If a band had 4 different drummers on their latest album, you’d normally assume that these guys didn’t know what they’re doing. In the case of Jubilee [Official Site, Myspace], you’d be almost completely off-base, mostly because two of the major contributors to the recordings sessions were Trent Reznor and one Maynard James Keenan.

LIFE IS A GIANT DRAG (UPDATE)Our old pal Annie Hardy of our favorite shoegazey solo-act Giant Drag has been staying busy, what with recording her new Swan Song EP and all (by the way check out the new version of "Swan Song" up on the band's Myspace, it's absolutely haunting and gorgeous).

With a brutally addictive assault of rhythmic precision, gorgeous speed-freak riffs and iron-lunged vocals that rank among the very best hardcore has ever seen, The Bronx have become de facto narrators of life in Los Angeles- they are a product of the city, and the imprint is a key component of their sound.

Jubilee is the new band from Aaron North (ex-Nine Inch Nails / Icarus Line) and Michael Schumann (Queens of the Stone Age / Wires on Fire). Dig it.
