Grave Danger told Punk News, who recently premiered "Wake The Dead:" "with "Wake The Dead," we wanted a big, menacing sound, worthy of the Lovecraftian Horror that inspired it, to balance out the fun, bouncy horn parts that we love to write. We had a great time working to get the vibe just right for this monstrous love letter to coffee." Grave Danger is Dave Schwantes providing guitars, bass, keyboards, tenor sax, baritone sax, and backing vocals, drummer Dane Erbach, vocalist Chris Marcanti, trombonist Margaret Miller, trumpet player Andy Miller, and Emily Erbach on theremin/synths.

While they only come out about once a year on, around, or for Halloween, Grave Danger make it well worth the nearly year-long wait every time. "Wake The Dead" is just another fantastic notch in their slowly, ever-growing discography.

[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 .

Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra

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
