Video – Money Mark "Pick Up The Pieces"

The Cost
The Frames are one of the biggest bands in Ireland. Despite record label conflicts and multiple line-up changes, the band has managed to release a steady steam of quality recordings dating all the way back to 1992′s Another Love Song. The Cost, The Frames’ latest effort, finds the band in an unfamiliar spot. The release is their third album in a row for the same record label (the first time in the band’s long career that has happened) and it seems that the comfort of finding a caring home for their music is working out quite nicely for The Frames. The Cost finds The Frames at the top of their game and is filled with expertly crafted, emotional and thoughtful epic pop songs that will simultaneously bring a tear to your eye and a smile to your face. read more »

Listen To The Clash Live From 1979
People from my generation never got to see The Clash live during their heyday. Sad isn’t it? Yeah, we all own a copy of London Calling, but there is something to be said about experiencing a live show from them. Back in February of 1979, The Clash performed at Cleveland’s Agora, and we found a website that is streaming the concert free of charge read more »
Thom Yorke Responds To Noel Gallagher
