New Music on Myspace
August 8th, 2011Check out the New Music Tuesday playlist featuring the best of today’s new jams on Myspace!
.
Kanye West and Jay-Z “Watch The Throne” — After months of false starts and speculation, Kanye West and Jay-Z’s highly anticipated collaboration Watch The Throne is here and if game-changing songs like “Otis” And “Lift Off” (the latter of which features Beyonce) are any indication, it was well worth the wait.
.
Gucci Mane and Waka Flocka Flame “1017 Bricksquad Presents… Ferrari Boyz” — Gucci Mane & Waka Flocka Flame have made a lot of non-music related headlines this year, but their long-awaited collaboration Bricksquad Presents… Ferrari Boyz has been generating just as much attention. Mane has said the two of them freestyled the entire album and if that’s true, this duo deserves some type of hip-hop award.
.
Hell Or Highwater “Begin Again” — Brandon Sailer is best known as the drummer/vocalist for Atreyu but Hell Or Highwater sees him stepping out from behind the drum kit and stripping back the aggression to create a blend of pop rock that has more in common with Three Days Grace than it does Avenged Sevenfold.
.
The Horrors “Skying” — If you think that there aren’t still bands making quality goth/post-punk, you just aren’t familiar with the Horrors’ music. While it’s still dark enough for brooding teens, songs like “Changing The Rain” also have a U2-esque grandeur that will keep them in your head for weeks.
.
Trivium “In Waves” — Metallica are still waiting for a challenger to the metal crown and we’ve got our money on Trivium. On their fifth studio album In Waves the the band dial up the melodies without sacrificing an ounce of aggression… it also makes us which that we’d practiced guitar more in high school.
