That headline is accurate, though don’t take it like a guarantee another album will come. Back in May, Blur‘s Damon Albarn said “So we have a week in Hong Kong, and we thought it would be a good time to try and record another record,” according to NME. What’s more than that, recently Alex James told BANG Showbiz “‘We had a few days off in Hong Kong and thought, ‘What the hell, let’s go to the studio.’ It went very well. The opportunity came and we took it. Any chance to get together and make …

The Replacements Reunite For Riot Fest
June 12th, 2013 Dan Bogosian The Replacements have not done a show since July 4, 1991. They are known (along with The Smiths) as one of those 1980s bands that influenced both the sound of alternative and indie rock to come, and the way lyricists put all of their emotions out there.
Unlike The Smiths, though, The Replacements are actively reuniting. They released an EP last year, Songs For Slim, and now have three shows on the radar: Riot Fest in Chicago, Toronto, and Denver. It is unknown who the full lineup of The Replacements will be; it will include lead members Paul …

Henry Rollins Will Not Be Reuniting With Black Flag This Summer
May 17th, 2013 Anthony Galasso Black Flag will be reuniting this summer and Henry Rollins will not be a part of it.
Rollins recently wrote an article stating why he’ll be stepping away from music, resulting in his lack of participation in the reunion. Check out the excerpt below and read the entire article here.
In the summer months, you can count on bands that have been gone for years who will reassemble and go onto stages all over the world playing “vintage music.” Perhaps they are on a Proustian mission to recapture that which has been lost. I read the interviews where the …

RX Bandits Holding ‘Resignation’ Ten Year Anniversary Tour
May 6th, 2013 Dan Bogosian RX Bandits foreshadowed an announcement today, and many within the industry suspected it would be a tour. They had already been announced to play Skate & Surf on the opposite side of the country than that which they are from, so a tour seemed to make sense.

Most of the dates take place on the west coast, but Boston, Philadelphia, New York City and a few other large cities do get their due. The opener appears to …

May 3rd, 2013 Dan Bogosian Well, isn’t punk rock exciting when you’re older and jaded instead of young and angry?

Neutral Milk Hotel Tour To Be Full International Tour Through 2014
May 2nd, 2013 Dan Bogosian Well, maybe we won’t have to travel south. The announcement earlier this week of a Neutral Milk Hotel reunion had a small indication there would be more dates, saying there was “more to come,” but it was hard to say for sure, as the announcement also included the quote “…and of water course womb rume is a wandering the welkin woman…” Point being, it’s hard to decipher old Elephant 6 messages.
Pollstar, the standard for music industry touring data, got a quote out of NMH’s long time booking agent Jim Romeo of Ground Control Touring, who said …

April 29th, 2013 Dan Bogosian Wow. I want to say wow times a thousand. A few short years ago, I never would’ve expected Jeff Mangum to come out of his hiding away, forever living on as some indie rock myth. Yet, it’s 2013, and I’ve got to see him perform as a solo artist twice. Each time it left me holding out hope that I would one day get to see Neutral Milk Hotel perform in full.
Well, 2013 is a year to be lived. Neutral Milk Hotel will be reuniting for five shows. That’s a pretty lame tour, overall. But I don’t care. You …
