Listen to the new album Gallows with Wade McNeil

There was much uncertainty and many questions about the future of Gallows. And for good reason: without the charismatic Frank Carter on board the ship, all seemed to sense it was going to be less. Luckily the Watford were ready and got to sign Wade McNeil, consolidated Alexisonfire singer who has helped an LP Gallows premiere the powerful sea. It's called "Gallows" (originality alive!) Has been produced, mixed and mastered by Thomas Mitchener and Steve Sears (Spycatcher) and can be heard in streaming from now through the web of NME.

The compact drops like a real scourge hardcoreta that will delight fans of more aggressive rock and wild. Especially addictive we thought the theme that closes the compact ('Cross of Lorraine'), Wade piece that tears with his voice almost every second that compose it. Speaking about the album, the band has been clear: "did the LP so that would define the Gallows today. It is the first of many releases that come from the hand of Venn Records, our label. This is how to laugh in the face of those who were actually just finished when we were warming up. "

And why do not lack for the latter claim. Carter may no longer be with them but Gallows is life so long as it is shown in the vibrant 'Outside Art'.

The Vaccines, more refreshing than ever in 'Aftershave Ocean'

If ye could already read our review on "Come of Age" will know that the latest album from The Vaccines we love it. The British have managed to create a sonic aura that envelops the entire disk, always retaining that refreshing hoot how well defined to Londoners. The LP has many themes that we like but there is one in particular that amuses us specially. It is entitled 'Aftershave Ocean' and shows you the best, and most delicate guitar riffs from the creators of "What Did You Expect From The Vaccines?".

Tomorrow I will post an interview I did in these last days to Pete Robertson of The Vaccines. Among some points to discuss, the battery dropped some details concerning this great subject. "'Ocean Aftershave' was born from a silhouette guitarrera who composed Freddie, and that came from an idea of Justin raised letter on a 'sea of ​​aftershave' and the concept of 'get from the air'. The content is about seeing the world as it is and not mask the bad things with a surface layer of positivity. "

The (well-deserved) break and the next album by Florence + The Machine

We knew this moment was coming, Florence Welch, soul (and thinking mind) of Florence + The Machine has confirmed it will take a break for about 12 months before immersing yourself in the process of creating his third studio album. Talking to Spinner the singer has made clear one thing: the next job has begun to take shape in his head. "I've been thinking a lot about it. In fact I've made ​​a whole album in my head. "

Leaving aside the phenomenon Adele, Florence + The Machine has been the British music boom of the past two years. "Lungs" marked the birth of the creative potential of Florence Welch and "Ceremonials" reaffirmed and consolidated the status of a young artist who has reached the ears of the world thanks to the size singles' What The Water Gave Me ',' Shake It Out 'or' Breath Of Fire '. Talking to the web on their two babies Anglo, Florence has been very emphatic when compared. "I think the first album showed the desperation felt by doing something, grabbing things. 'Ceremonials' is centered on the idea of ​​collecting aspects of my interior, treating an internal search and not by someone who was not me. It was an internal battle that the attack on another person outside. "

We'll be a long time without hearing anything new from Florence + The Machine (or enjoy any of his concerts) but I saw it coming that the physical and mental forces of Florence Welch were depleted. This year "sabbatical" pearl will do the British to return to delight us again with some great piece like 'Never Let Me Go', probably the best song of the second album - "Ceremonials" - that has elevated the charismatic redhead London.

The biggest rock show of the day: Tenacious D live at Zenith

At home in the U.S., the comedy rock band Tenacious D is treated like superstars. There have even Jack Black and Kyle Gass. Their own television shows and play permanently with the most prominent guest musicians, has to offer the rock business In Europe, Europe, however - with the exception of England - they were up to the release of their latest album "Rize Of The Fenix​​" even more of an insider, the most aficionados are primarily hear about movies or video games like Brutal Legend. But the current album has made ​​it to the respectable fifth place in the German album charts and their popularity in this country to push even further, Tenacious D come on tour to Germany in October - including to Munich, where she was on 11/10/2012 Zenith will play.

Already this summer, Tenacious D have sniffed at the Rock am Ring and Rock im Park German stage air. They seem to have gotten a taste, and now hope that their sense of humor despite the regional, linguistic, cultural and historical peculiarities also popular in Germany finds. It is their first tour of Germany and thus a daring experiment. We'll see if the world has enough humor to understand Tenacious D and appreciate. If that should be so, their mission is really nothing in the way, the biggest rock stars on the planet to be.

Sant Feliu Fest 2012 (Sant Feliu, August 18, 2012)

I will borrow an appreciation of our dear Wences New Vulcan to uncover what will be my humble chronicle of Sant Feliu Fest expected after two years of hiatus: "The Sant Feliu Fest is one of the few festivals where bands are more below than above the stage. " And why has our beloved bassist, because on Saturday August 18 in Port Espai enclosure we saw seven bands and greet as many, many more. That more than a scene, it's a great family, a role model. Congratulations again ganxons and friends TZVR members!
The festival actually began on Thursday 16 in the room with the bands Yankees TZVR Chalk Talk and Everyone Everywhere. The following day, Friday, the organization had prepared a curious performance: a wall painting by artist Ed Trask with inspiring background sound of the orchestra of the winning horse. All audiovisual experience, live pure creativity. We were unable to attend, but thanks to the lovely Carolina goal Click,-that has given us all the pictures that accompany this text, we can get an idea.
On Saturday, at 6 pm but still with a blazing sun, jumped the youngest, Please Wait. Young, very young, especially the battery, which could have as much ... 12 years? To find the influences of this promising trio, and this excites me especially, we must go back a few decades ago. They are sucking punk rock, but I bet you do not averse to emocore or post-hardcore. To understand my point just listen to your presentation topic, 'I want you inside of me', which burst with a string of the guitar and had to start over, by the way. With the look timid, and in all humility, but lashing out with their instruments and desgallitándose force, Sant Feliu trio got the audience in his pocket.
Then rose the French Daria, unknown in these parts but very professional, which made it very clear from the first topic that attacked. Formed in 2000, the Angers practice a melodic rock in the style of Foo fighers, Weezer and Jimmy Eat World, but with a touch more metallic. Impeccable together, however highlighted the singer and guitar thrust Camille, real engine of this combo of the neighboring country. They had played before in the peninsula, specifically at the Hard Rock in Barcelona, ​​years ago, as recalled between songs, but I fear that this bolus in Sant Feliu was far more rewarding. At the end of the bolus, sold and signed many vinyls. Good sign.
Goes without saying that The Red Room was arguably the less I wanted to hear. Something does not fit me, I come, perhaps for the indie pop genre with messages say sometimes extremely sugary. They had several excuses to play at a festival like Sant Feliu Fest: many years in the gap outside the fashions and above all, had recorded with Santi Garcia, also at the controls with his brother Victor of the festival soundboard . Jokes aside, that would deceive you play bad and nothing is further from my intention. Sounded better than good, truth, and compact, rather than solvents, and at some point even came close to earning a staging rather more rock than it could wait. Anyway, do not quote me, is my business, because in the faces of the public could see the buenrollismo and happiness, and that in these times is priceless and is admirable. No objection.
From here, noventero revivalism and seized entirely underground festival. Starting a band whose name freaks me: Office of Future Plans. It's so mysterious, so dark and at the same time, so smart. Behind the project, J. Robbins (Jawbox) and friends. One of the highlights of the day, no doubt. The concert was less to more, from electrical nerve passages tremendistas minded pop, especially from the time when Gordon Withers parked his bizarre cello unceremoniously scratch your guitar. Great find these in the office of the future plans. As Kepone, the next to jump on stage and literally washed away everything, as usual, making all that beautiful wall of sound that threw us track after track look easy. Many of those present expected to Virginia with win, looking forward. Above all, the members of the organization, which stuck ourselves to bring up their land, and seized more so programming a bolus visit the next day in the room with Moksha TZVR and Beach Beach that I have, was even more overwhelming. Surprising to the uninitiated, orgasmic for his followers ever.
The sound of the West Coast came with Seaweed, distant cousins ​​and contemporaries Samiam and All. His melodic punk rock with an emotional point fit great on the poster, and while rubbing the quarantine (if not exceed) showed to be very fit. All face to Randy, a guaranteed party. Too bad this time these Swedish punk rockers the party will stick before jumping on stage and touched lightly injured, leaving a half-issue because the bassist had forgotten how to play and stoppages between songs entirely expendable. But with such great songs in your pocket, not even that could fail. People danced, chanted, jumped, enjoyed, as always, as ever. This was the dream finale, a near-perfect closing to finish some burning shoe ended up in the nearby room so Pandora. Now, counting the days for next summer and next Sant Feliu Fest.
