Following up last month’s debut of the 7-minute “Market Town,” Echo & The Bunnymen this morning offered up the second taste of their forthcoming new album Meteorites, premiering the string-swept track “Lovers on the Run” over at The Quietus. The album is out May 26 in the U.K. and June 3 in the U.S.

This week’s new releases include the first new studio album from The Afghan Whigs in 16 years, plus a box set of Dead Kennedys 7-inch singles, a live CD/DVD package from Billy Bragg, an anthology of Ski Patrol’s recorded output and a vinyl reissue of The Stone Roses’ legendary debut.

Tonight’s edition of “Dark Wave” on Sirius XM’s 1st Wave featured music from The Creatures, Death in June, Lowlife, Tubeway Army, The Mission, Lords of the New Church, Skinny Puppy, The Stranglers, Bigod 20, Chris & Cosey, Specimen, Danielle Dax and more.

Ten years ago, the Pixies used Coachella to formally launch their comeback, so it’s fitting the band returned to the festival this weekend as a very late addition, playing a 15-song, 50-minute set that featured old favorites and a handful of tracks that will be included on upcoming album Indie Cindy.

Welcome to the Week in Rock, where we round up all of the headlines posted on this site over the past week. This week featured news about the The The, New Order, Nirvana, The Replacements, Peter Murphy, The Afghan Whigs, The Cult, Butthole Surfers, The Smiths, R.E.M.’s Mike Mills and more.

The Cult took to the stage at the Coachella festival late into the evening on Friday, playing an 11-song, 50-minute set that drew on classics (“Love Removal Machine,” “Rain,” “Wild Flower,” “She Sells Sanctuary”) as well as newer material recorded in the last few years.

With the reunited Afghan Whigs set to release their first new album in 16 years on Tuesday, it’s no surprise they dedicated half of their 10-song, 40-minute set at Coachella on Friday to material from Do To The Beast. Below, you can see a rip of the full webcast of the Whigs’ performance.
