MUSIC NEWS - Fifty Shades Of Green Day

Madness - Death Of A Rude Boy
Last week I told you about the upcoming album from the band Madness, and that they'd be releasing one of their songs to download for free. The song is now available and is called Death Of A Rude Boy. Anybody worried that Madness may have tried something a bit more modern need not worry, the song is drenched in scar and sits on the bands iconic reggae beat.
To download the song, click here.

Line-Up For iTunes Festival
Information is gradually coming to light about who will be playing at this years iTunes Festival. All headlining acts have now been confirmed, but we are still waiting for the names of some supporting acts.
For the full line-up, which we will update as soon as we get new information, click here.

Green Day Release Oh Love Video
It's been a while since we last heard about Green Day's upcoming trilogy of albums, but they have stepped back into the headlines with the release of this music video for there single Oh Love, which is from the first album ¡Uno!. Compared to the stuff of Green Day's most recent albums, I find Oh Love pretty dull. Nothing really happens, unlike the anthems of American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown. Here's the new video. WARNING: Features blurred nudity...

Not alot of news this week, let me know in the comments if I've missed something. Check back soon for a review of Labrinth's Electronic Earth.
