For Free!: Coldplay's new "Violet Hill"
Coldplay are rallying the troops for their curiously titled fourth album,
Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends, which is set to hit stores mid-June. Taking cues from U2, the band enlists studio wiz Brian Eno to produce their newest record, while also having one of the most pretentious titles and covers for a mainstream band since, well, U2.

Through the 18 years of The Brian Jonestown Massacre, mini band breakups and huge mental breakdowns have been scattered in a musical history of heavy reverb and heartbreaking lyrics. April 15, 2008 marked the release of the thirteenth studio album for the fragile band:
My Bloody Underground.

Expectations! It's all anyone thinks about when the newest Weezer release hits the airwaves. Every album since
Pinkerton has carried the hoped "comeback album" hype. Could this be another dick tease for Weezer fans, signaling a return to form both aesthetically and musically to the supposed "glory days"?
by Cy Fard. Read...Phantom Planet: Interested in both fame and the macabre
You've already heard Phantom Planet a million times; their song "California" is the theme of that all-consuming cultural tornado known as
The OC. But you might not know that
Raise the Dead is the fourth album from the Californian quartet most famous for the unashamedly poppy, ironically optimistic rock of
The Guest (2002). Since then, Phantom Planet spent their third record exploring a Strokes-like assault on audio quality that resulted in a gorgeously-textured exploration of their darker side.

When trying to break into a local scene mainly dominated by jam bands, newcomers Snowsera knew they would have their work cut out for them. Yet, in just over a year, they've gone from being mostly unknown to being local celebrities, stopping at nothing to get the word out about their music. I recently sat down with the guys and found out they have no intentions of slowing down anytime soon. by Jena Kehoe. 
The Everythingrock staff lets you in on what it's been up to, and its thoughts on an excellent new disc. by Nick Giancola.
