Broken Social Scene, Band of Horses, Drive-By Truckers Bring Big Guitar Rock to SXSW

Photograph by Tony LandaNight two of the SXSW Music Festival featured a trio of big guitar bands with new lineups, playing new — in some cases not even completed — albums. The pressure was on to strike a balance between satiating fans with classics and testing new material without trying their patience. More SXSW day two guitar rock: full report on Stone Temple Pilots’ set. The Southern rock band Drive-By Truckers — now without its third singer-songwriter, Jason Isbell — proved the worth of thei

Hype Monitor: Amazing Baby (With “Bayonets” Download), France Has the Bomb and P.O.S.

The Band: Amazing Baby The Buzz: Witness the reinvention of glam rock: sighed vocals, sizzling riffs and sky-high choruses, all delivered with the perfect amount of prissiness. Listen If: You’ve seen Velvet Goldmine more than twice, or always wished Marc Bolan sang for Roxy Music. Key Track: “Bayonets,” where disco strings get tangled up in rock guitars to sublime results. Download it for free right here: • “Bayonets” [right click and select “save as”] The Band: France Has the Bomb The Buzz: The new sound of Minneapolis! Rocketing tempos, right-angle guitars and ragged-throated vocals. Listen If: What matters to you is the melody, not the fidelity. Key Track: “Grim Trigger,” which strolls along on a dapper bassline and contains all the fine pout of early ’90s emo — the good kind. The Artist: P.O.S. The Buzz: The other new sound of Minneapolis! Speed-of-light rhyming runs wild over fantastically dusky production, pulling the classic sound of hip-hop forcefully into the future. Listen If: Your biggest problem with Das EFX and Bone Thugs N Harmony is that they don’t rhyme fast enough. Key Track: Explosive first single “Drumroll,” where P.O.S. narrates the apocalypse over a beat that sounds like 400 horses having seizures.

New Reviews: The BPA, The Von Bondies and Ben Kweller

It’s Tuesday, which means a fresh batch of albums at your local music store and new Rolling Stone record reviews ready to be read. This week’s new releases include the BPA’s I Think We’re Gonna Need a Bigger Boat, the brainchild of British DJ Norman Cook (you may known him as Fatboy Slim). Recorded with a variety of singers who stopped by Cook’s house for late-night sessions, the album features “tweaked-up period pieces from Sixties ska to Eighties R&B.” David Byrne, Dizzee Rascal, Iggy Pop and a handful of up-and-coming British singer-songwriters guest on the disc, which is anchored by highlight “Toe Jam.” Fatboy Slim recently discussed the Brighton Port Authority with Rolling Stone, calling it “Sort of like the Traveling Wilburys but good.” The Von Bondies also return after a long hiatus with Love, Hate and Then There’s You, the band’s first LP since 2004’s Pawn Shoppe Heart. In his review Christian Hoard describes Love, Hate as “an album that’s pop-friendly but raucous enough to park in a Motor City garage,” thanks to tracks like “She’s Dead to Me” and the Cheap Trick-ish “21st Birthday.” Ben Kweller also gets down with his Texas roots on his new country-tinged album Changing Horses. In his three-star review of the album, Will Hermes write that “Sawdust Man” is “a roadhouse blues with a chorus (’I'm on top of the Greyhound station/Won’t you pleeeeeease come home’) that sounds like Harry Nilsson and John Lennon on a bender circa Pussy Cats.” For more on Kweller, the Fray and many more of the week’s best releases, check below: • The BPA - I Think We’re Gonna Need A Bigger Boat • The Von Bondies - Love, Hate and Then There’s You • Ben Kweller  - Changing Horses • Dierks Bentley - Feel That Fire • The Fray - The Fray • The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - Lonely Road • Trouble Andrew - Trouble Andrew • The Bad Plus - For All I Care

Tom Petty Blows Through Hits and Deep Cuts at MSG

Early on in Tom Petty’s sold-out Madison Square Garden gig he uttered words rarely heard at his shows: “You probably don’t know this next one.” The band then launched into the super obscure 1999 Europe-only B side “Sweet William.” The bluesy, organ-heavy number was a clear indication this wasn’t going to be the typical nothing-but-the-hits Petty show he’s done on recent tours. With no new album to support, Petty was free to drag out the gems. This doesn’t mean he avoided his massive arsenal of hits. The show began with a 1-2-3-4-5 punch of “You Wreck Me,” “Last Dance With Mary Jane,” “I Won’t Back Down,” “Even The Losers” and “Free Falling.” Nearly anyone else would save a song like the latter — which is so taylor made for arenas even the beer guys and ushers were singing along — but Petty has such a huge stable of war horses he could bust it out early with no problem. Rarities soon followed, such as the Traveling Wilburys’ “End Of The Line,” which featured a few Heartbreakers subbing in for Petty’s absent bandmates and the Full Moon Fever track “A Face In The Crowd.” Opening act Steve Winwood — who last played The Garden a few months ago during his reunion shows with Eric Clapton — came out midway through Petty’s set and lead the Heartbreakers on killer versions of Blind Faith’s “Can’t Find My Way Home” and the Spencer Davis Group’s “Gimme Some Loving,” which featured blazing organ work by Winwood. Around this point it became abundantly clear that the Heartbreakers are one of the greatest backing bands out there. Any song is immeasurably enhanced by their playing, particularly guitarist Mike Campbell and keyboardist Benmont Tench. It’s no wonder they get so much session work when Petty is off the road. The night wrapped up with the h
