*[consequenceofsound.net] In the Corin Tucker Band’s music video for “Neskowin”, Tucker’s own experience as a girl coming of age in the ’80s is re-told through the adventures of two best friends. These girls, stuck in the awkward, Brittany Spears-defined struggle between childhood and womanhood, skip a family vacation in order to wear makeup, listen to records, flirt with boys, narrowly avoid fisticuffs, and attend their first glorious punk-rock show. And in an Eddie Murphy-esque turn, Tucker appears as three different characters (the protective mother, the hippie who the girls flag down, and the girls’ idol, punk siren Poly Styrene of X-Ray Spex). Watch the video below (via NPR First Listen).
The outfit’s sophomore LP, Kill My Blues, is in stores today via Kill Rock Stars.
*[consequenceofsound.net] New Jersey garage rock kings Titus Androncius have let loose the album artwork (see HERE) and lead single to their new album, Local Business (10/22 via XL). “In a Big City” is a mid-tempo rocker, and comes accompanied by a pretty amazing video that matches the lyrics with pictures of Lil Wayne, black holes, and Futurama. Check it out below (via Pitchfork).
*[NME.com] Biffy Clyro will be releasing their brand new double album, 'Opposites', on January 28, 2013.

*[pitchfork.com] Ladyhawk are obsessed with weed, loss, insecurity, stasis, and how your emotions can get away from you when you're drunk. They make bar rock for when you feel too old at the bar you used to love. Ladyhawk write songs about not aging gracefully, and on their third album, No Can Do, much of this adult heartbreak is tempered by economy. Condensing heavy times into two-and-a-half minute bursts is a formidable skill, and on "No Can Do", singer Duffy Driediger and company do this expertly. Without losing any of his vocal sleepiness, Driediger sounds angry-- he's as disgusted with himself as he seems to be with whoever the song is about. No one's painted in an attractive light, no one figures anything out, and then it's over. In Ladyhawk's world, being bummed isn't alluring-- it's just the way things are, and by embracing it, they make it seem like an alright place to be.

"This is a My Bloody Valentine song called "Don't Ask Why" and the great Justin Gonzales was the mastermind behind this one (recorded, mixed and mastered in one week!). Anyways, click the link above to download it via Bandcamp. Also, just stay tuned because our full album is going to be released into the world on Sept 25th (pre-sales are on the 20th!). Needless to say, we are super excited about the future as there seems to be so much on the horizon.
Thanks a million. Enjoy the tune!!!" - Stivers and Gonzales

What’s more, Deerhunter will play three separate sets during their festival, including full performances of their albums Cryptograms, Microcastle, and Halcyon Digest. Bradford Cox’s Atlas Sound project will also get a set.
The full lineups for both festivals will be revealed soon. But if the curators alone convinced you to buy tickets, then head to ATP’s website beginning this Thursday at 10am GMT.
As previously reported, ATP will also stage festivals in NYC next weekend (curated by Greg Dulli), in Camber Sands, UK in November (curated by Shellac), in East Sussex, UK in December (curated by The National), and in Australia in February (w/ My Bloody Valentine).
*[theprp.com] The Mars Volta and Mariachi El Bronx are among the artists to be interviewed on the upcoming Funny Or Die internet series “The Gorburger Show“. You can watch the trailer for that madness below with the premiere to kick off this coming Monday, September 24th.
*[theprp.com] Doomriders have revealed that they are currently spending their time writing a new album. No word yet on when it will drop however.
*[consequenceofsound.net] As you may know, there are two upcoming Hollywood productions dealing with Jeff Buckley. One is an actual biopic about the late singer, starring the guy who played U2′s Spider-Man. The other is called Greetings From Tim Buckley and tells the story of Jeff’s involvement in a tribute concert for his father. Gossip Girl star Penn Badgley plays Jeff in that one, and he seemed to pass the first test with a solid live performance of “Lilac Wine” recently. Now, the trailer for Greetings From Tim Buckley has been revealed (via Stereogum), and by the looks of it, this movie is going to be more of an over dramatic love story than any sort of exercise in music history. But at least he sort of looks like him.
