Paramore released the song "Monster" earlier this year. The band promises to share three more new songs over as many months if you join the Paramore Singles Club. You can hear "Renegade" now, with more to follow on the first Mondays of November and December. A statement from the band reads, "We really wanted to do something special for all of you around the holidays to thank you for making 2011 so amazing and sticking with us as we go into 2012 and start working on the new album."

The Black Keysshared more info about their new album El Camino (out Dec. 6) on the heels of the funny viral video posted earlier this week, including the tracklist and when we'll hear the first single. They also welcome back retro-rock-friendly producer Danger Mouse who helmed their 2008 album Attack & Release (remember "Strange Times"?) before their mainstream breakthrough in 2010 with Brothers.

Vans Warped Tour 2012 announced dates and cities. Tampa, FL is listed Sunday July 29. Traditionally Warped hits Vinoy Park, which is actually in St. Petersburg.

Phoenix will eventually follow-up their breakthrough 2009 album Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix. In the meantime, there's a documentary about the band called From A Mess To The Masses. Check out the trailer here.

Red Hot Chili Peppers ex-guitarist John Frusciante takes it on the chin at #7 with "Californication." on MusicRadar's list of "10 terrible solos by great guitarists."

33 years ago today, former Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious was arrested for the murder of his girlfriend Nancy Spungen. The story became a somewhat famous film thanks to the 1986 biopic Sid & Nancy starring a young Gary Oldman.
