"Orchestra of Wolves (Bonus Tracks)" by Gallows

The temptation to write off a "punk" band without even hearing them these days can be pretty powerful. Most are angsty pseudo-pop bands, probably whining about girls, parents and how hard it is to be famous. However, such is not the case for Gallows on their debut, Orchestra of Wolves. Given a chance, it becomes a little clearer why a band that isn't even that interested in being a band (singer Frank Carter has said that they won't last past 2009) is getting such ravenous attention. The notion that Gallows are a punk band is really more aesthetic than anything else—they have the look and the anger down. The music though, like punk rock of the late '70s and early '80s, is so heavily informed by metal that they split the difference right down the middle. About half the tracks on Wolves, especially "Just Because You Sleep Next to Me..." and "Black Heart Queen," would no doubt be heavy metal songs if the lads from Watford, England were a few years older and had

Pop Life: Special Live Earth Edition

How much of the ozone layer would you give up to never hear Billy Corgan sing again? Wouldn’t you sacrifice a polar icecap or two? It’s a tough question, but these are tough times, and Live Earth proved we need to combat global warming, because Enrique Iglesias would never lie about a thing like that. The whole day was full of TV mindfucks: Pauly Shore going onstage in Johannesberg to introduce Baaba Maal? Kanye West rapping, “Sting, you the only Police good in the hood”? Madonna teaming up with gypsy-punk madmen Gogol Bordello to do “La Isla Bonita”? Madonna’s new theme song “Hey You” was unfortunately not a rewritten Pink Floyd song (“hey you, drivin’ SUVs / Dumping toxins in the breeze, can you hear me?”) But Roger Waters did show up to sing “Another Brick in the Wall,” yet skipped the temptation to have his confused-looking children’s choir chant, “We don’t need no carbon emissions.” In terms of music, Live Earth was short on the two things that usually make superstar benefit concerts fun: strange duets and dead-band reunions. They could have used some more heavy hitters. The best duet, as everybody agreed, was Keith Urban and Alicia Keys doing “Gimme Shelter”; the best reunion was Japanese electro-prog pioneers Yellow Magic Orchestra, who inexplicably (yet excellently) got the final ten minutes of NBC’s highlight special to themselves, playing the Kyoto Temple. Some of the music bits were fun (Snoop, Lenny Kravitz, Beastie Boys), others weren’t (Melissa Etheridge). Duran Duran? They were GREAT. So where was Andy Taylor? No matter: I loved it when Simon Le Bon told the crowd, “Just coming here is not enough to get what’s got to be done, done…BUT…If we all sing…We might just make a stand, right here!” And the song he picked to save the planet with? “Girls On Film.” Simon, you have answered the call of awesome. Metallica wheezed amiably through “Enter Sandman,” with James Hetfield’s beard providing much-needed comic relief, as did his huff-and-puff ad libs at the
