Former Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr has announced his intention to release a new album with The Healers next year, after recently confirming his departure from The Cribs in order to concentrate on other projects.

Mindless Self Indulgence (often identified using the abbreviation MSI) is a New York alt – punk rock group fronted by Jimmy Urine. Due to the style of their music lacking a definite genre, they coined the term ‘Industrial Jungle Pussy Punk’ to describe their music, but later, they denounced the term. The group maintains a devout fanbase, and has opened for many well-known acts such as Linkin Park, System of a Down, Korn, Sum 41, Insane Clown Posse and Rammstein. Photos © Live4ever Media

Bon Iver have released details of a UK tour scheduled to begin in October, as they gear up for the release of their self-titled second album next month.

It’s difficult to describe psychedelic rock without also discussing psychedelic drugs. Most psych-heavy bands will tell you that the music is what’s most important, and that the subsequent effects of inhaling or ingesting certain substances merely provide a boost to the listening experience. That may be true, but it’s pretty clear that both fans and artists of this particular genre benefit a little more than others from the consuming of said substances.

The Killers will each perform short solo pieces during their scheduled headline appearance at this summer’s Hard Rock Calling event, reports the Daily Star newspaper.

New York electro-noise-rockers FIGO will release their debut full-length album ‘Put It All On Black‘ online this August, and you can download the first single, ‘FADED‘ for free off the band’s Soundcloud page here.
