Vandals drummer Josh Freese's new album: $7-$75,000!
Few people can claim punk, rock-star and metal cred, but drummer Josh Freese is a unique breed. Although a permanent member of punk-prodigy group The Vandals since 1989, new-wave band Devo since '95 and Maynard James Keenan's A Perfect Circle since the beginning, Freese's work has also appeared in many other places. To name a few: Guns N' Roses, The Replacements, Sting, Nine Inch Nails, Ween, The Offspring and so on.... read more

Trent Reznor has decided it's about time for Nine Inch Nails to take a possibly permanent hiatus from music. It's understandable: the band has traveled the globe, sold millions of records and inspired leagues of introverted teenagers to embrace their dark side, consequently worrying parents everywhere.

Above: Bang CamaroAnother Lollapalooza weekend has come and gone and music fans of all stripes left happy (unless, of course, they were fans of the Weakerthans, who had to cancel as a result of travel problems).

Other rising stars followed suit on days two and three with the Ting Tings belting out their infectious pop tunes (we overheard Love and Rockets'... read more

If 2006's Cryptograms helped rocket Atlanta ambient-rock royalty Deerhunter to national attention, 2007's Fluorescent Grey EP embedded some diamonds into the band's throne. And while what's next in the sovereign progression is not entirely clear (annexing local acts for natural resources? monarchical oppression of fan-constituents?), we know this much: on Oct. 28, the band will release its newest LP, Microcastle, on Kranky and 4AD.... read more
