Quick News

Kings of Leon were forced to cancel two weeks worth of concerts after a bus accident sent drummer Nathan Followill to the hospital and sidelined him with broken ribs. The band, who are set to appear on The Tonight Show on Tuesday, will be joined by Questlove of The Roots on drums.

Are Incubus working on new music? It seems to be the case after guitarist Mike Eizinger posted a series of pictures of the band in the studio on Instagram. No official word has been made, but will keep you posted on future news.

Pussy Riot are set to appear on the upcoming season of House of Cards. No word as to what the role the band will play in the forthcoming season.

Speaking to Exclaim, Against Me!'s Laura Jane Grace said the band are planning a live album, documentary and book, saying, "It's crazy, because at this point, having six studio albums and a bunch of EPs, there are almost a good hundred Against Me! songs. To have the lineup we have right now and to feel really strong about the way we're playing and to see how those songs that we've been playing for a long time have evolved over however many years... The idea of taking the best of the best and putting together a solid 25- to 30-song record that can reintroduce some songs in their present form and really try to capture what happens when we're onstage, which is vastly different from what happens in a studio, I just think it's a cool document and worthwhile to do."

 She & Him will release their new album, Classics, this fall. In a press release, Zooey Dechanel said, "We are incredibly excited to release a record of our favorite songs. It was a dream of ours to record these songs in a way that highlighted the brilliance of the songwriting and the beauty of their melodies. We had a wonderful time making the record and we hope people have a wonderful time listening to it."
