Dropkick Murphys Announce Fall Tour Dates, Title of Forthcoming Album, and Fan Tattoo Project

Dropkick Murphys just announced the title of their forthcoming album, SIGNED and SEALED in BLOOD, to be released in early 2013. The album is their second with producer Ted Hutt (Gaslight Anthem, Old Crow Medicine Show), which was recorded at Boston’s Q Division studios and mixed by Joe Chiccarelli (The White Stripes). “We had such a great time writing our last album, Going Out In Style, we were excited to get back into the studio right away,” says bassist and co-lead singer Ken Casey. “Where Going Out in Style was a concept album-kind of intricate and difficult-this one is catchy, fun, and as sing-along as can be.” Follow the jump for more information on the new album, Dropkick’s Fan Tattoo Project, and fall tour dates… (more…)

The Heavy release new album “The Glorious Dead” and begin North American Tour

English soul-rockers The Heavy released their new full-length album, The Glorious Dead, this week. The Glorious Dead is the band’s third LP and the follow-up to their sophomore record The House That Dirt Built (2009). The Heavy will be performing “What Makes A Good Man?”, The Glorious Dead’s first single, on The Late Show With David Letterman on Thursday, August 30. The band will be making a return appearance after their highly talked-about 2010 performance of their breakout hit “How You Like Me Now?” The Heavy mix together soul, hip-hop, rock, blues and funk to create a unique and memorable sound with wide appeal – as exemplified by the band’s enormous commercial success (by “commercial success”, I refer to the fact that it seems like their songs are used in EVERY commercial). So if all the Kia commercials didn’t exhaust you on these guys, grab your significant other and be sure to check these Brits out when they hit California next week. Follow the jump for a stream of the new album, the new video for the single “What Makes A Good Man?”, and tour info…

Free Show Alert: Hanni El Khatib @ The Levitt Pavilion in Pasadena, 8/9 (Tonight)

Tonight, Los Angeles-based blues-rock artist Hanni El Khatib is performing a FREE SHOW with the Tijuana Panthers at the Levitt Pavilion in Pasadena. The show is one of the highlights of the Levitt Pavilion’s 10th annual summer music festival. El Khatib’s debut album, Will the Guns Come Out, was released on September 27, 2011. The multicultural garage rocker puts on a massive set with just a guitar and drums, in the same vein as The Black Keys (which is an appropriate comparison, since Dan Auerbach is set to produce El Khatib’s second studio album). Show starts at 7pm, so head east tomorrow if you’re in the mood for some gritty, stripped-down, guitar-heavy blues. Check out some of El Khatib’s signature tracks after the jump…  (more…)
