Music News
The latest Christian & mainstream music news, from NZ and around the world! You'll also be hearing a lot of this on the music news on the Late Show with George (and Dan) at 9.10pm weeknights and the new music pulse on Saturdays.
Music Video: One Republic "If I Lose Myself"
One Republic have set a release date for Native (March 26 btw) and have published the video for "If I Lose Myself" online.
While the video and the song have a pretty upbeat vibe, the song is actually about something pretty morbid, as the band told MTV News.
Music Video: Evermore "Hero"
So you might not be at Parachute 2013, but you can check the new video from Evermore before anyone else can! The new single "Hero" comes from their album Follow The Sun which is out now, and brilliant (jut FYI).
Life musos: The Next Generation
It's pretty sweet having bands that have been around for ages, and you go through all stages of life with them.
Trevor from Thousand Foot Krutch has announced on twitter that he's going to be a Dad this year!! Also Bianca from Group 1 Crew has announced that her and her husband are expecting their first baby in August too!
Music Video: Dukes "Sweet"
Check out the new music video for Dukes' song "Sweet". Very cool idea, to match the very coolness of the song.
Hopefully it won't be too long till an EP (or maybe even a full length album) is out from these guys - I'll keep you posted.
Stream: Paramore's new song "Now"
Head to paramore.net to stream Paramore's new song "Now" and (in the next couple of days) pre-order options for the international store will go live so you can get their new album first. Due April 9, and I'd expect most of the preorder options to come with an instant download of the new song.
Music Video: Manafest "Human"
Manafest churns out music videos like no-one's business. From his latest album Fighter, he's already done "Pushover" and "Throw It Away", and now here's the latest one for "Human" - probably my favourite so far.
Music Video: Hawk Nelson "Words"
Check out the new music video for "Words" from Hawk Nelson. And check out the interview Dan did with Jon Steingard over at the night show page.
Derek Webb BIG announcment
All round good guy Derek Webb is celebrating the 10 year anniversary of the release of his debut album 'She Must and Shall Go Free' by giving it away for nothing at noisetrade.com.
Also in this announcment video, he talks about a tour he's heading on in April/May and the release of a brand new album.
Lights acoustic album
Canadian electro-pop musician Lights is set to release an acoustic version of her latest album Siberia.
She's been playing a string of shows including a special acoustic set at Toronto-based Igloo church. Look for the acoustic album "in the next couple of months".
'Paramore' tracklist - new single soon!
Paramore are set to release their self-titled album in April, and have posted the full track list online.
Also sit tight!! The brand new single "Now" is out on Tuesday with the new music video as well.
I say bring it on!
