You knew this info would come sooner or later, so die hard Twilight fans prepare yourselves. The New Moon Tour is underway and we just got the official roster, including cities and dates. The tour will be led by Death Cab for Cutie, the band that performs the lead single off the New Moon soundtrack, “Meet Me On The Equinox.”
Check out the tour schedule…
The official soundtrack for The Twilight Saga: New Moon won’t hit stores until tomorrow, but several critics have already had the opportunity to hear it. We’ve rounded up the latest reviews of the soundtrack, so you can read the highs and lows of the album.
Check out what the critics have to say…
The soundtrack for The Twilight Saga: New Moon is scheduled for release on October 16th, four days earlier than originally intended. The fans of the franchise pushed and pushed until the studio bumped the date up. Now, two days before the disc is available for purchase or download, MySpace has begun streaming the entire album on their New Moon film page.
Check out the track list, and the link to the album…
For those of you who haven’t heard about the New Moon soundtrack leaking after the 30 snippet previews went up, it turns out that you haven’t missed too much.
Billboard has just announced that the soundtrack’s release date has been moved up four days from October 20 to this Friday, October 16.
Not only is this album highly anticipated by Twilight fans but it is particularly gaining attention from music critics for its drastic change from mainstream to indie rock. We don’t blame them; we’ve been doing the same thing and from what we’ve heard via both previews and leaks, the shift has been for the better.
Robert Pattinson, the teen vampire heartthrob, seems to have his mind set on other things besides acting. In fact, he still striving to make art as a musician these days.
As a young Hollywood star who has to keep his head in the game, Pattinson probably understands that he can’t live off of his Cedric Diggory image or pasty yet handsome figure via Edward Cullen for too long. Before he was acting he was modeling, but after becoming every teen girl’s fantasy on the silver screen, he’s ready to focus on a music career.
Wasn’t it just yesterday that we gave you news of streaming 30 second snippets of the New Moon soundtrack? Well, if you’re a person with great morals, that will suffice until the album’s release date of October 20.
However, if you can’t help yourself and are dying to hear the album in its entirety – one full track to the next full track – then your desires are within in reach. Unfortunately for the Chop Shop Records and Atlantic Records, but great for you, the New Moon soundtrack has been leaked!
Right this moment, you can head over to Amazon and stream the entire New Moon soundtrack. That’s right, you can listen to tracks 1 – 15 as much as you want before the actual album release date! The only catch is that you’re only given 30 second clips for each song. We know; what a tease!
However, 30 seconds of one of most highly anticipated compilation put together for a film just might be worth it. You can finally hear what Thom Yorke, Grizzly Bear, Bon Iver & St. Vincent have secretly been cooking up.
It’s here! Death Cab For Cutie has just released their music video for their New Moon song, “Meet Me On The Equinox.”
Hipster teens and gothic Twi-hards can finally unite in heartbreak. With Ben Gibbard still sporting that long hair after his wedding with Zooey Deschanel and Robert Pattinson‘s pasty yet chiseled abs, girls (and guys) all over will be drooling by the end of this clip. At the very least, they can join the K-Stew club as they gasp by repeatedly playing it. (Why is her mouth always hanging open?)
Overall, the video serves its purpose as a teaser for the second part of the Twilight saga. Although, we were a bit afraid the band was going to get sparkly on us at one point… Check it out below and let us know what you think!
After the first Twilight soundtrack sold 2.2 million copies (Neilsen SoundScan), artists, managers, publicists and labels have been scrambling for a spot on the next album.
So far Thom Yorke, Bon Iver and Band of Skulls are all confirmed for New Moon‘s soundtrack. Death Cab for Cutie also scored big time as their song, “Meet Me on the Equinox” was chosen as the soundtrack’s leading single. However, famous music supervisor, Alexandra Patsavas (known for placing the music for Grey’s Anatomy, Gossip Girl and the first Twilight film), has told the New York Times, that the track listing is not complete yet.
