Today marks the 17th anniversary of Kurt Cobain’s death. Considered a legend and pioneer of the 90’s grunge movement, he is dearly missed by music fans the world over. Here’s one of our favourite Nirvana performances from their MTV Unplugged in New York session in 1993. Nirvana – All Apologies @ MTV Unplugged Got a [...]

Breaking news: Avril Lavigne’s influence reaches further than the ability to make fifteen-year-old girls wear ties. Her divorce with now ex-husband Deryck Whibley seems to have inspired many of the songs off Sum 41’s latest album, Screaming Bloody Murder. Wonder if she’ll be reimbursed. Most of the lyrics reflect a bitter tone after a love [...]

Trouble in TV Land! It looks like the newest video from 30 Seconds To Mars has been banned from the airwaves! A ratings committee reviewing the video concluded that, in its current form, the video is to be restricted from network TV play! Why?

Is Miley Cyrus your dream girl? If so, you’re not the only one. In a new video from Rock Mafia for their song, “The Big Bang,” Miley stars as the ellusive dream girl of a young man, played by Kevin Zegers of Gossip Girl and Air Bud acting fame. The video follows Miley in and [...]

Fergie and Slash have teamed up to make a music video for their song  “Beautiful Dangerous.” In the video, Slash is living the life of a famous rock star (he is Slash, after all).

And let’s see, what else can you expect to see [...]

When we originally showed you the teaser for My Chemical Romance’s new video “Na Na Na” a few months back, it gave us all a pretty good taste of the craziness of it. I think the description we used then was a weird mix of the film Mad Max and 80s neon. Today, the whole [...]

Kid Cudi’s latest single “Erase Me,” from his upcoming album Man On The Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager, now has a music video. And if you’re looking for a bit of 70′s hair rock nostalgia, then look no further. The “Erase Me” video seems like a tribute to the rock ages of the [...]

Linkin Park have released a video for their second single off of their A Thousand Suns album, entitled “Waiting For The End.” At first listen, the song is, um… well… it’s different. We’re not quite used to hearing this kind of sound from Linkin Park. Not to say that’s a bad thing, it’ll just take [...]

Well, this is a long time coming. The last time we heard music from the Good Charlotte guys was back in 2007, so for their loyal fans, new music is much needed.

A while back, the MetroLyrics Blog recommended an up and coming Brooklyn duo called Sleigh Bells.

Now, I know what [...]

Late last week, Ted Leo and his band of “Pharmacists” premiered a video for their second single off of their new album, The Brutalist Bricks, entitled “Bottled In Cork.” In the video, Reginald Van Voorst (aka comedian Paul F.

As a born and bred Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada kid, I hold a deep and passionate bias towards anything that has to do with my dear Van-City. Because of this, you might think that the reason I am posting songs by Dan Mangan is due to the fact that he, too, hails from the city [...]

I missed this one last week, but it deserves some attention. In an act of certain genius, the band combined three things that absolutely everyone in the entire world likes into one video: Music Dogs A Swimming Pool How could anyone possibly not approve of this video? You can’t, it’s impossible. Genius move, guys. Check [...]

I was on a roadtrip with a bunch of buddies recently, and one of the guys randomly had a copy of Blink 182′s Enema of the State album. We threw it in for a little bit of nostalgia during the ride. Awesome decision. As an early 20-something, my high school experience included A LOT of [...]
