The Men Triumphantly Return to Punk Rock Roots with Tomorrow's Hits Follow-up, Devil Music, Typewritten Letter & Rollicking "Lion's Den" (We Are The Men Records)

"Today, we announce our forthcoming full-length record, Devil Music, on our very own We Are The Men Records. The LP will be available on Friday, November 11, 2016. We found a [farm] and scratched down the songs on this LP after just a couple of days in our practice space. Luckily, our space and our studio are the same exact f**king room!, so the proceedings went quickly. “Gun” was [cut on] Friday after our shifts and some messing around with a Harry Nilsson tune. The rest were recorded on Saturday and Sunday, the holy days. You haven’t heard much from us lately, have you? It’s good to be alive and playing music," read a typewritten statement, addressed to "Everyone," published to The Men's Blogspot-run band site Monday, September 12th. It's an odd coincidence, since I was just listening to their infectious Creedance, Bob Dylan, and Rolling Stones-influenced 2014 album, Tomorrow's Hits on my Nexus 7 last week at work and wondering when the next, normally annually-released, The Men album would likely surface. Nick, Mark, Kevin & Rich additionally wrote that while Devil Music will be released on their own newly-formed We Are The Men Music, "Sacred Bones Records will carry copies and your record store should have it" and that LP copies will become available for pre-order within the 'Store' section of their site.

"Devil Music? Maybe it’s you and me. Here [are nine] new songs... it feels like music is all that remains for most of us... the little people... Thanks to our friend Jordan Lovelace for recording this album and to Jonny Schenke and his head shaking positively in front of the Neve. You can order the vinyl record right here on our sire or get mp3’s from the digital platforms out there and hopefully, in your local record store; in New York, our home, things are changing. Maybe you’re listening on Harlem River Drive..." continued The Men's self-penned press sheet. Devil Music will include tracks titled "Dreamer," "Crime," "Ridin' On," "Lion's Den," "Patterns," "Violate," "Hit The Ground," "Devil Music," "Gun," and "Fire," one of which appears to be a riled up Harry Nilsson cover.

"["Lion's Den"] started out as a slow acoustic guitar part that I tried to feel out like Boubacar Traore. I brought it to Mark [Perro] and we psyched it way out to the point of a dry spoken vocal, while he painted some great sound under noise behind the riff that went towards Pink Floyd. Then, it morphed into something no one was really feeling for a while... pretty soon though, I started the saxophone and we just played it with a faster tempo with this sort of free sax part over it. It keeps getting shape and it keeps getting wild and rowdy and really fun to play," The Men's guitar and sax player Nick Chiericozzi recently revealed to VICE's sister music site, Noisey.

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age.

Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of
