Listen: Faith No More – “Motherfucker”

Leave it to Faith No More to return with their first new music since 1998 and go with a name like “Motherfucker” for their lead single. Bassist Bill Gould will be producing the record himself which will be recorded in the band's Oakland rehearsal space and released on their own imprint, Reclamation Records.

“Motherfucker” is a song about accountability so the band’s approach of handling the record internally hits the nail on the head, as does the soaring chorus of motherfucker being repeated in a radiant manner by lead singer Mike Patton.

"Motherfucker" will be released as a seven-inch single on Record Store Day Black Friday, November 28. The record, limited to 5,000 copies, will feature a B-side remix of the track courtesy of  J.G. Thirlwell

Video: Tomahawk - "South Paw"

Tomahawk are back with a new Vincent Forcier music video for Oddfellows tune “South Paw.” The clip see’s the band member’s transformed into puppets, something that I’m kind of surprised Mike Patton and crew haven’t done before as it fits the bands sense of humor to a T.

The video for "Oddfellows" complements Tomahawk’s sound perfectly, directed by Vincent Forcier, we get some fun-house styled animation in the form of demented cartoon sketches of ghouls and demons superimposed on top of distorted black and white performance footage of the band. 

Listen: Tomahawk - "Oddfellows"

We have already shared the stream and video for “Stone Letter” from super group Tomahawk, the musical project consisting of Duane Dennison, Trevor Dunn, Mike Patton and JohnStanier and today we got a stream of the title track from their forthcoming LP, Oddfellows. Likening this song even more than “Stone Letter", some great riffs from Duane has got me excited for more.

Almost two months ago we heard our first new material from super group Tomahawk, the musical project consisting of Duane Dennison (The Jesus Lizard,Unsemble), Trevor Dunn (Fantomas, Melvins Lite), Mike Patton (Faith No More, Mondo Cane) and John Stanier (Battles, Helmet). The song was “Stone letter”, the lead single from the bands forth LP, due out shortly and entitled Oddfellows, and we now have a set of visuals to go along with it that is composed of live footage from various performances.

Listen: Tomahawk – “Stone Letter”

It’s been about six years since we have heard any new material from super group Tomahawk, the musical project consisting of Duane Dennison (The Jesus Lizard, Unsemble), Trevor Dunn (Fantomas, Melvins Lite), Mike Patton (Faith No More, Mondo Cane) and John Stanier (Battles, Helmet). The band recently announced the release of a fourth LP, titled Oddfellows. Now, we have a first taste of what the record will sound like, via brand new track “Stone Letter” as well as a short album preview below via youtube. The new album was described as a “full-on rock album” by Duane Dennison, who told Rolling Stone: “There’s no quirky weirdness – it’s very straightforward for us.  There’s almost like this weird, upbeat sound, what I call ‘heavy pop,” and Patton totally got the vibe right away… really heavy Beach Boys.”

Video: Is This A New Faith No More Song?

Faith No More have been touring the world for the last year and a half or so playing to eager fans that never caught them the first time around as well as those seasoned show going veterans from the 90’s when the band was releasing albums. The boys performed in Buenos Aires, Argentina last night, and during the set dropped the below unrecognizable song. Could this be a new Faith No More song? Could all this touring have sparked the creative juices and set stage for a new album? Time will tell for sure but in the mean time we will have to speculate, enjoy the mystery track as well as an entire set from Download Fest 2009.
