Album news from The Preatures, and a new single

    The Preatures have announced a September 26th release date for their debut album 'Blue Planet Eyes'. This is of course the release date for their native Australia, but the band is promising an American release date shortly after. To fill the void enjoy a listen to the band's new single 'Somebody's Talking' below. 

The awesome news, Gerard Way is going on tour. The bad news...

 

    He's not coming to Chicago. I'm definitely bummed that he's not coming here, but all of you lovely people on the east and west coasts have the privilege of seeing Gerard Way perform live. I'm hoping the album release will lead to more dates being announced soon. Until then I'll have to wait patiently for the new album. Check out the tour dates below, and Gerard's website for information on purchasing tickets.

The new video from YYZ has landed, and it's kinda great!

 

      YYZ has released the video for their catchy single 'I Wanna Be With You' today on The Huffington Post Canada. All of us 90's kids out there will truly appreciate the video's adventure through classic video games such as Pac Man. I'm loving this video and the song is the perfect song to listen to on a night out. Check out the video and tell me what you think!

Sucre is BACK!!!

 

       Stacy King's side project, with husband Darren King, is back with a new EP entitled 'Loner'. Their new single 'Young and Free' has been posted to Spotify, and the EP is available for pre-order on iTunes. I highly suggest you take a moment and listen to this hauntingly beautiful music. I made sure to listen to the preview on iTunes, and was almost brought to tears inside a Dunkin Donuts. Stacy's voice hits a nerve more deeply than most ever have for me. Check out 'Young and Free' then pre-order your copy of the 'Loner' EP today!

Mecca by Wild Beasts
