Frontman starts new band |
Reader Submission reports: In the January
issue of Penthouse, DJ Danger Mouse lets the cat out of the bag that Blur
frontman Damon Albarn is working on a new record with a new band, "I'm
working on another record with Damon Albarn from Gorillaz. It's not Gorillaz
or Blur...it's something different, but it's really good. It's not a solo
record either. He's the lead singer...but I can't really say. Hopefully
we'll finish it this year and it'll be out next year." -

Revenge |
MSO reports: Kansas City foursome the ARCHITECTS
have designed a scorching, vitriolic rock & roll album steeped in the
art of getting even. The acclaimed group that Alternative Press hailed
as powerful Midwestern rock n soul the way it was meant to be played
(5/05) will unveil their new offering REVENGE February 21 on Anodyne Records.
The ARCHITECTS--whove built a reputation for fiery live performances--will
perform a slew of hometown shows and a special Los Angeles appearance on
January 16 at the Viper Room, with a full winter tour to be announced soon.
On REVENGE, the ARCHITECTS have drafted
a boozy, bluesy and--above all else--heartfelt album, where punk fury and
whiskey-drunk prowess meet and exchange dirty looks. Cops, politicians,
ex-lovers and even dewey-eyed, nostalgic Gadjits [the founding members
former band] fans all get thirty lashes on REVENGE, the follow-up to the
groups critically commended 2004 debut Keys To The Building (Anodyne Records).

Animal |
Chipster reports: WET ANIMAL was founded in
1995 by guitarist Rick Wartell of seminal metal act Trouble. A veteran
of the hard music world since Troubles inception in 1977, Wartell is a
man who knows what hes doing, with the singular goal of making solid hard
rock music, and he has succeeded with Wet Animal. The three-piece also
consists of West Virginian singer/guitarist Shane Pasqualla, drummer Jeff
Oly Olson, and bassist Michael Vito Diprima.
They recently released their exceedingly
strong self-titled Wet Animal CD with 10 tracks in a compact and musically
succinct 46:46. One definite highlight is Soul Alone, with the heavy
grooves of Trouble updated Wet Animal-style, a great hook, soulful rock
vocals, and a big big chorus, This is what I imagined when we first formed
Wet Animal, Wartell explains. He produced the effort between two studios
in hometown Chicago and Massachusetts.[see full story for more]-
