During April 2012 Irish rockers Therapy? toured the UK as part of a package tour promoted by Jägermeister.

The Jägermeister Music Tour showcased British bands and saw Therapy? on a bill with cult heroes Skindred and retro rockers The Black Spiders.

On April 11th, the tour reached Glasgow, and Planet Mosh TV caught up with Michael McKeegan and Neil Cooper of Therapy? for a lengthy chat, which you can now watch below.

Therapy?’s 2012 release ‘A Brief Crack of Light’ gained a hugely positive response from the online press, with some claiming it a return to form.

On May 15th, post grunge/alternative metal band Godsmack release their first live album.

After over a decade together, so far a Godsmack show has never been captured on CD. This year’s ‘Live & Inspired’ offers a live show and more.

As the title suggests, in addition to previously unheard live recordings, the new disc contains a handful of cover tunes – tunes which have inspired the band. Although only featuring four songs, the covers EP features a curious choice of ‘Rocky Mountain Way’ (originally by sometime Eagles man Joe Walsh), and it’s that track Godsmack have chosen for a single release.

The confirmed tracklisting for ‘Live & Inspired’ is as follows:

CD 1 (Live):

01. Straight Outta Line
02. Realign
03. Awake
04. Moon Baby
05. Changes
06. The Enemy
07. Keep Away
08. Speak
09. Voodoo
10. Batalla De Los Tambores
11. Whatever
12. Serenity
13. I Stand Alone

CD 2 (Inspired):

01. Rocky Mountain Way (originally released by Joe Walsh in 1977)
02. Come Together (Originally released by The Beatles in 1969)
03. Time (Originally released by Pink Floyd in 1973)
04. Nothing Else Matters (Originally released by Metallica in 1991)

Following their reformation, Pixies’ first major show was at the Coachella Festival in 2004. Four songs from that landmark show are now available as a free download.

By visiting this location, you can download Coachella live performances of ‘U Mass’, ‘Monkey Gone To Heaven’, ‘Hey’ and ‘Caribou’ for your listening pleasure in exchange for an email address.

Want the whole show? Not a problem! Frank and co are offering a download of the complete twenty-one song set for a bargain price of $3.99 (approx £2.50).

REAL GONE says: Other bands should seriously consider taking a leaf out of Pixies’ book. £2.50 for a download is more than fair. Too many bands are still attempting to charge in the region of £7.99 a throw for something that’s costing them ZERO to distribute. It’s the fan who’s paid for the download, the fan whose spent time downloading and the fan whose CD_Rs are getting used after all…

It has been announced that Britpop icons Blur are to release a career spanning, career defining box set this summer.

Entitled ’21’, the lavish set will contain twenty-one discs in total, and include remasters of their complete album catalogue alongside 135 rarities.  The set will also include three DVDs, 65 previously unreleased tracks and a special 7″ single.

At the time of writing, no other details are known.  No official tracklist or info on rarities has been confirmed.  Fans can expect this item to come with a fairly hefty price tag.
