Fans might have to wait longer than expected for Pearl Jam’s next album, but the band is taking its time for good reasons.

In a recent interview with CNN, Noel Gallagher speculated as to why Oasis never broke as big in the US as they did elsewhere.

Since the last time I wrote about Our Lady Peace’s forthcoming eighth album (in this feature), it’s been given a release date—April 3rd—a title—Curve—and the cover art has been revealed—a picture of boxer George Chuvalo.

Despite this and that being published every so often about new releases from Tool and A Perfect Circle, there’s no sign that we’ll be hearing either release very soon.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers will be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on April 14th, and they’ll be joined for the performance at the ceremony by a couple of past members, not including former guitarist John Frusciante.

Big Wreck are back with their first album in eleven years, but vocalist/guitarist Ian Thornley almost joined a different band before that reunion could take place.

Regarding the title of Coldplay’s fifth album, vocalist Chris Martin has said, “The title doesn’t have any other meaning. I think we’re a band with a lot of history now so it’s nice to come up with something that doesn’t have any history at all.”

The most unfortunate coincidence in album titles related to the September 11th, 2011 attacks in the States might be Slayer’s album God Hates Us All being released on that very day.

Rival Sons are an efficient band. They wrote, recorded, and mixed their latest album, Pressure & Time, in just twenty days.

To say that “it was not enthusiastically received by Metallica fans” would be putting it gently, which is something that most people did not do.
