The Hives - Wait a minute (live on Jimmy Kimmel)
The Hives perform live on Jimmy Kimmel. Can't say that I'm all that into the new material I've heard, but they are always worth seeing in concert.
Storm Corrosion - Drag ropes (video)
Storm Corrosion is the duo of Mikael Åkerfeldt (Opeth) and Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree). I suspect that their indulgent prog will not appeal to everyone, but the animation and artwork in this video is killer.
New Cookies 'n Beans album in May
Okay, so this clip has nothing to do with the new Cookies 'n Beans album "Go tell the world" which will be out on May 2, but I figured that any excuse to post this Kristofer Åström-penned number is worthwhile. Lead single "Tomorrow's such a long time away" is out now and can be found via Spotify in Sweden but not in the US.

Crucifix in a Death Hand - Do androids play electric guitars?
Here's yet another thing I meant to post about ages ago and was only just reminded of: Tonight I am going to see In Solitude/The Devil's Blood/Watain in Seattle. Guitarist Henrik Palm currently plays with In Solitude and also (used to?) front Sonic Ritual. Sonic Ritual also features guitarist Linnéa Olsson whose new band is Crucifix in a Death Hand, together with Janne Jarvis (ex-Warrior Soul, Hate Gallery). "Do androids play electric guitars?" is the band's debut 3-song EP and it's a great example of heavy, hook-laden rock'n'roll. It's also now available for free download via Bandcamp, so hook it up! And to add an extra layer of spooky coincidence, I also just happened to sell my last distro copy of Sonic Ritual's debut 7" via Discogs as I was doing this writeup. Perhaps I need to talk up my dead stock more often?
