  • Best Coast Streams New Album Fade Away One Week Early [LISTEN]

    Best Coast's new seven-song EP, Fade Away, is streaming free a week ahead of its official release.

  • Q&A: Baroque Pop King Jacco Gardner At Culture Collide Festival

    If you haven't an idea of Jacco Gardner, think Donovan-like offspring of Pink Floyd and The Zombies. Meeting him, you could be fooled into thinking you're frozen in a 1967 D.A.

Just 25 and hailing from the Netherlands, he brings an experimental sound that has no limits of where it will go from its past influences.

  • A Perfect Circle Releases New Song: Is New Album Far Behind? [LISTEN]

    A Perfect Circle has a tightly knit compilation of fans that either dig the band's ability to go from stomping menace to melodic lullaby, or they're Tool fans that need something to tide them over until vocalist Maynard James Keenan comes around. Tool hasn't released anything since 2006, and Circle since 2004, so those fans are thirsty for something (Keenan's other band, Puscifer, has put out two albums, but Music Times doesn't find them up to snuff). The kind-of good news is that A Perfect Circle released a new track, "By and Down," on October 14.
