"Fever"-inducing duo the Kills have wrapped recording efforts for Midnight Boom, the project's follow up to 2005's No Wow, and have slated a stateside release date: March 18 via Domino, Billboard.com reports. The duo -- Jamie Hince and Alison Mosshart -- originally holed up in a Los Angeles studio, but soon deserted the City of Angels and all its commotion for the calmer environs of Benton Harbor, MI. "There were no distractions, and that provides room for creativity," Mosshart said of the rural studio. "We had to invent things to do, and that kept us on our toes."

The Kills tapped Spank Rock producer Armani XXXchange (a.k.a. Alex Epton) for the effort, for which Hince and Mosshart found inspiration in television documentaries about '60s youths. "We wanted to create 'modern playground songs,' with really upbeat melodies and dark lyrics, like kids used to sing during recess," said Hince.

1. "U.R.A Fever"
2. "Cheap and Cheerful"
3. "Tape Song"

Hawthorne Heights Guitarist Calvert's Death Ruled Overdose

Casey Calvert, axeman for breakout emo sensations Hawthorne Heights who was inexplicably discovered dead in the band's tour bus Nov. 24, died of an accidental overdose of prescription drugs, an autopsy report confirms. The autopsy, conducted in Washington, DC, the city in which Calvert was discovered in the band's tour bus, concludes his death was due to the "acute combined effects of opiate, citalopram, and clonazepam intoxication." The report claims Calvert's death was accidental, though it states that it was brought on by "substance abuse." Citalopram (a.k.a the brand name Celexa) and clonazepam (a.k.a. Klonopin and Rivotril) are used to treat depression, and seizure disorders and panic attacks, respectively. [Via MTV.com]
