TV on the Radio releases webisode, preps for tour
Brooklyn's TV on the Radio seems to have taken advice from another New York-based group and stopped giving a frak about commas—Oxford, epistolary or otherwise. But now that Dear Science (formerly Dear Science,) has hit record stores and both an almost-regular-but-still-bonus and a fully-bonus edition of the album are available on the iTunes store, it's time for the band to move on to other pastures.... read more

After its first day spotlighted depth, Day Two at Monolith was a chance for the big dogs of the line-up to roam free. Sure, there was some sterling Ben Foldsian pop from Washington D.C.’s Jukebox The Ghost to start the afternoon, a bit of smoky folk rock from former Paste Band of the Week The Rosewood Thieves, and a spirited fireball of a set from Tokyo Police Club. But the day belonged to a succession of four artists who dominated the Monolith main stage in four different ways...... read more

Found in: Movies, NewsTV on the Radio adds fall dates
It's lucky that we thought to inject sensors and fiber-optics into the soles of TV on the Radio's shoes so that we could follow and report their every move. Otherwise, we would have had a harder time knowing about new tour dates from the New York-based art rock troupe. Sure, we might be violating their civil rights, but now you know that the band will be traveling through the following cities to support their new album, Dear Science,, coming out September 23:... read more
Found in: Music, NewsTV on the Radio unveils next LP: Dear Science,
How exactly would you watch TV on the radio? Years from now, when they're wading through postapocalyptic ruins, future scientists will marvel at the forerunners that could beam visual images through an audio signal—a technology so revered that they named an awesome experimental rock act after it out of sheer reverence. Maybe, just maybe, the band with that scientifically improbable moniker will answer that question with its next LP, Dear Science, (comma included). TV on the Radio will be releasing this bad boy courtesy of Interscope Records in the U.S. on Sept. 23, and 4AD will handle distribution on Sept.... read more
