Florence + The Machine have released a new video for their track ‘No Light, No Light’.

The number is the third single to be taken from the band’s second album, ‘Ceremonials’ and you can view the clip below.

‘Ceremonials’ was exceptionally well received upon release, reaching #1 in the UK, New Zealand, Ireland and Australia and breaking the top ten in various other territories.

As part of their run of live shows to support 2011’s ‘King of Limbs’ album and subsequent remix release, Radiohead have announced a handful of European dates.

European fans can see Thom Yorke and co at the following venues:

Rome Hyppodrome Capanelle (June 30)
Florence Parco Delle Cascine (July 1)
Bologna Piazza Maggioara (3)
Udine Villa Manin Codroipo (4)
Berlin Wuhlheide (6)

The band have stated the current set will be largely based around the ‘King of Limbs’ material as opposed to a greatest hits styled set.

Boston legends The Lemonheads are to have their career celebrated early in 2012 with a double “best-of” release.

Alongside verious choice cuts from the band’s career, longtime fans can rejoice at the inclusion of a few unreleased tracks and rarities. Named ‘Laughing All The Way To The Cleaners’, although pre-major label cuts are scant, the disc presents the first time the band’s whole career has been covered on one release.

The cover of ‘Gonna Get Along Without You Now’ (released in 1992 just prior to their career breaking ‘It’s A Shame About Ray’) makes its CD debut, though the other two otherwise unavailable tracks from the ‘Patience and Prudence’ 12″ EP – a remix of ‘Stove’ and a cover of New Kids On The Block’s ‘Step By Step’ – are still AWOL. ‘Rudy With a Flashlight’, the only new track featured on the band’s previous compilation (1998’s ‘Atlantic Years’), makes a welcome reappearance here.

Five years after leaving Survivor to pursue solo work, vocalist Jimi Jamison has rejoined Survivor.  2012 will yield a set of live dates and a new album, the band’s first in almost a decade.

Jamison joined the band as vocalist on their fifth studio album ‘Vital Signs’ after the departure of original frontman Dave Bickler who provided the voice on worldwide hit ‘Eye of the Tiger’.

After Survivor’s original split at the end of the eighties, Jamison began a solo career, eventually gaining commercial success with ‘I’ll Be Ready’ (the theme from ‘Baywatch’.)

After eighties success, the Survivor story became complicated, with the band reuniting for live shows between 1994-2002 with original frontman Dave Bickler on vocals (his last studio appearance being on 1983’s flop album ‘Caught In The Game’).  During this time, Jamison was also on the road with ‘Jimi Jamison’s Survivor’.  Jamison rejoined Survivor in 2003 for an album and more live shows before departing again in 2006.

The current Survivor line-up features Jimi Jamison (vocals), Frankie Sullivan (guitar), Marc Droubay (drums), Billy Ozzello (bass) and Walter Tolentino (keyboards/guitar), with only guitarist Sullivan from the original line-up.
