| Liars reveal new album details Liars have announced the details of their forthcoming album. 'Liars' -- the follow-up to 2006's 'Drums Not Dead' -- will hit Stateside on August 28, and in the UK on August 20. Frontman Angus Andrew said that the new album is a real turning point for the band. "I'd never felt like a songwriter 'til this album," said Andrew. "If you told me last year Liars would release a record like this, I would have laughed. If you said I'd be playing guitar solos, I'd have called you a liar. We never know what we're making 'til it's made... this time I'm a bit shocked." The tracklisting is: 'Plaster Casts Of Everything' 'Houseclouds' 'Leather Prowler' 'Sailing To Byzantium' 'What Would They Know' 'Cycle Time' 'Freak Out' 'Pure Unevil' 'Clear Island' 'The Dumb In The Rain' 'Protection' |

Rock stars immortalised in new ad campaign Kurt Cobain, Joe Strummer, Joey Ramone and Sid Vicious have been immortalised in a new advertising campaign. The late rock stars all appear as angels wearing Dr. Martens boots in heaven for a Saatchi & Saatchi poster/print campaign. "We wanted to communicate that Dr Martens boots are 'made to last' and we discovered that these idolised musicians wore them," explains writer Andrew Petch. "Showing them still wearing their Docs in heaven dramatised the boots' durability perfectly. And, as images, they feel very iconic." The images have been cleared for use in the UK only, in an arrangement with Corbis, supplier of the original photographs, which have been enhanced by photographer Dimitri Daniloff and retoucher Christophe Huet, reports The Daily Swarm. |
