Justice to Release Civilization?

If you’re a fan of French dance duo Justice, you’ll know that the past three years (since they released ) have been filled with numerous rumors about new music. Now, though, it appears the follow-up to the group’s debut album is finally upon us. Via a new teaser video and Facebook account, it appears that Justice are gearing up to release a new album titled Civilization this year through Ed Banger Records. This news comes right on the heels of French creative design agency Surface To Air’s announcement that they created the artwork (included on the right) for Justice’s brand new single (posted on their website).

Check out the supposed trailer here. So is this all yet another fake rumor? At this point, things are still very unclear but only time will tell…

Foo Fighters Release Music Video for “Rope”

Foo Fighters have released a new music video for lead single “Rope”, taken from the band’s forthcoming seventh studio album Wasting Light. It’s vintage Foo Fighters, and with all of Dave Grohl’s recent comments about the band returning to its roots, the video is certainly quite fitting. You can watch below, courtesy of MTV.

Wasting Light is set for an April 12th release.
