The Pixies today followed up last week’s free release of a surprise new track with more revelations, namely that the band is about to embark on a “massive global tour” to debut material off its follow-up to 1991’s Trompe le Monde with The Muffs frontwoman Kim Shattuck replacing the departed Kim Deal.

This week’s new releases include reissues from Microdisney (‘Love Your Enemies,’ ‘The Clock Comes Down The Stairs’), New Model Army (a repackaged 2003 live set) and A Certain Ratio (I’d Like To See You Again’), plus new best-ofs from Visage and The Proclaimers.

Tonight’s edition of “Dark Wave” on Sirius XM’s 1st Wave featured music from My Bloody Valentine, Skinny Puppy, The Fatima Mansions, Death in June, New Order, Concrete Blonde, A Certain Ratio, Daniel Ash, My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult, The Sisters of Mercy, Kate Bush and much, much more.

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 posts about the passing of Devo’s Alan Myers, as well as the Pixies, Siouxsie and the Banshees, The Replacements, Nine Inch Nails, Morrissey, The Cult, Nitzer Ebb and more.

Two weeks after Siouxsie returned to the concert stage for the first time in five years, there’s even more good news for Banshees fans: Bassist Steven Severin on Friday revealed in a tweet that, “After a gap of nearly a decades, the Banshees are talking again… The feud is over.”

Two weeks after announcing the departure of bassist Kim Deal, the Pixies this morning surprised fans with the release of “Bagboy,” the band’s first new song since 2004 and one that sounds like may feature the backing vocals of the group’s now-former bassist. But it doesn’t.

Trent Reznor’s resurrected Nine Inch Nails this morning released the music video for comeback single “Came Back Haunted,” and not only is the clip directed by cinematic auteur David Lynch, it carries a warning that its strobe-like effects may cause seizures among viewers with epilepsy. So you’ve been warned.
