Atoms for Peace doing Reddit’s Ask Me Anything

February 18th, 2013

Atoms for Peace is just the worst, worst, worst band name. It’s just so earnest. They may as well be called Champions for Clean Water in Third World Nations. The music itself is fine.

Queens Of The Stone Age Recording with Dave Grohl and Nick Oliveri

December 5th, 2012

Queens of the Stone Age has finally (just about) reassembled the group that made Songs for the Deaf, its last truly great record, which is somehow a decade old now. Dave Grohl is back playing drums on the album, and long-banned bassist Nick Oliveri has been allowed to re-enter Josh Homme’s sanctuary to lay down some […]
