The Up and Coming

by Donny Kutzbach

Arguably the most feted release of 2007 is the sophomore record from Arcade Fire, Neon Bible (Merge), which their label confirmed for release on March 6. The band recorded throughout 2006 in Quebec, New York, Budapest and London. In typically left-of-center fashion, Arcade Fire are previewing parts of the album for fans who dial the toll free number 1-866-NEON-BIBLE.

That first Tuesday in March has more in store. Much loved alt.country avatar Jay Farrar?s band Son Volt returns with The Search (Transmit Sound/Sony Legacy), which reportedly expands on the roaring guitars and pointed politics of 2005?s Okemah and the Melody of Riot. And?if you believe what W. Axl Rose says?Guns ?n? Roses? Chinese Democracy will hit shelves on that same March 6. Given the checkered history of the long-delayed Chinese Democracy, which has seen a tumultuous birthing of almost a decade and a half, the dissolution of the original core of G?n?R and missed street dates stretching back before the current millennium, we don?t count on it.

Also due in March is the latest from Modest Mouse, titled We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank (Epic)?mainman Isaac Brock reinvigorated with the addition of legendary Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr to MM?s ranks. The funky first track ?Dashboard? is being previewed on the band?s Myspace page.

I never read axl's letter that he said it would be out 100% out on march 6th , alot of people are getting hopes up  for nothing

Just more bad press. The music will speak for itself and blow everyone away.

Axls exact words were "this is not a promise nor a lie or a garentee but i would like to release a "tentative" release date of March 6th"

or somthing like that.

not for sure but "tentative"

[cody6977]

it is a tentative release date and if he would have said guaranteed, I still would consider it tentative....

Yep. He gave a tentative release date, and suddenly it's officially set in stone.

[liesin]

not all that suprising, tentative is the word.

Well at least if it's not released that day, I will not be totally let down. I've been looking forward to Son Volt and Arcade Fire  also.

I don't think that people are getting their hopes up *for nothing* - after all, tentative or not, this is the best - and most official news - we've gotten in a long, long time.
