Union of Knives Working on New Album with NIN Collaborator Atticus Ross!
Glasgow, Scotland indie group Union of Knives is back with a new album and a new single. “Doing Drugs” is a roaring and soaring new single that shows off an edgier sound that is probably in part to them working with Atticus Ross who has collaborated with Trent Reznor on many NIN albums as well as his own work. Union of Knives is the second band to turn to NIN personnel to produce their albums after Ladytron recruited NIN keyboardist Alessandreo Cortini to produce their 2008 album “Velocifero”.
The Hundreds and Thousands Release new Single "Rat Race"!
Canadian group The Hundreds and Thousands have released their debut single “Rat Race” from their Self-Titled Debut to be released May 26. The track has the galloping epic drama of Muse, some guitar work reminiscent of the razor sharp licks of Les Savy Fav, and good blue collar shouting backing vocals that should get the indie kids and the punk kids shaking their way to the dance floor. Is May here yet?

Heroes of the Dancefloor Donate Proceeds of New Album to the Homeless!
Scissor Sisters side project Heroes of the Dancefloor has dedicated their entire album, “Torch”, publication rights and royalties included, towards helping the homeless. The money will go to two NYC charities; Picture the Homeless and Coalition for the Homeless. The band was inspired to do this because the number of Homeless people in NYC has risen 11% and the number of homeless children in NYC has risen 14%. Suddenly thier name seems very appropriate.
