The Libertines have just released their new single and video, “You’re My Waterloo,” taken from the bands recent album Anthems For Doomed Youth. “You’re My Waterloo” is the third single released this year, along with “Gunga Din” (Q Magazines ‘Track of the Year’) and “Heart of The Matter”.

The video for “You’re My Waterloo” was co-directed by Roger Sargent and Carl Barât, stars Freddie Highmore (Bates Motel / Charlie and the Chocolate Factory / The Spiderwick Chronicles) and Marama Corlett (The Goob / Sinbad / Desert Dancer) and tells the story of two lovers, immersed in each other and the after dark London they inhabit.

As previously announced The Libertines will be playing seven arena dates in January:
Thursday 21st Glasgow SSE Hydro Arena
Saturday 23rd Manchester Arena
Monday 25th Nottingham Capital FM Arena
Tuesday 26th Cardiff Motorpoint Arena
Wednesday 27th Birmingham Barclaycard Arena
Friday 29th Bournemouth BIC
Saturday 30th London The O2

Here is the new track from Travis. In the video you will find Daniel Brühl staring as the host of a Saturday morning kids TV game show which sends the band on a doomed trip to an extreme outdoor activity center. You can get a free download of the single HERE.

The Bottle Rockets’ have just released a new music video for “Dog” (featuring the band plus friends Carlene Carter, Neko Case, Murder By Death, Robbie Fulks, Will Kimbrough, and more artists with their four-legged friends) off of their latest and Headphone Approved record South Broadway Athletic Club.
This is song about having fun with man’s best friend and the video shows it as The Bottle Rockets and their many musical friends row, run, fish, lounge, sing, snuggle, and just hang out with their furry friends.

Fronted by vocalist and chief songwriter Lauren Hoffman, the Secret Storm’s latest EP, The Dragon, incorporates post-punk and grunge rock influences while maintaining her talent for pop melodies. This project shows that Hoffman has shifted direction, especially if you have lost touch with her career and are familiar with her first album, Megiddo, that was released in 1997 on the major label Virgin. The video for the title track is all you need to see to hear what we are talking about.

Songwriter, Ben Hopkins from PWR BTTM describes this video for the title track off the new album as “I’ve set my ‘best self,’ aka me in crazy monster drag, against my ‘worst self,’ aka me miserably staring at my cellphone alone in my apartment, in an attempt to take stock of my whole self. All of the behaviors within the video are my own, and in staging them side by side I’m trying to take ownership of the good, bad, weird, and fabulous parts of my personality.”

Ugly Cherries, the record, was out September 18, via a joint release with Miscreant Records and Father/Daughter Records. Enjoy!

Grave Babies have launched a new grim video for “Metal Me,” off their recently released Holographic Violence out now on Hardly Art. The clip, from director Bobby McHugh, depicts an imagined, violent revenge fantasy gone awry. This video will keep the spooky vibe of Halloween alive and well!

You many not know the name here but Paul Orwell has been on demand across seas. His late ‘60s rock has elements of talents like Phil Spector, The Pretty Things, The Beatles, and The Who.

The first two singles of his sold out quickly and his latest 7″ probably will too. Here is a video for his new one so you can hear what all the fuss is about. The 7″ is currently available on two nice looking splatter variants. You can still pick up one HERE.
