By now we all know that composer Hans Zimmer has written a score for The Dark Knight Rises that comprises of fans worldwide chanting for part of the soundtrack. And from the man himself, it is only the beginning.
A few days ago Rise Records released a song by San Diego band SECRETS entitled The Heartless Part.

I have been entirely out of the loop. One of my favorite bands during highschool — and disbanded in 2006 — has not only reformed, but also wrote an entirely new album.
A lot of us know of Westboro Baptist Church and their constant stream of protests; preaching hate and hoping to draw a little violence so they can sue — but Foo Fighters had a different approach against them: crashing their protest in costume and singing.
It’d be hilarious if more performers do this to Westboro — basically invalidating their protests of hate by turning each one into a fun, little concert.
In the spirit of seeing Incubus rock the stage last night at X-Fest, here’s their song Nice to Know You.

Here’s the music video and song The Oath by SECRETS. They recently released the music video for their old and new fans alike. What else is there to say other than it’s badass?
Now go to their Facebook and “like” them.
Not enough? Okay, follow their tumblr and twitter for updates.
And then there’s also their official website.
Now go forth and tell your friends!
The surviving members of Pink Floyd once again pulled off a surprise for fans. During Roger Waters’ The Wall tour, David Gilmour and Nick Mason made an appearance performing alongside Waters at London’s 02 Arena last night.

This band has a sound that has a tendency to sound soothing and occasionally playful — such as this song.
Here’s Barriers off their 2006 album My Heart Has a Wish That You Would Not Go by the band Aereogramme.
