Phoenix has risen from the ashes! They never burned out, but I’m trying to use their name in a metaphor… so easy!

[ROCK] The Strokes – “One Way Trigger”
Don’t call it the year of the comebacks. Wait, no, you actually can call it the year of the comebacks; with revivals coming from Destiny’s Child, David Bowie, Black Sabbath and now The Strokes with the release of their brand new single “One Way Trigger.” A synth driven track coupled with some high end falsetto vocals finds the New York rock band in somewhat newer territory that a lot of fans have not responded too positively...

UK group Disclosure has just dropped a phenomenally crafted piece of future garage with “White Noise” featuring the vocals of Aluna Francis from future-pop group AlunaGeorge.
