After three years of loyal patience, ANDREW W.K. fans can finally experience the ‘lost’ third album from the established party rocker. Previously released in Japan and Korea in 2006, CLOSE CALLS WITH BRICK WALLS will officially become available in the United States on March 9th, 2010, being released by STEEV MIKE, as a special two album package (the original CLOSE CALLS WITH BRICK WALLS on one disc, and an additional CD called MOTHER OF MANKIND, containing rare and unreleased material). After the recent release of 55 CADILLAC - a compilation of improvised solo piano compositions - CLOSE CALLS WITH BRICK WALLS and MOTHER OF MANKIND deliver the slamming, inspirational music for which Andrew W.K. is loved, coupled with new sounds and feelings rarely associated with his traditional work.

One of our new favorite bands at Altitude has cracked our Top 5 Metal Countdown this week. Watch below to find out who as our own queen of sarcasm Liza Graves counts down this weeks top 5 Metal Videos on Altitude. Agree or disagree? Let your voice be heard by leaving a comment.
The line outside the Henry Fonda theater on Hollywood Bl Sunday night was the longest we’ve ever seen at the popular spot. The reason? RADIOHEAD stepped up to the plate to raise desperately needed funds for Haiti earthquake relief. In true Radiohead fashion, the band selected an alternative way to sell tickets and raise money for the event….. they auctioned off tickets online this past weekend. The top bidder forked out $4,000 for a single pair. Singer Thom Yorke announced to the capacity crowd that the show had raised $572,774 dollars for Haiti. Thats pretty incredible considering the venue only holds 1,300 ! The all-star audience included Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel, Flea, Drew Barrymore, Paul Thomas Anderson and Anna Paquin.
New York, NY – HATEBREED will headline the second stage of this year’s ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK MAYHEM FESTIVAL this summer which kicks off JULY 10 in San Bernardino, CA and runs through AUGUST 14th, hitting venues across the US.
Five Finger Death Punch also confirmed to us at NAMM that they will indeed be playing the main stage at this years Mayhem tour. Stay tuned for the full details on the headliners right here!!
