The Black Keys begin recording new album

The Black Keys have had a busy year following the release of El Camino and their current tour, however according to drummer Patrick Carney that won't stop the band from starting to record the new album this month. The drummer said in an interview with Rolling Stone, "We don’t know when we’ll be done but we’re starting it in July. We might not finish it until March since we have to tour so much, but we’ll see. We don’t know what’s going on. After July, we’ll be able to know how long it’ll take.”
There is still no word however as to whether producer Danger Mouse will be joining the band in the studio.

The Black Keys- Song of the Week

I've been a fan of the alt-blues rockers, The Black Keys since I first heard their 2010 record Brothers. The album was full of fun and intelligent rock tunes such as lead singles, Tighten Up and Howlin' For You. So naturally I was incredibly excited when I found out that they had released their new album, El Camino, earlier this week. I had heard lead single, lonely boy, a couple of weeks ago but hadn't seen the video. Of course I should have known it would be fantastic and funny, The Black Keys are well known for their humour, however this video for Lonely Boy is so simple and yet it has had me in stitches. The video has gone viral thanks to the dancing of security guard Derrick T. Tuggle. Why not have a little boogie to the song yourself?
