Rock News


Weezer has made their own iTunes pass available, giving fans access to exclusive music, videos, remixes, and other content for a limited period of time. Fans who purchase the pass for $19.99 will receive a cover of the Clash's "Should I Stay Or Should I Go" and will also get new weekly content through November 24th. The pass also entitles buyers to a deluxe version of the upcoming Weezer album, Raditude, plus bonus tracks, live recordings, behind-the-scenes video footage and the video for the CD's first single, "(If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To."


The surviving members of Sublime have spoken out officially for the first time about their decision to reactivate the band with a different frontman more than 13 years after the death of singer/guitarist Bradley Nowell. In a press statement about their appearance later this month at San Francisco's Smokeout Festival, drummer Bud Gaugh said, "People are talking about the upcoming show and using words like 'reunion' and 'reformation,' but neither term is correct. This is a celebration. It's a celebration of the music that we made with our brother Brad, as well as a celebration of his memory. We want to share that experience with our fans, friends and family -- and that includes (new frontman) Rome, the newest member of the Sublime family. He's a great kid with a helluva voice and an amazing energy. He fits right in."


Speaking of Blink-182, now that the band has finished its lengthy reunion tour, it seems like a new album is definitely on the horizon. Bassist Mark Hoppus wrote at Twitter on Tuesday (October 13th), "First morning after the US/Canada tour, and I'm already excited for the next steps: record album, tour overseas." Meanwhile, drummer Travis Barker said about Blink's first trek in more than four years, "markhoppus and Tho-mas Delonge it was so much fun, i agree best tour ever. And our crew and fans are untouchable....the best. Thank you."
