AltPress Exclusive: First Ryan Ross-less Panic At The Disco song out August 17
So yesterday was pretty nuts, right? First, Panic At The Disco guitarist/primary songwriter Ryan Ross and bassist Jon Walker quit the band. Then, hours later, Brendon Urie (vocals) and Spencer Smith (drums) responded to Ross and Walker’s departure, assuring fans that PATD will soldier on. Now, Alternative Press has exclusively learned that we’re just weeks...
Telepathe
Telepathe Dance Mother [2.5/5]
Oozing out of Brooklyn like a pulsing computer virus being ridden bronco-style by a Björk-esque singer, Telepathe are repetitive and droning, yet there’s something inexplicably charming about the indie-trance outfit.

Omar Rodriguez Lopez

Rodriguez Lopez said he’d written the parts and simply wanted to concentrate on producing the record, but critics...
The Brighton Port Authority
The Brighton Port Authority I Think We’re Gonna Need A Bigger Boat [3/5]
With all of those aliases-Britpop bassist of the Housemartins, big beat blacksmith of Mighty Dub Katz and Fatboy Slim-we have to wonder: Does Norman Cook ever accidentally mistake himself for someone else? Cook adds another stamp to his sonic passport with the...
