Album baru Radiohead

Cowok-cowok yang tergabung di Radiohead ini mungkin telah bertukar judul album dengan Kelly Clarkson, tapi semua tentang album terbaru mereka THE RAINBOWS tetap tipikal hard-rocking khas Radiohead. Seperti setiap album Radiohead - IN RAINBOWS ini juga meluncurkan lagu-lagu uptempo gitar dan balada akustik. Plus kesemuanya berbau rock.
Hampir semua lagu di album ini cukup familiar dengan penggemar dari versi live mereka, tapi kali ini dikembangkan jadi kreasi baru. Dua tembang, Arpeggi dan Bodysnatchers meluncur dengan irama gitar yang cepat, sedang House of Cards sebuah tembang balada buat pecinta rock.
Tembang All I Need mengaduk-aduk dengan salah satu liriknya yang erotik (I'm an animal trapped in your hot car) . Sementara tembang Videotape satu-satunya saat bagi band ini kembali memberikan sentuhan elektronik.
Di album HAIL TO THE THIEF 2003, vocal Tom Yorke lebih berirama punk, tapi di sini memberikan ia memberikan sentuhan R&B yang cocok dengan lagu-lagu beraliran romantis. Well, tak ada saat yang terbuang sia-sia, tak ada track-track lemah: hanya primo Radiohead. (mds)

Rivermaya new formation

Jayson Fernandez, an 18 year old from Manguisoc, Camarines Norte, is the newest member of Rivermaya. He won the judges –- and the bands –- nod hands-down during the intensely exciting grand finals for Rivermaya : Bagong Liwanag, the search for the next brother of the Rivermaya family. He joins Mark Escueta, Mike Elgar and Japs Sergio, with whom he will share songwriting and vocalist duties.The lanky teenager brought the house down with his heartfelt rendition of the Rivermaya classic Himala. It was as if he was asking the whole world for a miracle to make his dream come true, said judge Francis Brew Reyes, music director of the influential NU 107. Jayson brings a special youthful energy to Rivermaya – as shown when he performed his first song with ang banda ng bayan -– the rousing celebration of the future generation, Awit ng Kabataan, with all the joy and raw intensity that only an 18year old can rightfully bring to this anthem. The crowd at Music Musuem greeted him with wild cheers and a standing ovation, as the evening ended with Rivermaya's new single, Banda ng Bayan.The evening did not entirely go in his favor, as arch-rival Hans Dimayuga, 19, a senior from Dela Salle University garnered the most number of text votes and got the judges approval for best original song.Jayson dropped to the floor when Rivermaya co-manager, Lizza G. Nakpil, exclaimed, He was chosen from over 500 hopefuls who trooped to Rivermaya’s 2-day auditions at the University of the Philippines, and from 13 finalists who made it to the weekly televised search on Studio 23.A highschool graduate from St. Peter’s Academy in Calamba, Laguna, Jayson was raised by his lola and mother (who was a Juan dela Cruz fan and taught him to sing his first song, Balong Malalim.)

311

311 (pronounced "three eleven") is a band, from Omaha, Nebraska. Their musical structure incorporates a variety of musical styles including hip hop, alternative rock, punk, reggae, and funk

311 has enjoyed commercial success stemming from its widespread fan base. Since their self-titled album in 1995, all but one of their albums (the exception being Live) have been in the top 15 of the Billboard 200. Nineteen of their singles have received significant radio airplay since "Do You Right" in 1993; five of those songs being top 3 hits on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart.

The beginnings (1993-1994)
Their first major record, Music was released in 1993. The single "Do You Right" received airplay on modern rock stations and reached #27 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart. However, the album failed to chart at the time.
The lack of album sales came at a cost, Capricorn pulled their tour support right after the release of the first album, the band responded by financing their own tour. The band was driving around in an old recreational vehicle borrowed from Chad's father. After tackling a steep incline one day, the RV caught fire. The only door out of the vehicle was surrounded by flames so the band jumped through the fire. All of their equipment and possessions were lost, no one was injured, the song "Omaha Stylee" depicts the situation.

Mainstream breakthrough (1995–2001)
In 1995, 311 released what was to be their biggest selling CD, the self-titled 311 (also known as The Blue Album). Produced by Ron St. Germain , the album was recorded live in contrast to their previous two albums in which all instruments were recorded separately. The first single "Don't Stay Home" was a modest success, reaching #29 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart. But the follow-up single "Down," which was released 14 months after the album, received heavy airplay on mainstream radio and the accompanying music video was on MTV's rotation. The song hit #1 on the Modern Rock chart. The band made their Network Television debut on Late Night with Conan O'Brien on August 23. The third single, "All Mixed Up", enjoyed almost identical success, reaching #4 on the Modern Rock chart. These singles propelled the album to platinum status in 1996. The album eventually went triple-platinum. They also appeared on David Letterman playing "Down".

Later years (2003–present)
Their seventh major release, Evolver, came in 2003 and marked a return to the straightforward guitar-heavy sound that the band had become known for. Overall opinions of the album were mixed. Evolver debuted at #7 on the Billboard 200, and the single "Creatures (For A While)" reached #3 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart.
In 2004, 311 covered the Cure's "Love Song" which became a #1 hit on the Modern Rock Tracks chart. It also reached #59 on the Hot 100, their first single to reach that chart. It was featured on the soundtrack for the motion picture 50 First Dates and then a few months later on their own Greatest Hits '93-'03. The compilation debuted at #7 on the Billboard 200 and was certified gold. The album also featured two new songs. "How Do You Feel" and "First Straw". Of these new tracks, "First Straw", was released as a single and reached #14 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart.
