iPUNKed

iPUNKed is a brand new series, which is made by czech punk website called ipunk.cz. So far, there are three parts of the series.

iPUNKed is usually 30-minute long video (posted on YouTube), which features one popular punk band and one upcoming smaller band. First part featured american pop punk band Set Your Goals, second part featured canadian SUM 41 and third featured Yellowcard.

Interviewer asks the band usual questions about band members, plans and near past or future. However, iPUNKed is special because interviewer also asks the band questions about current music news. It is really entertaining to watch what famous bands have to say about other bands.

I will post here on my blog every new part of iPUNKed because I feel like these videos should be seen by more people.

Check all three parts here:

Picture of the day: August 31, 2012

I think that this picture is really great. It features two female artists - Paramore's Hayley Williams and The Subways' Charlotte Cooper. Photo was taken at Reading Festival 2012.

Song of the day: Reignwolf - "Bycicle"

This guy is just incredible. He by himself is able to create such great sounds that some 4-piece bands don't sound as good as Reignwolf. He is very talented and his ability to play on drums and guitar at the same time while singing is very unusual. I think that we will hear about this artist more in the future because his skills can't be neglected.

Song of the day: Lostprophets - "Last Train Home"

Lostprophets performed their classic track "Last Train Home" acoustically at this year's Warped Tour. Track comes from their sophomore album Start Something, which was band's breakthrough album. I think that this version is really great.

Song of the day: John Butler - "Kimberley"

I know that I've been writing about John Butler quite a lot lately. However, I feel like you should know about this great man and his work.

He publicly supports activists at Kimberley who try to preserve the nature and animals in this area. He performed this track dedicated to Kimberley in front of the crew of the Steve Irwin.

Angry Birds Green Day

Well, this is really interesting. Green Day probably want to make as much hype as possible before their trilogy release, and they obviously don't care how they do it.

They decided to team up with Rovio company, creators of very popular smartphone, tablet and Facebook game Angry Birds. New edition of this game called Angry Birds Green Day is available now to play on Facebook as part of Angry Birds Friends game.

In the background you can hear Green Day's song "Oh Love" and also brand new track called "Troublemaker":

Song of the day: Jack White - "Hotel Yorba"

Jack White was one of the headliners of Outside Lands festival, which took place on August 10-12 in San Francisco, CA. Artists like Foo Fighters, Stevie Wonder, Neil Young, Metallica or Sigur Ros also headlined the venue.

Jack White not only performed regular gig at Lands End (Polo Field) stage, but also played a surprise set in the woods with his all-female band. It was pretty cool of him.

Watch performance of White Stripes classic song "Hotel Yorba" below.

This guitar was smashed by Kurt Cobain during one of Nirvana shows....

Song of the day: My Morning Jacket - "Outta My System"

This is the newest music video from My Morning Jacket. It is pretty cool animated trippy music video. Track "Outta My System" comes from their latest sixth studio album Circuital, which came out last year in May. Check it out below.
