The Strokes To Release First Single From Angles,
"Under Cover Of Darkness" on February 9th
Song Available to Stream and Free Download for 48 Hours from TheStrokes.com
"Under Cover Of Darkness" Available to Purchase In The U.S. on February 15th
The Strokes are set to release their newest single, "Under Cover Of Darkness," on February 9th via a stream on their website. The song will be available to download for free for 48 hours from www.thestrokes.com , and will arrive at radio on the same day. "Under Cover Of Darkness" will be available to purchase digitally in the US via iTunes on February 15th.
Rolling Stone had nothing but superlatives to say regarding "Under Cover Of Darkness," awarding the song 4 stars. They proclaimed that the song "barrels into the bar with "Return to Form" written on its forehead...The Strokes give us that same old song one more time, primed and polished for a new age."
The song is the band's first released track from their highly anticipated upcoming album Angles, out on March 22nd via RCA records in the US, and March 21st via Rough Trade Records in the UK. Angles is the band's first new release since 2006's First Impressions of Earth and marks the ambition of that album with the immediacy of the band's earlier albums Is This It (2001) and Room On Fire (2003). In 2010, the band returned to the road, playing and headlining major festivals in the United States and UK, including the Isle of Wight Festival, Lollapalooza, Hurricane Festival, Splendour In The Grass, Rockness, Outside Lands, and Austin City Limits. Time Out Chicago hailed the Lollapalooza performance as "the best set I've seen since covering Lollapalooza. Better than Radiohead in 2008. Better than... who headlined last year? ...The crowd...was euphoric."

THE RAVEONETTES TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM, RAVEN IN THE GRAVE
SET FOR AN APRIL 5TH RELEASE ON VICE RECORDS
NEW TRACK "FORGET THAT YOU'RE YOUNG" NOW AVAILABLE FOR FREE DOWNLOAD
WEST COAST DATES ADDED TO US HEADLINING TOUR
The Raveonettes Sharin Foo and Sune Rose Wagner are excited to announce the release of their new album "Raven In The Grave," out April 5th on Vice Records. After the best part of a decade honing their instantly recognizable sound and seeing it co-opted by so many other bands aspiring for a similar level of greatness, the Danish-bred, American-based fuzz pop duo is blazing a newer, darker trail with the compelling "Raven In The Grave."
"I think we have finally hit on something quite important and different for this album," explains Sune. "This is the first Raveonettes album we've done which doesn't feature the signature Raveonettes surf drumbeat. None of the tunes have any real sunshine to them. It's all very un-Rave." "It has a mood of ethereal defiance," Sharin adds. "It's dark but not bleak, like the single minded determination caused by crisis that is not quite hope but just as powerful. It's the perfect winter soundtrack just in time for spring".
To get fans excited, The Raveonettes are offering the achingly-beautiful new song "Forget That You're Young" for free download at http://www.viceland.com/vicerecords/download/the_raveonettes-forget...
It doesn't take long to hear how the band has superseded their traditional sound. Of course, melody is still key to what the Raveonettes do, but the familiar bombastic beats and squalls of guitar-noise take a backseat during much of "Raven In The Grave." Instead, the album is awash with ghostly synths and chillingly beautiful riffs that leave you feeling simultaneously unsettled and enchanted. It's easily the most soulful music the duo has created to date.
Beginning March 30th in Philadelphia, The Raveonettes will embark on a six-week North American headlining tour.
Tour Dates:
March 30th Theatre of the Living Arts Philadelphia, PA
March 31st Paradise Rock Club Boston, MA
April 1st La Tulipe Montreal, QC
April 2nd Phoenix Concert Theatre Toronto, ON
April 3rd Magic Stick Detroit, MI

BREAKING NEWS! by Alternative Press
FEATURE: Barry Johnson of Joyce Manor is “Violent Inside” on new album
For JOYCE MANOR, expectations are at an all-time high. The band's 2011 debut garnered a ton of critical and fan praise for its raw, real pop-punk sound, and was the catalyst for the band's move to Asian Man Records for their new album, Of All Things I Will Soon Grow Tired. Due out Apr. 17, OATIWSGT is a nine-song, thirteen minute romp where no breaths are taken and no ideas are rehashed. Joyce Manor take quite a few calculated risks in these new songs, but as you'll read below, aren't worried about alienating fans.
AP chatted with guitarist/vocalist Barry Johnson about the new record, the trials and hiccups writing and recording it, and why they threw a cover of "Video Killed The Radio Star" right in the middle of it. The first single from OATIWSGT, "Violent Inside," is streaming below as well.
Interview: Bryne Yancey
Let’s talk about “Violent Inside” first. What’s it about? What was the experience like recording it?
“Violent Inside” I’d just say is about always feeling angry. It’s like, growing up as a punk kid, things bother you that don’t bother other people. You can’t just check out at the grocery store without being disgusted by magazines and movies and the way the person in front of you is behaving, the cashier—everything bothers you and makes you feel angry and want to act out violently. Of course you never do, but just, you know—that. I have certain friends who feel that way as well and we’ve felt that way since we were kids and still feel that way now. It’s like—here’s a song about that. It’s about people who always feel angry. It’s also about the people who don’t.
Your description of it almost reminds me of that Michael Douglas movie Falling Down where he’s just angry at everybody and just starts killing people for no apparent reason.
Or Larry David [of Curb Your Enthusiasm], where people are like “let it go” and he can’t let things go. [Laughs.] I guess “Violent Inside” just sounds better than “Frustrated Inside.” I think it’s kind of cool how it’s such an angry song [lyrically] in this big, head-bobbing, power-pop salad called “Violent Inside.” It’s nothing like the title inside would suggest.
Yeah, exactly.
Lyrically, it’s in there. The outrage is in there, but it’s just kind of in there in this creamy pop song.
What was up with that pre-order on Tuesday? That went a little crazy.
Pretty cool, huh? It just destroyed Asian Man. The label that made me want to be in a band and the kids love him. I would say it got me into punk, but that’s totally not true because it got me into ska. I was like, “I don’t know about all this punk, but man, this ska—this Bruce Lee Band record is killer.” [Laughs.] But yeah, it’s really, really cool how many people wanted to pre-order it. There’s no exclusive color or anything, which is weird, too.
Yeah, it’s just three colors—500 of each.
Yeah, so it’s really cool that people wanted to buy it. Maybe Asian Man’s servers are not that good and it could have been maybe 30 people that were trying to order it. [Laughs.] It’s flattering, but I don’t know. Maybe people just wanted to get an Alkaline Trio patch, too.
So I have to ask you about the cover song—“Video Killed The Radio Star”—on this record. It’s right in the middle of the record. It really stands out. What made you want to cover that song? What made you want to put it on the record, and in that position?
It’s funny; when the band first started, it was just me and Chase—a two-piece acoustic band. That was one of the first songs we did. I had, like, one song written and said, “You know what we should cover? ‘Video Killed The Radio Star’ because that’s the best song ever.” There’s actually a demo recording of us of the best song ever. We really, really like that song.
And it’s not some statement about technology and progress and how the more we move forward the more we leave behind—none of that. Absolutely none of that. Not that I’ve never felt that way, but that’s just so corny if that’s what we’re getting at. It’s just a killer song. We were just like, “Let’s kind of make it kind of a skate-punk thing.” It didn’t end up as skate-punk as I wanted it to be. I wanted it to be like a ‘90s punk cover of Lagwagon doing “Brown Eyed Girl” or every fucking ‘90s jam where they covered a song from the ‘80s and made it, like, you know, circle-pit drums and everything else. We tried to do something like that, but it ended up being a little more tasteful than we hoped. It’s still funny, the people saying “How dare you cover this great song so poorly and throw it in the middle of your album,” but that was such a good spot for it. It just hits super hard right in the middle.
One of the reasons I asked is that there’s definitely been some negative rumblings already about this album being only nine songs and one of them being a cover.
People were like “What’s up with that album cover, dude?” and saying I should’ve waited a year to write more songs. It’s like, “Holy shit, you haven’t even heard the record yet. Calm down.” I know you don’t want to like it, that’s fine. It’s hilarious. They haven’t even heard any of it, but they’re like, “How dare these guys.” [Laughs.] With how our first record went over, it was fully inevitable. We’re playing pop-punk. It’s not that rare to—everyone loves a pop-punk band, you know? I kind of saw that coming and I’m glad that all four of us were like, “Oh shit! It’s going to be embarrassing to like our band in about a year.” I knew that was coming. That’s great—that’s fucking awesome. I love it. And there are these dudes that think they are so cool and they can just go onto the next flavor of the month. Whatever punk band they’re gonna get into. It’s cool; I like the backlash. It’s nice there’s something you can count on in this world.
