• The Strokes's 'Reptilia' Featured in New Volkswagen Commercial [WATCH]

    The Strokes's "Reptilia" has enjoyed a remarkable amount of success since it was released in 2003 as the second single from The Strokes's second studio album "Room on Fire." "Reptilia" has been popular not only with fans but also commercially. Though some of the momentum has been lost for the 11-year-old track, it still remains relevant with ad executives. The most recent example comes in the form of a new Volkswagen commercial for the 2015 Golf line of cars.You see the three different cars Volkswagen is pushing from the sporty, faster model to the electric car of the future. "Reptilia" is set in the background as the cars nimbly maneuver around a sparse cityscape and into a crowded parking garage filled with screaming fans, via "Stereogum."The Strokes have had a small revival in 2014, returning to the live stage in the United States for the first time in three years. Fans eagerly await a potential new album and more touring dates. The band had a five-year hiatus between their third and fourth studio albums in 2006 and 2011 before coming back in 2013 to release "Comedown Machine."

  • AC/DC Drop 'Rock or Bust' Video: Aussie Rockers Play for the Fans in New Clip [WATCH]

    AC/DC's new video for the title track off their next album, "Rock or Bust," showcases what the band has been about for more than 40 years. The group, minus Malcolm Young and Phil Rudd, perform the new song to a legion of frenzied fans in the video. It has been a long journey for the Australian rock outfit, but they continue to rock just as hard as their "Back in Black" heyday."We be a guitar band / We play across the land / Shootin' out tonight / Gonna keep you up all right," Brian Johnson sings on a glowing, circular stage in the video below. Rather then being set up on a platform above its fans, the band, like always, holds its loyal rockers above themselves in the video.

  • Waka Flocka Flame One-Ups AMAs with Incredible Pine Brothers Commercial [WATCH]

    While much of the music world was focused on the American Music Awards with all of its star power and big performances, it might have been easy to miss one of the many commercials that happened during the broadcast. Pine Brothers, the throat lozenges company, decided to try and break the Internet on their own by tabbing Waka Flocka Flame to be their next spokesman in a hilarious commercial.Waka manages to turn something as benign as cough drops into pure comedic genius with subtle facial gestures and how he reads off the ingredients, like "Imported Gum Acacia."Waka finishes the commercial by saying, "So next time you need soar throat relief [looking guiltily at the plume of suspicious-looking steam rising next to him], for whatever reason, take your Pine Brothers. This is a lesson in how to market a product and build buzz around something that is otherwise pretty bland."Waka has been getting into some comedic sketches lately. This is his latest effort, but he recently sifted through 60,000 applications to be his personal blunt roller after offering the job online with a salary of $50,000. This may be his biggest spot yet, with millions of viewers watching the AMAs. Head to the Pine Brothers website to see three more small clips with Waka.If you go on Facebook and share the video, Pine Brothers will give you one of the many prizes listed below.
