I posted my top ten lists for 2002 over at the other website I write for, indieworkshop.com. Check it out right here. My list is at the bottom. And in honor of said list, I'm gonna put up some mp3s from Logh and The Motorhomes. Yeah, they might've already been up awhile ago, but whatever. Enjoy!
I suspect the flow of news will be slow over the next two weeks, so if I'm not posting, that's probably why.
KVLR will be having a record release party for the new CD collection "On Planted Streets" January 10 at Norrlandsoperan / B-salen. Said CD includes all of the band's recorded material to-date on one disc. In other news, the album "The Great Collapse" (one of my 2002 faves) is finally going to get a Japan release February 19 on Philter Records/Sony.
The Embassy are the band of the week over at MTVE.com. Besides the short interview and profile, there's a couple song samples to check out, too.
Look for interviews with Cult of Luna in upcoming issues of Kerrang, Terrorizer and Rock Sound. As I've said before, I fully expect the new upcoming album to be a monster so keep your eyes out.
Finland's HIM just got back from LA and reports they are finished with the new album. Look for it around April on Supersonic/G.U.N. Records. The band also just completed the filming of a new video for the song "Buried Alive by Love". Bam Margera of 'Jackass' directed and Juliette Lewis makes an appearance. There's some photos of the proceedings here.
