More sports FM radio in Boston coming. Less music.

LOWELL — Samuel L. Jackson might have had enough of those motherfucking snakes on that motherfucking plane, but three years later, Cobra Starship  (which outfitted the title song for the 2006 summer reptilian thriller) hasn’t given up the party.
Although many people initially thought the group was a joke promotional tool for the film, the boys [...]

CAMBRIDGE — As I walked into the Plough and Stars about a month ago I felt slightly ill at ease. The cover was $7, and the space was packed. With little room to move, I worked my way to the front to meet singer Andrea Gillis.
Gillis immediately raised my confidence in the place and in [...]

The Camilo Project and its members, Jason “Camilo” Margaca and siblings Mark and Patrina Foley, are trying create something completely different.
With a sound that departs from your run-of-the-mill alternative, the Boston-based band features progressive hip hop beats while maintaining an alternative rock vocal style with lots of strings. Coined informally as “conscious alternative,” the [...]

What’s the saying about every great man having a great woman behind him? Now that sentiment can officially be applied to ’80s alternative icon Frank Black. For his latest project, dubbed Grand Duchy, the former Pixies front man (a.k.a. Black Francis)-turned-solo artist has teamed up with his wife, Violet Clark. The duo will release their [...]

Harmonix drops a loaded set of tunes into the DLC vault. Full list inside.

Blink 182 has reunited.
In statements posted on their website and MySpace, the punk rock band talks about a tour and a new album coming in the summer.
Hi. We’re blink-182. This past week there’ve been a lot of questions about the current status of the band, and we wanted you to hear it straight from us. [...]

Despite how you might feel about Fall Out Boy, there is no denying they have a tendency to be infectious. Now their fourth album, “Folie A Deux,” is out in stores and the first just-as-catchy single “I Don’t Care” is already hitting the airwaves. Whether this latest record will go down in history as the biggest sell out of the generation or punk-emo martyrs for the masses has yet to be determined, but try and find someone who doesn’t know the words to one of their songs. Just try.

Tour stories from San Francisco based indie-pop group Loquat sound a lot more like a haphazard family vacation with a tight budget than a trip to perform in cities around the U.S. [...]

Not much to say. You have Rock Band. You need this.

Two impactful names in music, rock legend Sting and progressive heroes from Tool will be making their video game debuts, offering both theri music and their likenesses to Guitar Hero World Tour.
The two acts add to an already huge list of artists — just about everyone will be in either Guitar Hero World Tour, Rock Band [...]

When “Oceans” is released on August 19th, there’s a good chance The Stills’ summertime good fortune will continue. It’s their strongest record to date, coming on the heels of 2003’s “Logic Will Break Your Heart” and 2006’s “Without Feathers.”

Opener “Jager Yoga” includes delightfully nonsensical phrases like “Desperate Living, Hairspray / Baltimore with Tanqueray / Live your life John Waters’ way.” “Let’s Reggae All Night” makes it hard to resist the urge to do just that.

On “Live at The Bass Performance Hall,” Lindsey Buckingham’s first live solo release, the guitar god who got his first taste of fame in Fleetwood Mac more than 30 years ago proves that he hasn’t lost any verve during his years on the road. [...]

Sara Quin wouldn’t want to date herself … or any other musician, for that matter.
