I know that it's the middle of the week and we all feel the sting, but here's some reassuring music news to help brighten your day.
In addition to his few gigs with Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton has announced that he will be performing a tour with Who frontman Roger Daltrey. As if Clapton could be more badass.
Billboard recently reported that the final track listing and some information has been released for She & Him's Volume Two. Further confirming that the record will be released March 23rd.
Washington D.C.'s own Jawbox performed last night on the Jimmy Fallon show. The band hadn't played together since 1997 and there is no further reunion plans, but everyone who has ever been involved in the post-hardcore scene knows how much of a landmark performance this was. They performed three songs and their song "Savory", and it was the only song that they aired. Luckily, we have videos of their other two performances for their songs "FF=66" and "68".
I don't usually condone this behavior, but go check out this article on Alternative Press.com about religious protest groups at All Time Low's Philadelphia stop on their tour. Mad people are protesting that All Time Low promotes and embraces gay people. Read it, because ignorance lives in these peoples minds. However, if a good music protest group has a rally at an All Time Low show, then the band could be in trouble.
It has been reported that Blink 182 drummer and overall badass, Travis Barker, has finally settled with the airline company known as Learjet, and the tire makers of the plane that he sued for not making their jets safe for public travel. It was confirmed by both lawyers that the case is settled and the specifics are confidential. Barker and DJ AM were the only people to survive the crash, but DJ AM has since died of a drug overdose.
According to a small report, a group of Canadian artists are suing Warner, Sony BMG, EMI, and Universal records for using their music without permission. The report says that the labels have admitted to owing over $50 million.
Pennsylvania metal act Debtor have announced that they have signed with Blood & Ink Records.
Released in the form of a tweet, Underoath have been snowed in. The band is stuck in Newton, Iowa and have canceled their Kansas show tonight. Emery have followed suit. But like the badasses that they are, August Burns Red has taken the reigns and will be playing a solo show.
Billboard has announced that the All-American Rejects song "Gives You Hell" was the most played of 2009. Apparently they didn't keep track of the plays that "Pokerface" had.
