These articles brought forth are for a few different reasons:
1. It is relevant music information that pertains to you as a reader, no matter the level of intent or the genre.
2. They are relevant to the music I would be currently listening to or a genre I have put some attention and focus on.
3. I am somewhat patriotic about my Canadian music, so that always comes as a first for me. I enjoy music from all parts of the world respectively, but I still have to promote local if I can. Canadian music rocks!
4. Because it's humourous and we can ALWAYS use a good laugh. Rarely will it be at someone's expense...but then again I am just the guy talking about it. They're the ones causing the comments.
So in closing, I trust you all will not read EVERY single article posted here. But I hope you find something of use here and keep the conversation going by forwarding it onto someone else. Click on each article heading for redirection to the full article. Cheers!
Paul McCartney Teams Up with Producer Ethan Johns for Solo Sessions, Preps Album for Fall Release:
"It was revelatory for me, recording Paul in that space having listened to the sound of those Beatles records.
He plugged in his bass, I put a microphone in front of it, walked upstairs into the control room, pushed the fader up, and [that sound] came out of the speakers immediately. I didn't have to do anything! It was a pretty major light bulb for me. People get so fixated on the equipment and the gear, and those things are important — but ultimately, the bass sound on Revolver is Paul. Paul could be playing anything and he will get that sound." -Ethan Johns
Foo Fighters Rehearsing for New Album, Says Guitarist:
"We actually just started making a new Foo Fighters record within the last few weeks. I knew we weren't done, but I just thought it'd be a little longer. But whatever – it's good. It's good getting back to work."
"It was a very short hiatus. We're going to start recording the new Foo Fighter record at the beginning of next year. I'll see if I can slip [a banjo] one in on the next album when no one's looking. Dave will go, 'Who put that fucking banjo on there?'" -Chris Shiflett

Taking Back Sunday Sign to Hopeless for New LP:

Darkest Hour Complete Pre-Production For New Album:
“To say that writing with Travis has been a metamorphosis is an understatement. His playing style and influence has soaked itself into the soul of the band. His perspective has brought new life into both our writing process and way of thinking. Taylor has fresh ears and new eyes on both production and the way people hear music.
We’ve recorded with some amazing producers (Brian Mcternan, Fredrick Nordstrom, Devin Townsend, Peter Witchers) who all in one way or another brought their own spin to the band’s sound. However, with these new demos we hear the potential for a new sonic overhaul and can’t wait to dig in and track these final takes.” -John Henry

War From A Harlots Mouth To Go On Indefinite Hiatus, Say The Scene Has Become “An Abortion Of Mainstream Accessibility”:
“Today we are writing to all of you with some bad news. You might have heard the rumors or read some press releases and they are right, but only to an extend: WFAHM is going into an INDEFINITE HIATUS at the end of the year.
There are a lot of reasons for us to make that move and believe me when I say that it’s not an easy decision. But it feels like it’s something we just have to do at this point. The last 7,5 years have been awesome for the most part and we’re grateful for all the experiences and new friends we have made while travelling the world to show people what we’re all about. We have toured places we never thought we’d get to see, such as Australia, Russia, almost the entire USA and all across Europe of course. We have made friends for life on the road. We have grown immensely as musicians and turned this band into something we are very proud of.
Being in this band has been a great experience for each and everyone of us and it took us to places and opened up doors we couldn’t even dream of. Being that the band started as a side project, we always stuck to the original spirit of making music that was outside of the box and therefor survived much longer than a lot of bands who were trying to be a part of certain hypes. We never cared for that, we just wanted to do our own thing and feel like we have achieved that. We want to thank everyone who’s involvement made it possible for us to do what we do… you most definitely know who you are.
The scene we’re a part of used to be an inspiring subculture but has turned into an abortion of mainstream accessibility, with choreographies on stage and cute little matching outfits. It’s frustrating to witness and really makes it less fun to go out and play with new bands sometimes. However, this is not a breakup, it’s a hiatus. Sooner or later we might find the urge to come back and slay!" -WFAHM
The Chariot To Disband, Farewell Tour Set For The Fall:
“Thank you. To everyone on this planet Earth that has ever supported us, helped us, watched us, hung out with us, given us a place to stay, given food, prayed over us, loaned us equipment, advised us, booked us, or given us a chance, no matter how big or small…we are forever grateful.” -The Chariot

DIMMU BORGIR: New Material Is 'Shaping Up Nicely':
"By the desire to achieve. Stoked about our new material, its shaping up nicely. Creativity is the power to connect the seemingly unconnected." -Dimmu Borgir
HELLYEAH Planning Spring Release For New Album:
“I’ve become really good friends with Kevin. He lives out in Vegas now; his studio is a mile and a half from my house. I’m a huge fan of his work; he worked with the mighty Mutt Lange. Everything he’s ever done is great. I feel like he really made Ozzy sound fresh again, Black Rain especially. Sonically, his records are unbeatable, and he gets the best out of every band.
We produced our last three albums ourselves, and we really feel like we did a good job on all that. But we feel it’s time to have an outside ear, somebody to give us an extra opinion; to be the sixth member of the band so to speak. That extra dude that drags everything out of you; I think he will and we’re really excited about working with him.
I really like him a lot, and how convenient; all the guys will just stay with me. We start in October and the record will be done before Christmas. That means it’ll be out around March or April next year, and we get to come back and tour all over again.” -Vinnie Paul
