Music News: Tegan and Sara Back in the Studio
Good news for indie music fans, twin sister dynamic duo Tegan and Sara will be heading back into the studio to record their new album on February 20th. They’ve just finished writing their 41st song, although unfortunately they won’t be including all of them on the new record. Too bad, huh? We’d totally buy a 2-disc!
Tegan Quin stated on their official site, “The songs are sounding great and we’re nearly through the song selection process. AND we start recording February 20th! I have no idea how long it’s going to take to finish or when it will come out, but we’ll be updating you as we know things. We’ll be posting a lot while we are in the studio and keeping you up to speed on our antics and progress! So stay tuned and check back here often!”
Their last release was 2009’s Sainthood, which garnered rave reviews and was well-received by critics. Being the innovative artists they are, we’re more than sure Tegan and Sara will be making an excellent comeback.

Music News: Adam Lambert Joins Queen as Frontman For Summer Tour
In 2009, Queen guitarist Brian May said that the band was toying around with the idea of bringing on Adam Lambert as their permanent frontman. Now, Adam has officially confirmed that he’ll be joining Queen as their frontman for the band’s summer tour!
Here’s what he had to say about it: “The intention is to pay tribute to Freddie and the band by singing some f*cking great songs. It’s to keep the music alive for the fans and give it an energy that Freddie would have been proud of.”
The singer also addressed the fact that he is not trying to replace original band frontman, Freddie Mecury, saying, “After the EMAs, I heard faint little slithers of a backlash from people saying: ‘You can’t replace Freddie Mercury.’ But I already knew that. There’s no intention in my mind of replacing Freddie. That’s impossible. The way I’m choosing to view it is that it’s a great honor and one I’m in no way going to shirk…Being asked to front Queen is the best thing that can possibly happen.”
