You heard it here first: Hard-Fi, “Suburban Knights”

Not to be confused with Muse’s “Knights of Cydonia,” another song I hyped under the “You heard it here first” banner. My boys from Staines are back with their second long-player, and if this song is any indication, this record is gonna be HUGE. At the very least, it will sound huge, and principal songwriter Richard Archer clearly hasn’t forgotten that sometimes the simplest parts of a song are its most enduring. Not sure what I mean? Wait for the backing vocals in the chorus.

The album, Once upon a Time in the West, drops September 18. I, for one, can’t wait.

Video Vault – Procol Harum

Procol Harum was one of the best and oddly overlooked bands ever. Every one of their albums has something worth hearing, which is more than you can say for 95% of what’s out there today, if not a little more. Here they are blistering “Still There’ll Be More” in the ’70s. B.J. Wilson’s drumming was incredible; Gary Brooker’s voice and piano playing always a joy.

Censored video of the week: The Exies

While our own Mojo Flucke was not too jazzed about the Exies’ latest album, A Modern Way of Living with the Truth, this song and video intrigues us. Inspired by all of the celebutante’s boorish antics of late (Paris, Nicole, Britney, etc.), the band recorded a new song, “God We Look Good (Going Down in Flames,” and edited the video themselves on their tour bus. The clip has already been pulled from YouTube (it’s been replaced with an edited version), though unless they went through it frame by frame, it’s tough to say what they found to be so objectionable. Some scantily clad women, some drug references, some bad words (maybe; we couldn’t really tell). Sounds like a typical day at the office for us. Either way, the clip doesn’t say anything we didn’t already know about our vapid celebrity culture or the Unstoppable Killing Machine that is George W. Bush (spoken with a hint of sarcasm), but the clip is definitely still worth a look.

To video the video, click here. Be patient, the clip is over 30MB in size, so it’ll take some time to load.
