Chevelle unleashed their first new music in four years with the single "Rabbit Hole (Cowards, Pt. 1)." It's a gnarly, riffy rager with more hooks than a tackle box and alternately snarling and melodic vocals. Push and pull tension define the song, which leads to thrilling, dissonant breakdown at the end of the song. Put simply, it was worth the wait.

Today, the band, fresh off an appearance at Coachella, shares the official video, which is rife with the same tension as the song. The black and white footage is stark yet startling, and is unlike anything the band has done in the past. (continue)

Billy Morrison has just released the lyric video for "We Are The Dead," a standout track from his deluxe edition solo album, The Morrison Project. The album was released through TLG|ZOID / Virgin Music Group.

Morrison commented, "This album was a particularly cathartic one for me and I wanted to find a way to write a love song in a less than traditional way. My life changed in the last few years for the better and I wrote these lyrics in one session like a stream of consciousness - the concept of a love that is so strong, it transcends our human existence appealed to me greatly. I started imagining being dead and being with the person I love for eternity and that seemed to illustrate the strength I was feeling." (continue)

The Messenger Birds are previewing their forthcoming "GRAMMY AWARD WINNING ALBUM IT'S ALL A BLUR" EP with the single "FAKE LIVES", and to celebrate we asked guitarist/vocalist Parker Bengry to tell us about the song. Here is the story:

When I start writing lyrics, I usually hear it or feel it in a certain meter in my head. I also tend to think in folk song by default. I remember the first lines I wrote for what became "FAKE LIVES" were in kind of a triplet, ¾ rhythm over what I imagined to be a soft acoustic guitar - "Saccharine sad sack state of mind / I take on too much every time / What's mine is yours, what's yours ain't mine..." - that stanza, and a couple other placeholder lines, sat untouched for a while and just lived in my memory as a sad, unfinished indie-folk song, until it wasn't.
