The Darkness Get Animated

(Banana 101.5) After parting ways in 2006, The Darkness are back and have unleashed the first song and accompanying animated music video from their upcoming new album.

Blending their trademark late 70′s/mid-80′s glam rock sound and their flare for comedic videos, The Darkness have managed to pick up right where they left off in 2006 with the animated video for 'Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now.'

The band reunited for their official comeback gig at last year's Download Festival, and are currently finishing up their third full-length album.

Corey Taylor Explains Dave Grohl Collaboration

(Banana 101.5) Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor recently gave further details on Dave Grohl's upcoming Sound City Studios documentary and confirmed that their recent collaboration was part of the project.

Dave Grohl hasn't volunteered much information about his upcoming documentary involving the studio where 'Nevermind' was recorded –the now closed Sound City Studios. The one thing Dave has hinted at is that we can "expect some epic jam sessions." Those "epic jam sessions" will presumably involve the artists he has recently been working with — members of Ratt, Cheap Trick, REO Speedwagon and — the most recently revealed co-conspirator — Slipknot vocalist Corey Taylor.

Most of the information we have on the upcoming documentary has come from the other parties involved with the project, not Grohl. The most detailed description to date came from Corey Taylor's recent conversation with Artisan News: "[Dave is] doing a documentary about the legendary board from Sound City that everybody and their mom recorded on — everybody from [Nirvana's] 'Nevermind' to, actually, [Slipknot's] 'Iowa'," Corey said.
