Listen to Survival by Muse (new single)

The first single from Muse's next album - The 2nd Law - will make its debut today on BBC Radio 1 (7:30 PM, UK time).

The band have also announced the new song Survival has been selected by the Olympic committee to be the main official song for the London 2012 Olympic Games.

The album trailer released 3 weeks ago left the fans surprised. Some fans seem to dig the dub-step based song, while others don't like it at all and beg for a heavy guitar riffs album.

Will Muse be able to please everyone? Do not miss the debut of the song on BBC Radio 1 or later via iTunes.

UPDATE: Survival has surfaced Youtube. Check it out!

Swedish House Mafia break up

Today is a sad day for Swedish House Mafia fans. The house trio announced via their official website that when their current tour comes to an end, they'll split up and go separate ways.

No one truly knows the reason why they broke up, but rumors say they got tired of each other's company and they started to feel uncomfortable working together.

For now they stated only three show dates. The final part of their tour will be announced in August.

Swedish House Mafia Last Tour Dates:

Milton Keynes Bowl, England (July 14)

Ushuaia, Ibiza (July 4 – August 29)

Friends Arena, Sweden (November 24)

Listen to DIIV's debut album Oshin

DIIV are a four piece Brooklyn indie rockers who have recently appeared in the music scene.

The band was formed in 2011, when Zach Cole Smith decided to start a project of his own, later recruiting three of his childhood friends.

They were previously known as Dive, but unfortunetly there was a 90s Belgian band named Dive already, and they had to change the band's name (there was no lawsuit though).

Their music is a mix of dream pop and shoegaze with sounds of early 80s British bands like The Cure.

After releasing three singles, DIIV will finally release its debut full-length album, Oshin, on June 26. Guess what... good news! The record is fully available for streaming, via Hype Machine. Just press play in the player below and let yourself float through the sound waves.

Green Day to release three new albums

Green Day claim they are living the most creative moment of their lives. And it really seems so because the band will release a triology of albums titled ¡Uno!, ¡Dos! and ¡Tré!. The albums are scheduled to be released on September 25, 2012, November 13, 2012, and January 15, 2013 respectively.

Why a triology? The band said the songs just kept coming and coming, until they realized they had plenty of good material that wouldn't fit in just one album.

The band have recently released the official trailer for ¡Uno! as well as the album cover. Check it out below!

Radiohead performs a new song in Chicago (Full Stop)

Radiohead performed live in Chicago this Sunday night. When Thom Yorke announced "We have never played this before", the crowd gone crazy and immediately started to go along with the new song - apparently named Full Stop.

Fortunately there were a few people who got it recorded so we can also enjoy the brand new song. Watch one of those videos below!

New Bloc Party, Muse and The Killers albums!

Bloc Party's upcoming record, Four, is scheduled for release on August 21. There are no full length tracks to stream yet, but you can check out a trailer for the record that includes fragments of the new material.

On September 18, Muse will release their new album, The 2nd Law. The announcement came with a two minute trailer that portrays a global financial crisis and a reporter stating that the world's energy supply has come to an end. None of this is revealing, but in the end of the trailer a dubstep breakdown kicks in and it makes us wonder if the band's sonority will be influenced by this kind of music, that is becoming more and more popular nowadays.

The Killers will release their fourth album, Battleborn this fall. The band has also uploaded a trailer recently, featuring an instrumental track which might be an excerpt of the album's first single.

Johnny Depp plays two songs with The Black Keys

Johnny Depp never stops surprising me! Besides being one of the best actors of all time, he is definitely a man of many talents.

You probably don't remember (even if you've been following my blog since its beginning), but one of my first posts was about the song Society, by Eddie Vedder (from Into the Wild OST). By that time, I've found a live performance of the song where Johnny Depp supported Vedder and played along with him.

Today I was reading about MTV Movie Awards, and what have I found? A video of Johnny Depp playing with The Black Keys at the ceremony, and I must say he did a great job... Watch the videos below! (They might not be available in your region, and for that I am sorry)!
