Albert Hammond Jr - Far Away Truths

Albert Hammond Jr, also known as the lead guitarist of The Strokes released his fourth solo album, "Francis Trouble" this year.

Arctic Monkeys released their fifth studio album "AM" in 2013. After the release of their widely successful album, the band took a five-year hiatus.

The 1975 - Love It If We Made It

The 1975 returned with a killer single named "Love It If We Made It." The single demonstrates strong vocals from singer, Matty Healy and has a crazy story to it.
