In his short-lived but extraordinary life, Buddy Holly left behind a body of work so enthralling, his enduring influence is nearly impossible to overstate. The melodic joy and fierce independent streak at the core of his artistry is profoundly felt on Rave On Buddy Holly, a 19-song collection of indelible Holly covers by a rich assemblage of current musical visionaries and creative kindred spirits. Fantasy/Concord will release Rave On Buddy Holly June 28, 2011.

Modest Mouse are to re-issue two of their acclaimed EPs next month. The American band, led by the unique talents of Isaac Brock, will re-release 1997′s ‘The Fruit That Ate Itself‘ and 2001′s ‘Sad Sappy Sucker‘ on November 9th. Both EPs were originally issued through K Records.

Cold War Kids have unveiled details of their forthcoming third studio album, their first since 2008′s ‘Loyalty To Loyalty‘.
