The Killers premiered a brand new video a few days back of their track “A Dustland Fairytale” from Day & Age and we must say we aren’t entirely thrilled with it.

So they decided that Crystal Castles did a brilliant remix for one of their tracks “Death” and a video should accompany it.

Yeah Yeah Yeahs have a new video for the track “Heads Will Roll” from their latest album Its Blitz and as much as we have to agree they have diluted their gravitas, emotion laden lyrics to simple indie-rock stomps, we still dig them with all our hearts.

The Gossip’s latest single from their upcoming new album Music For Men right here with a brand new mint-as-hell remix of their older track “Jealous Girls” by our favorite Tommie Sunshine. Including the latest video by Beth Ditto and band!

The Enemy released Music For The People digitally today and we have been playing it over and over again the past week or so.

This is a testosterone driven album and we have to admit, it has “essential british rock and roll” smeared all over.

We are all excited with the full release of the album In Primary Colours by The Horrors which is due 4th May but here comes another video off their new album. It is a video of their track “Who Can Say” and features the band’s shoegazing/post punk rock in an empty auditorium.

What are these 4 hot chicks doing here? Are they part of a pop girl group? WELL….sorta.

But think, The Pipettes and Long Blondes rather than erm spice shits?
