[Watch] Best Coast - "Storms" (Fleetwood Mac Cover) Live on Fallon

Earlier in the year we got to enjoy Best Coast performing a cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Storms" live at The Wiltern in LA. Last night they paid a visit to Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and put in a beautiful sounding rendition of the track once more but this time it wasn't at a small venue but for the masses watching at home. Thanks to The Audio Perv, if you missed it, you can watch it at the top of the page.

[News] Biffy Clyro Confirmed For iTunes Festival

As we eagerly await new material from those Scottish riff monsters Biffy Clyro, news has broke that they are to perform at iTunes Festival in London later this year. The festival will see a month full of free music take place in the capital across the month of September. Biffy will headline at Camden's Roundhouse on September 22nd with support coming from Frightened Rabbit.

Speaking about the event Simon Neil says: "We are so fucking excited to play the iTunes festival again. We had a killer time in 2010 and can't wait to rock it even harder this year. Fuck One Direction!"

No doubt that the event will see some new tracks being played as we've seen previously at their Milton Keynes Bowl show with Foo Fighters last year, and their more recent festival appearances including Isle of Wight. A tease of new music can be seen above.

[News] Mumford & Sons Detail Sophomore LP: 'Babel'

Mumford & Sons will return with their sophomore effort on September 25th, three years after the London outfit dropped their highly praised debut album Sigh No More. The album, now officially titled Babel, spans a total of twelve tracks, and was recorded over the span of a year and a half with the help of Sigh No More producer Markus Dravs. When speaking to Rolling Stone about the album, bassist Ted Dwane said "[t]he ingredients are very much the same: the four core instruments and a lack of a drummer, which can give it that strange, simple, unique sort of sound. I don’t think we were looking to be too crazy and experimental."

After the jump, you can take a look at the tracklisting for Babel, along with compiled live footage of eight of the album's ten tracks. Also included after the jump are the band's upcoming tour dates, including their planned Gentleman of the Road Stopovers, which kicks off on August 1st in Hoboken, NJ.

[Watch] Kendrick Lamar and Best Coast's Bethany Cosantino Perform "No Make-Up (Her Vice)"

During his performance in Portland on Wednesday night, Kendrick Lamar was joined onstage by a rather unlikely guest. Providing the chorus vocals on the song "No Make-Up (Her Vice)," originally sung by Colin Munroe and featured on last year's Section.80, was Best Coast's Bethany Cosantino. This was the first time Lamar has performed the song in a live setting, and the combination of him and Cosantino was surprisingly good. Watch the replay above.
