A Lot Has Changed For Paramore's Hayley Williams |
Buzznet: You guys are working on your new album, I heard that it's being produced by Meldal-Johnsen, who most recently worked on M83's albums. How was it working with him on this album and how would you compare it to previous albums? Hayley: At this point, we have recorded one song with Justin. That time in the studio was easily the most relaxed, inspired, and liberating experiences we have had in any studio thus far. We are huge fans of his work not only as a producer but as a musician, writer and musical director. He wears all those hats well and with a lot of humility.
Buzznet: What is the main inspiration behind the new record? Hayley: I am laughing things off a lot more easily these days than I was at 19, when I wrote the last album. A lot of change... a lot of positivity. Even the songs with the more serious subject matter feel less toiled and troubled. Musically, I am most inspired by the personality captured in every instrument. That, to me, is actually what is making up this newer sound that is happening.

Iommi Comments On Black Sabbath Hometown Show |

"It turned out to be no problem whatsoever because Ozzy [Osbourne], Geezer [Butler] and Tommy [Clufetos] were nailing everything, no chance to feel tired! I'm really pleased with how it turned out, fantastic crowd and I want to say thank you to all of them for giving me such an amazing reception. On our way again at last!"

Kyuss Lives! Member Slams Josh Homme Over Legal Fight |
In 2010 Bjork and singer John Garcia decided to reactivate the old band, and while Homme refused to take part he gave them his blessing. They toured as Kyuss Lives with no issues until discussions began about recording a new album. At that point the former guitarist became unhappy.
In March he filed a federal lawsuit alleging trademark infringement and consumer fraud, arguing that their name suggested a link to Homme which didn't exist. Bassist Scott Reeder then added his name to the legal action. But Bjork says the move is the result of Homme having his ego bruised � and an extension of problems which arose in 20 years ago.
Find out why here.

Blood Red Shoes Releasing New Album This Summer |
The new album was recorded at The Motor Museum in Liverpool with producer Mike Crossey (Arctic Monkeys/Foals/Tribes) who has partnered with them on the production side since their debut album Box of Secrets in 2008.
Since the release of their debut 4 years ago, the duo of Laura-Mary Carter and Steven Ansell has embarked on a grueling, unrelenting tour schedule, seeing them travel the four corners of the globe and earning them an international fanbase. However, life on the road can have its side-effects as Steven speaks of some of their more troublesome moments: "From getting arrested after spending a night drinking in a biker den, Laura fighting bouncers....twice, to the two of us breaking up onstage or having a giant fight in Prague and me getting found in the street robbed by two prostitutes. Oh and there was that time where we were invited to a hotel demolition party in Paris where we broke into Keith Richards' room and totaled it. These stories are all on the record. I guess being only two people spending more than 300 days a year together makes you kind of...volatile. Modern bands seem way too clean-cut and sensible to us anyway."

Singled Out: To Speak of Wolves |
Gage Speas "Je Suis Fini" was one of the first songs we wrote for our new record, "Find Your Worth, Come Home." One of the memorable things to me about this track is that I recall wanting to change the chorus when we were in the studio, but I was having major writer's block at the time. Later I was taking a shower and it came to me right away, so I scrambled out of the shower and wrote it down as fast I could so I didn't forget, haha.
We ended up choosing this track to make a video for because we felt it was a really good representation of the record as whole. Lyrically, the song is about finding your worth and rising up. Also of note is that this is the first song I ever really sang on and the end result is a good mix of both singing and screaming.
Phil Chamberlain: Musically, "Je Suis Fini" was built off of a few riffs our guitarists and Aaron and Corey had written. We worked on it in our practice space for a few days with each member of the band having a fair amount of input, which is different from some of the other tracks on the album where one particular person had a specific vision for the way the song should go and took the reigns for that particular song. The end result is one of our favorite tracks on the new album!
Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself and learn more about the album
