After years of legal to-ing and fro-ing between the estate of late frontman Kurt Cobain and the remaining members of Nirvana (bassist Krist Novoselic and drummer Dave Grohl) it seems that the band's classic 1992 performance at the Reading festival will finally see the light of day. The set was the band's last performance in the UK - Cobain was found dead on April 5, 1994; the day the band were due to play Dublin - and will be released on May 4 on DVD under the moniker of Life Takes No Prisoners.

Green Day to record power pop album

Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong has hinted that the follow-up to their multi-million selling 2004 release American Idiot could be a power-pop album. "I really like fucking with arrangements and I always try to look at the possibilities of how you write power-pop music," Armstrong told US magazine Alternative Press. "You know, it's like, how do you take something and try to expand on the idea of what is supposed to be three-chord mayhem? I'm pushing myself to be progressive in songwriting and being a songwriter." The band are currently holed up in a Los Angeles studio with producer Butch Vig (Nirvana, Garbage, Against Me!). Armstrong revealed that the songwriting is proving to be a "painstaking process". "I'm allowing time for the process to happen naturally without having to force it," Armstrong told AP. "That is a painstaking process, let me tell you! For a bunch of guys that are ADHD [Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder], it's hard to have patience!" The as-yet-untitled album will be released next summer.
