Alice Cooper, Iggy Pop and Moby are among the musicians set to star in a new vampire film called ‘Suck’, reports The Guardian.
Slated to be a vehicle for comparison between the music industry and blood-sucking, the movie also is rumored to be ridiculous. Moby plays character Beef Bellows, lead singer for the band Secretaries Of Steak, and has 45 “important” words before getting eaten.

This review might end up with the opinion of every review you’ve read before - probably because this album is bound to sound like every rock album you’ve heard before. Don’t get it wrong - Framing Hanley’s re-release of their 2007 debut album “The Moment” has all the potential to be launched into emo rockstardom. However, there will be constant “sounds like…”s or “feels like…”s when compared to other contemporary bands, which could prove a bit of a disadvantage to the boys unless they decisively up it a notch.

Army Navy has released the music video for their first single “My Thin Sides” off the self-titled debut album and they were looking for a movie star to help promote it. Instead the found comedian Paul Scheer, a face (or rather a set of teeth) you probably know well from “30 Rock,” “Upright Citizen’s Brigade,” and more. It’s completely random. I have no clue why he’s running around naked in the video. But he is! Check it out below.

Time to drop some acid and take a trip back to the 70’s. With TK Webb on vocals and guitar, joined by Brian Hale (guitars), Ben McConnell (drums), and Jordan Gable (bass), TK Webb and the Visions is a blast from the past. As TK Webb describes his band: “It felt like gravity pulling the sound towards being bigger. From solo acoustic to a trio to a four- piece electric group. I found myself surrounded by bland half-baked folk acts and wanted out. This project feels right. It feels like a band should.”
Time to take a journey and check out their two track “Teen is Still Shaking” and Closed Caption” below:

R.E.M lead singer Michael Stipe is trying his hand at clothing design, designing a polo shirt for Locoste. The limited-edition shirt (pictured above) features a picture of a crowd that the product description claims “contrasts against colors of the Lacoste petit pique fabric that both obliterates detail and accentuates silhouette.”
The shirt comes packaged in an LP inspired sleeve, and is available now in a variety of colors wherever you traditionally purchase your Locoste-wear.
