A couple weeks ago in Nashville a relatively unknown band hit the stage. Although The Dead Weather doesn't exactly ring a bell, anyone who is unfamiliar with its members should have their bell rung. As you've probably already noticed by the image directly above this text, Jack White is involved. He happens to be the group's drummer. To his left is Greenhornes/Raconteurs bassist Jack Lawrence. On his right and playing guitar is Queens of the Stone Age's keyboardist Dean Fertita, and Alison Mosshart of The Kills singing lead vocals. Upon listening to Hang You From The Heavens one would assume that Jack is at the mic, but in actuality the voice heard is in fact of Ms. Mosshart. Trust us, take a listen. Oh...did we mention it might smash your face in? We appologize for any unexpected damage. Website. Buy It.

Chuck Berry - Johnny B. Goode
Lets be serious...what kind of rock blog would this be if we didn't pay tribute to Chuck Berry today? Just a little commemoration for the great rock icon and his release of Johnny B. Goode exactly 51 years after it hit the shelves. Oh and by the way, we'd also like to thank Chess Records in Chicago for their work.

Pop Levi - Terrifying (For Kenneth Anger)
Terrifying, as well as Police $ign, are brand new singles from Pop Levi. The sound is a bit more lo-fi than we're used to hearing from Pop, but in no way does it detract from the music. In fact we think it adds an element of badassness. Please take the opportunity to see Pop Levi live if the opportunity presents itself, songs like Terrifying and Police $ign are a truly masterpieces when you're standing directly in front of the band.
