Out today, the 2011-conquering Canadian rockers' "Year of the Tiger" rings in the Chinese New Year on a predictably epic note, with a grandiose sprawl of growling, blazing, crunching over-the-topness. …

December 19, 2011 Breaking news: As it turns out, Kim Jong Il's last words were, "If I had one regret in life, it was not being in New York to watch Fucked Up play David Comes to Life in its entirety at Le Poisson Rouge."

September 30, 2011 Nathan Williams, singer-guitarist for the San Diego surf punks Wavves, is a weed-puffin' bro with a "Life's a Beach" 'tude.
