Nashville’s two-man stoner pop crew JEFF The Brotherhood are making their way back up to Canada. The duo will play a number of shows with Quinton & Miss Pussycat, including Montreal on June 18th and Toronto the following night. They’ll then head to Vancouver in September for a solo show on the 9th. Check out their latest album Heavy Days - it rules.

Interpol have revealed they have a new logo! It’s not really exciting, but they’re also giving away a brand new track called “Lights,” which may or may not be on their forthcoming album. Grab it here. The band also wrote a quick note, saying: “”We will be posting important information and dates in the coming weeks.”

Bloc Party’s Kele Okereke has revealed the first single from his forthcoming solo album. The track is called “Tenderoni” (like the Chromeo track) and it’s definitely a big change in direction. Check it out here.

The beach pop Spaniards in Delorean are selling their new album as a T-shirt. Well, for the price of $20 you get the shirt and an MP3 version of their album Subiza. Visit the Matador Records store to get your copy. The band will be hitting up Canada in June and July: Vancouver on June 7th, Montreal on July 13th and Toronto on the 14th.

Love Woodhands? Sure you do. Well, Paper Bag Records is giving away a free remix EP. Titled Remixcapade (get it?), the six-track EP features Mathemagic, Diamond Rings and Woodhands’ own Dan Werb, among others remixing tracks from the band’s recent album, Remorsecapade. Download it here.

Who says the Olympics is all about sports? Broken Social Scene, Wilco, Iron & Wine, Sun Kil Moon, Stars and more will all perform out in Vancouver some time between February 12th and 28th.

Toronto’s Woodhands have a new album coming out in the New Year. The bizarrely titled Remorsecapade will see a release on January 26th, but the duo will be touring with Junior Boys in October and November.

Editors have hacked into Google Street View to present a unique way of listening to the album: through various stops in the city of London, which inspired the music.

Sex Pistols are looking to sue over an ad by a British ice cream company that has come up with the slogan “God save the cream” – not because they also have an absinthe-based ice cream cocktail called “Sex Pistol.” Right…
