shows. There are no current plans for a new album in 2013."

He has decided to focus on his current project Knife Party only. He said in a recent interview with Australian radio station Triple J:

"The Knife Party thing is going so well we don't really feel like going back to junior school anytime soon. "We're having too much fun with this project. It's also great because Pendulum towards the end sort of felt like we were doing it because we had to and that's never a fun way to do music. Whereas Knife Party is pretty much solely us doing what we want to and if no one likes it we don't care."

Well, it really looks like they are really over. The band released three studio album during their 10-year existence and each year played the biggest festivals during the summer. Last year they played 30 shows during the summer. I even got to see them last year at Rock for People. Even though they are not really my cup of coffee, the show was pretty great.

Even though the band is over, Pendulum will continue as a DJ project of Paul "El Hornet" Harding and Ben "The Verse" Mount. However, DJ set and Live band are incomparable.

Song of the day: Alabama Shakes - "Hold On"

I found out about Alabama Shakes just recently (2 months ago) and I fell in love with them. Their debut album Boys & Girls is really awesome and I definitely suggest you to check them out.

Roughly a week ago, she also revealed new music video for her first single of the record "Every Single Night". You can listen to the song and watch the music video down below. Song is very nice and music video as weird as Fiona herself.

Awesome John Butler during some recording of guitar. This picture suggests that we can expect new album from John Butler Trio anytime soon.

Song of the day: Alkaline Trio - "Hell Yes"

Another performance from GuitarCenter. This time it is Alkaline Trio with one of their older hits - "Hell Yes". It is pretty good acoustic version of the song.
