The new single “Crying Town” is a totally new direction for Buddy Love, away from the DIY Power Pop (that brought them their notoriety in the 80’s) to “ahem” mature adult contemporary rock artists with songs that can stand the test of time and be listened to again and again. Their new album also called “Crying Town” will be released later this summer.

Bleu’s latest album “Four” is on it’s way. Jellyfish’s Roger Joseph Manning Jr. and Mike Viola assists here, and it all sounds amazing. Below is a rehearsal by MOGUL (with Bleu, Mike and Roger) on “Everything’s Fine.” The music is on SoundCloud. When these three guys get together, I get the fanboy goosebumps all the time.

 Stone Temple Pilots – Between The Lines by Atlantic Records

Atlantic recording group STONE TEMPLE PILOTS has announced the upcoming release of their hugely anticipated self-titled studio album “STONE TEMPLE PILOTS.” This will be the first studio release since 2001’s certified gold “Shangri-La Dee Da.”  The new album – which will be released on MAY 25 – will render the magic that has established the band as a dominate force in the rock scene for the past two decades, featuring tracks that original bassist, guitarist and vocalist, Robert DeLeo recently admitted to SPIN magazine as musically reminiscent of “Paul Revere and the Raiders” driven by the sound of the sixties. Check out theband’s site. With all the other new releases coming out it’s good to see this band return after years out of the public eye.
