So What if they Sound like Joy Division?

So What if they Sound like Joy Division?

Interpol Our Love to Admire Capitol Records released: July 10, 2007 On Our Love to Admire, their major label debut on Capitol, Interpol still sound like Joy Division and they are not apologizing for it regardless of how often they are knocked for it.

Interpol is as... more ›

Arcade Fire Cancels Rest of European Tour

No offense to the local boys, but we are far more excited to check out the Arcade Fire on Saturday night of Coachella than the Chili Peppers. Which is why we're crossing our fingers that Win Butler, the lead singer and genius behind the Arcade Fire will have successful sinus surgery. Butler announced yesterday on the band's website that for three months he's been suffering from a sinus and bronchial infection and canceling the rest of their Euro tour and getting surgery has become a must. more ›

Her album Alright, Still dropped domestically one week prior, and had already taken the #20 spot on the Billboard 200, selling over... more ›
