The Beatles Reunited

The Beatles, the world's biggest band ever, never reunited after their break up in 1970, however, during the following years, we saw some very happy collaboration between them. Over the years we say Ringo playing drums in a lot of George's albums, or Lennon giving some songs and participating on Starr's album.

Well, looks like there is going to be a new collaboration with the 2 remaing Beatles alive.

According to Ringo Starr official Twitter, Paul McCartney was with him in studio recording some bass lines to his next solo album.

They look good and happy on the shared photo. Good to see old mates still caring with each other.

Revolution Mode On Friday

This Friday, 3rd of February, Depeche Mode will release their new single called "Where's The Revolution".
Also, the upcoming album "Spirit" will come out on the 17th of March.
The single will be revealed with a videoclip. It's still unknown what kind of format will exist, for now, no physical edition was announced.
The new album was produced by James Ford, famous for his work with the Arctic Monkeys.
Listen below to a short teaser of the album.
The artwork was developed by long time contributor Anton Corbijn. Kinda reminds me a little bit the artwork during the Devotional era, with the legs and the flags.
