Bloc Party to Release EP This Summer

Bloc Party has been touring around the US for a while promoting their fourth studio album Four. In and interview with the Miami New Times guitarist Russell Lissack said, “We literally were just in the studio this week actually. We still need to do the vocals, but we’ve been working on six new songs. Depending on how the finished things pan out, we’re either going to put out a single or an EP. I think in June or July.”

He added, “I think all the records we’ve made have been quite eclectic, and this EP is no different. I’m not sure ultimately what songs will be released, but there’s quite a variety of songs and sounds coming up.”

Depeche Mode’s new album “Delta Machine”

Depeche Mode have disclosed full details of their new album ‘Delta Machine’.

The album, which will be released on March 26 and was produced by Ben Hillier and mixed by Flood, is the band’s first release since 2009. ‘Heaven’ will be the first single taken from the new album and will be backed by remixes from Matthew Dear, Blawan, Owlle and Steps To Heaven.

In a press release, the band’s Martin Gore said, “Writing this album was incredibly daunting as I wanted the sound of this collection to be very modern. I want people to feel good about listening to this record, to get some kind of peace. It’s just got something magical about it.”

Dave Gahan added: “With this release we’ve completely shifted our idea of how to create an album. When we hit a wall where we realize the album is beginning to sound too normal, we’ll mess it up and really give it that organic Depeche Mode Sound. Delta Machine is no different, and I can’t wait for all of our fans to hear it.”

A deluxe edition of the album will include a bonus disc with four extra tracks as well as a photobook with pictures of the band taken by Anton Corbijn.

Depeche Mode recently announced two concerts at London’s O2 Arena in May 2013.

They will play the venue on Wednesday, May 29 as well playing the day before on May 28. These are currently the only UK dates the band have announced as part of 34-date European tour which will include appearances at Rock Werchter Festival in Belgium (July 7), BBK Festival in Spain (July 11) and Optimus Alive Festival in Portugal (July 13). A North American tour will follow later in the year.

The Black Keys – Sister

The Black Keys are creative with their music video adding a layer of humor to them since the begging. Tighten Up,  Howling For You, Lonely Boy, Your Touch….and the list goes on. This time with their music video for “Sister,” we focus on a number of girls waiting to go to school and then skipping school sticking to the lyrics of the songs theme: “Sister, sister what did they do to you. Sister, sister what did they do to you. Did they take and try to break. A heart that longed. It’s so wrong”
