  In the late 1970s, New York’s CBGB was the definitive club to hear the best new wave bands. One regular was Television, a quartet whose 1977 debut, “Marquee Moon,” was a hit with both critics and fans. Television went off the air (and off the stage) in 1978, but you can rerun “Marquee Moon” in a newly-remastered CD. Tune in to hear the album, including four bonus tracks and the single “Little Johnny Jewel” in a listening party from Rhino Records.   There’s nothing like a little hard-driving rock ‘n’ roll when you’re on the road. Let CarandDriver.com and Sony Music provide the ideal vehicular accompaniment with “Rock Your Ride,” featuring music from Bruce Springsteen, Audioslave, KoRn, The Ataris, Howie Day, The Raveonettes — and, very appropriately, from Chevelle and Fuel. The site features audio tracks and videos for you to enjoy.  Australian pop singer/songwriter Ben Lee has “No Room to Bleed” in this acoustic version of the latest single from Lee’s new album, “Hey You, Yes You.”  As a follow-up to their 2002 album, “Leaving Through the Window,” Something Corporate will release “North” on October 21. Watch this “Space” — the very first music video from their new album.  Experience the intensity of Kutless in “Run,” the new single and music video from the young Portland, Oregon, hard rock band. Featuring the vocals of 20-year-old frontman Jon-Micah Sumrall, “Run” is from the band’s self-titled new album. Be sure to catch the videos for “Tonight” and “Your Touch” also featured on the site.  DJ Tiesto invites you to play in “Traffic” by enjoying the video of him spinning the song live in front of 25,000 people in the Netherlands. A trance track with a hard and techy edge, “Traffic” is from Tiesto’s upcoming new album, slated for European release in May 2004.  “Rock-N-Roll Records (Ain’t Selling This Year),” or so say Supersuckers in their energetic, rockabilly-inspired music video. Supersuckers will blow you away while you watch them perform their new song in a raging desert sandstorm. |
