Updates From Across The Pond

There's some good news today for fans of both Coldplay and Muse.

Looks like Coldplay is wrapping up finishing touches on their fourth untitled as-of-yet album. Set for an early summer release (May 19), it's being described by the band as "the most productive and rewarding experience they've ever had in the studio." As of now, it looks to be quite a progression for the band. Chris Martin and the guys began working on the album back in November 2006, with production help from Brian Eno and, rumors have it, man-of-the-hour Timbaland lending a hand. A North American and European tour are planned to follow in the summer.

The guys in Muse are getting ready to unleash a new live CD/DVD, entitled HAARP, on April 1. The performance was filmed during the trio's sold-out show at Wembley Stadium last summer. Encompassing their signature stage presence, which includes soaring melodies and grandiose instrumentations, this should be one to experience.
Tracks include: Knights of Cydonia / Hysteria / Supermassive Black Hole / Map of the Problematiqué / Butterflies and Hurricanes / Hoodoo / Apocalypse Please / Feeling Good / Invincible / Starlight / Time Is Running Out / New Born / Soldiers Poem / Unintended / Blackout / Plug In Baby / Stockholm Syndrome / Take a Bow

Cheers!
