• NFL Plans Super Bowl Concerts for Every Borough in New York...But Where? Check Out Music Times' Suggestions

    The NFL understands the appeal of musical performance, and thus are compiling the biggest collection of artists for Super Bowl 2014, which will be held in New "New York City" Jersey. Bruno Mars will perform the actual game, but at least five other acts will take a stage in each of the five boroughs of the city. Problem no. 1: New York in February will almost assuredly be cold, certainly too cold for outdoor musicianship. Problem no. 2: Most of the boroughs aren't equipped for indoor concerts.

  • Best Coast Streams New Album Fade Away One Week Early [LISTEN]

    Best Coast's new seven-song EP, Fade Away, is streaming free a week ahead of its official release. It's kind of like if you took Crazy For You and The Only Place and created a baby out of them — that's what Fade Away is," Bethany Cosetino said in press release. It's not super lo-fi and DIY sounding, but it's not too produced either."

  • DMX and Swiss Beatz Confirmed to be Teaming Up Again For Rapper's Next LP

    DMX hasn't had a great 2013. Although the rapper has a long rap sheet of arrests, he's had various auto mishaps this year, including DUI and driving in possession of four packages of marijuana. Plus, footage emerged of a nude X running around a hotel. He wasn't charged with anything, but it still led many to question his mental shape. Producer Swiss Beatz wants to get DMX back to the place he was at the end of the decade however.

  • Q&A: Baroque Pop King Jacco Gardner At Culture Collide Festival

    If you haven't an idea of Jacco Gardner, think Donovan-like offspring of Pink Floyd and The Zombies. Meeting him, you could be fooled into thinking you're frozen in a 1967 D.A. Pennebaker documentary. Just for a moment. And then you realize he's a fresh artist in his own right. Just 25 and hailing from the Netherlands, he brings an experimental sound that has no limits of where it will go from its past influences.

  • A Perfect Circle Releases New Song: Is New Album Far Behind? [LISTEN]

    A Perfect Circle has a tightly knit compilation of fans that either dig the band's ability to go from stomping menace to melodic lullaby, or they're Tool fans that need something to tide them over until vocalist Maynard James Keenan comes around. Tool hasn't released anything since 2006, and Circle since 2004, so those fans are thirsty for something (Keenan's other band, Puscifer, has put out two albums, but Music Times doesn't find them up to snuff). The kind-of good news is that A Perfect Circle released a new track, "By and Down," on October 14.

  • Culture Collide Festival: Keaton Henson and Liars

    With over 65 acts from countries around the globe, Culture Collide is like the U.N. of Music. The three-day festival has seven venues nestled within Echo Park, LA. There's little room for pretention -- soundchecks happen in front of the audience and artists put their sound and soul on the line for whoever stumbles their way. There's out-door dancing, dark-room discovering, and in some cases, sitting in a church. Keaton Henson and Liars are two standout acts exploring outcast themes, which festival-goers fully embraced from start to finish.
