Tool is a contemporary metal band with a really careacteristic,heavy,dark sound.
I like to say they are the Pink Floyd of the new era, they have this unique sound and a really twisted way to develop their songs, generating a progressive ambient that like climbing in some sort of spiral reachs to the top and explodes in light!.
Their two first albums(Opiate-1992 and Undertow-1993) had a more raw sound but since Paul Dámour´s(bass) departure in 1995 and the come of Justin Chancelor the bands sound starts getting more solid from album to album starting with Aenema in 1996, album that opened more doors to popularity containing the song Aenema wich made them won a grammy that same year.
Then in 2002 and after releasing a box set of rarities and versions under the name of salival, they release their third studio album Lateralus a very polemical album , not only for its incredible cover art designed by Alex Grey wich figures a perfect vivivsection of the human body dividing each layer in each page but also for having an alternative order for the tracks known as “the holly gift” that revealed that the album was in fact a unique track ,cutted edited and finally reordered by the band. Then in 2006 and after editing a couple of lateralus related DVD´s they come out with their latest and probably most amazing work 10,000 days, a studio album with 11 tracks and with the weirdest cover I ever seen in my whole life,also designed by Alex Grey the album has this weird estroboscopic lenses to see the boocklet images in an awesome 3D perspective, tottaly worth the buy!!.
I stumbled upon this guys today, they are fucking amazing, They play those ancient shamisen in a rock n´roll style like they where playing on a gibson les paul. Originaly from Japan the yoshida brothers mix Ancient japaneese music with modern rock n´roll, pregressive metal,and even blues.
Ok with no more to say, I leave you with this amazing video so can really uderstand what I´m talking about!

American garage rock band leaded by famous actress Juliette Lewis(Natural Born Killers)who joined H2O´s guitarrist Todd Morse , bassist Jason Womack and drummer Ed Davis.
In 2004 they released their first E.P. “like a bolt of lightning” and their first full album under the name of “You are Speaking My Language” wich included songs like You are Speaking My Language wich was their most succesfull single and Got Love to Kill wich had a more disco influenced sound.
Juliette really knows how to charm her public…
In 2006 they Releeased their 2nd album “four on The Floor” wich included Hot kiss, a really cool punk rock tune with one of the crappiest videos I ´ve ever seen in were you can see juliette walking arround in a funny way dressed like an indian mixed with one of Fame ´s Characters.
I dunno If the band is still together , but I would tottally love a new album, for those who don´t know the band I highly recomend to get their albums cause this band rocks!
Ashes Divide is Billy Howerdel´s new proyect. Since a Perfect Circle entered on hiatus Former members Billy Howerdel & maynard James Keenan(former singer from tool) started focusing in their own proyects.
As maynard focused on his proyect Puscifer wich released his first album “V Is For Vagina” the last fall Howerdel focused on “Ashes Divide”. The proyect´s sound is not very different to APC, the music has almost the same mood, Howerdel´s voice kinda reminds me of the Smashing Pumpkings old era When Corgan used to cry a lot! but the songs are really good and makes you want to listen them one after the other.
Ashes divided first album “Keep Telling Myself Its All Right” was released on april 8 2008 and the band will now start a tour sharing stage with bands such as, Linking park,Chris Cornell,Atreyu,10 Years and Street Drum Corpse .
Hard Candy will be the title of the new and awaited album of Madonna, which will come to the shops in April and will be presented by the simple one ‘ Four minutes ‘, which will be to the sale at the end of March, as confirmed Warner Spain.

Madonna, which has sold more than 200 million albums and more than 100 millions of simple in the whole world, has just made debut in the direction with ‘ Filth and wisdom ‘, which it presented in the recent edition of the Festival of Movies of Berlin.
With lead vocalist Katie White, U.K. duo the Ting Tings have themselves a cheerleader more than a singer. But no matter, as “We Started Nothing” appropriately opens with a dashing display of dancefloor energy, and White is commandingly charming as she leads a chorus in “Great DJ” that’s little more than vowel sounds. But things get better from there, as the band’s U.K. No. 1 “That’s Not My Name” is a sassy singalong anthem.
There’s some Toni Basil in the band’s retro, slinky grooves, but the Tings walk away triumphant, thanks to a last-minute jolt of guitar. The act gets punky on iPod hit “Shut Up and Let Me Go,” and “Keep Your Head” and “Fruit Machine” are filled with brazenly sharp new wave sounds. For an album of sugar highs, there’s certain to be a buzz kill or two (”We Walk”), but there’s plenty of fun to be had here. —Todd Martens

U2 3D is a 360 degree immmersion into a perfectly realized concert - one minute you are shoulder to shoulder with The Edge,the next you are dropped into the thick of the franzied pit.
“when we come into town,Rattle and Hum is often playing the night before the show,” says U2 manager Paul McGuiness. “Twenty years on.Itll be U2 3D - I´d rather they saw that anyway.”
