"Songs of Innocence,” is the new album from U2 and is available for free download via iTunes. It’s been a very exiting week for Apple with their announcement on Tuesday regarding their new products. Bono announced the release of their 13th studio album and informs fans via a letter that the timing had to be right. Apple purchased the album for free release to the masses in celebration of the U2/iTunes commercial 10 years ago. The album has been produced by Danger Mouse, Paul Epworth, Ryan Tedder, Declan Gaffney, and longtime friend Flood. The album is available also via the bands U2.com website. High expectations, all U2 fans know the band gets better as years go by, just like wine. Below is a brief statement from Bono, via his letter.

 “I hope after listening to our new long player a few times, you’ll understand why it took so long. We really went there… it’s a very, very personal album. Apologies if that gets excruciating”…

New Music from Radiohead

The band has recently updated their app called "PolyFauna" with new music from the band in three years. The music was delivered via their app as an update, surprising Radiohead fans all over the globe earlier this week. The new music will mark the band's ninth studio release, new album is still in the works. Longtime producer and bands friend, Nigel Godrich will be joining them once again. The songs display synthetic sounds and more ambient feeling to the band's sound. This will mark another initiative from the band to independently release their music without the help of other major labels. The band is scheduled to enter the recording studio at the end of September.  Most of Radiohead band members have been working on their side projects such as Atoms for Peace with Thom Yorke, Philip Selway's solo effort with the release of Weatherhouse, and Jonny Greenwood's contribution to the score of Inherent Vice.  Fans are always excited to listen to one of the greatest bands of this generation.  Below is a screenshot from the PolyFauna app.

The Return of "Faith No More"

Legendary Alt-Metal band Faith No More is scheduled to release their 7th studio album in April 2015.  The release will be their first studio album in 18 years, time has really passed by.  Growing up with hits like "Epic," "We Care A Lot" and "King For A Day" brings so many memories on how good this band was.  Mike Patton has been involved in various highly influential projects like Mr. Bungle, Peeping Tom, Tomahawk, and Fantomas.  Lead singer has also been involved in various film score projects and voicing for video games.  The band's first single, "Motherfucker," is scheduled to be rereleased in November 28th, as part of a limited release from Patton's label Ipecac Recordings.  There is a lot of fans that can't wait to hear Patton's diabolical sexy falsetto voice.  It's always a good thing for music to have old school folks teach young kids how it's really done.
