Brent Hinds of Mastodon has 2 side projects!

The Mastodon singer/guitar player has 2 side projects on the go and both will be released as a double cd set June 7th. No word on a vinyl pressing yet. Both these projects are pretty big departures from the math metal that is Mastodon but they are each great in their own ways... check'em out:

Fiend Without a Face - "Black Grass"
The rockabily act



West End Motel - "Under My Skin"
The almost classic rock act

Pearl Jam front man chills out with his ukelele

Eddie Vedder has release his first video from his upcoming solo album "Ukelele Songs," due out May 31 and as the title suggests the entire album will be him rockin' the ukelele. The first single from this collection, "Longing to Belong" finds Eddie in a pretty chilled out mood, not too much different that his first solo effort the soundtrack to Sean Penn's fantastic "Into the Wild." Check it out:

The Organ - Brother

These ladies may have broken up in 2006 after only putting out a single full length album, but damn their one very Smithy album was great. They got a big break after being on Showcase's "The L Word" but broke up shortly after gaining some success. Check out their video for "Brother" below:

Those Darlins

I know I haven't posted in a while...again... but I had to post this fantastic video for Those Darlins "Be Your Bro," from there latest album "Screw Get Loose." Keep your eyes on these ladies (and guy)I think they are about to get a lot bigger. Enjoy:
