Atlanta's O'Brother have announced that they will be releasing a follow up to their critically acclaimed debut album on August 20th titled Disillusion via Triple Crown Records. Read the statement below:
“O’Brother is thrilled to announce the release of their sophomore studio album Disillusion, slated for August 20th, 2013 via Triple Crown Records. The band ventured out of their hometown of Atlanta, GA to the bitter cold of Long Island this past winter to hole up in the studio with engineer/producer Mike Sapone (Brand New,Public Enemy, Daytrader). The result is a heavier, refined follow-up to the band’s critically acclaimed 2012 debut Garden Window, which the Wall Street Journal’s Jim Fusilli described as “…a brutalizing blend of industrial rock, alt-metal and metal featuring a three-guitar attack….”

The ever prolific, genre-hopping solo eccentrist Beck has announced a proper studio follow up to 2008's Modern Guilt and an acoustic album, which according to Rolling Stone magazine will serve as a "as a small-bore, self-contained work along the lines of 1994's One Foot in the Grave. "I have a bunch of songs I recorded about four years ago that I'm hopefully going to try to finish," Beck told Rolling Stone late last year. "I'm not sure if it's relevant anymore." Both albums will be released independently, release dates are still TBA.
For now, listen to Beck's latest single "Defriended" (which reportedly won't appear on either of the new albums): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pDSjOM42HZU

Since his departure from the defunct band, My Chemical Romance, Gerard Way has rekindled
his earlier comic book career by teaming up with DC's Veritgo publication. The imprint, aimed
towards a more controversial style for graphic novel audiences, will feature the former
vocalist's re-imagining of Batman through a limited series.
The project was approved, after five years in the works, now that there's enough time to
dedicate to the conceptual six issues vision of the iconic caped crusader. He'll also be focusing
on a The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys comic, along with a TV directorial debut for "The
Aquabats! Super Show!" season finale.
Art sketches, attribute details, and release dates can be found in the link below.
