Lately, a lot of bands have been playing hard to get and teasing us with their new albums and The Big Pink is one of them. They released a short teaser trailer on their website, which ends with the time and date of 19:30 13th September 2011. This could mean many things but I guess we’ll have to wait until Tuesday to find out. (Via Under The Radar)

Despite not having released anything since 2005, Garbage are back with a new album that will be released in 2012. They’ve been working on the 24-track album since 2010 and will be dropping their first single soon. Lead singer Shirley Manson seems pretty confident about it: “When I say we are making the best collection of songs of our career I think I am being honest.” (Via NME)

This weekend the Bestival festival is going down in England and NME had a chat with Friendly Fires about their upcoming work.

Skream and Benga are two of the most prominent dubstep producers and DJs and they’re only 25! They’re setting out on a short tour in October and visiting some Canadian cities, including Toronto, Calgary, and Edmonton. (Via Exclaim)
