New Pernice Brothers Album Cover Art

After Joe's solo book tour, it looks like the band is coming out with a new album, goodbye, killer. The cover art was put online today.  Their website says it will be dropping June 15. 

I know this Rockist can't wait.  Let's hope a tour with the complete band in in the works.

New Field Music

It turns out Field Music's hiatus hasn't lasted indefinitely.  After stints with School of Language and The Week That Was, it seems as if the Brewis brothers are back at it.  They have announced the track list to a 20 song album to be released in February.

It also seems that they are coming back to the States after a disappointing (for us DC folks) tour a few years ago.  They have dates in March, but none in DC.  Check them out here.

And for your veiwing pleasure, a new music video.

Field Music - "Them That Do Nothing"

Anyone interested in carpooling to NYC on 3/23?

Stay Positive, Dude

Leave it to our good friends at DC Rock Club to totally scoop us on this one, but better them than anyone else, I suppose. Anyway, The Hold Steady are currently streaming their latest album, Stay Positive, in its entirety. I haven't had a chance to make it all the way through the album yet, but I know that when we posted "Sequestered in Memphis" all three of us kinda had the same reaction - that it was positively 'meh'. I mean, we always knew there was a distinct Hold Steady formula, but now it's like they're not even trying. Oh well. Their first two albums were great and the third was decent - what more can you ask for really? Take a listen and let us know what you think in the comments.
