Watch Arcade Fire perform at University of Texas

In the last week, the canadian band Arcade Fire gave a lecture at the University of Texas about their efforts toward helping the people of Haiti. If you recall, besides Haiti being a very poor country, an earthquake hit the country back in 2010, which according to wikipedia left up to 316,000 people dead and 1.6 million homeless.

After the lecture, the band performed two acoustic versions of Wake Up and Haiti. Watch the songs below!

The Temper Trap unveil new song!

Judging by this new track, it seems they are working on a darker and much more synth led record. To understand what I'm talking about, have a listen to Need Your Love below!
