The Social Distortion gang goes gangster in this new music video for ‘Machine Gun Blues,’ the lead-off single for the band’s 2011 album ‘Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes.’

The reunited Big Audio Dynamite will return to the U.S. this August and are moving forward with plans to reissue 1986’s ‘No. 10, Upping St.’ — possibly with unreleased material co-written by frontman Mick Jones and former Clash bandmate Joe Strummer.

It’s Robert Smith’s birthday today — he’s 52 — and to commemorate the occasion, we present this U.K. television performance from 1984 that finds The Cure playing a trio of songs from what’s now one of the band’s most overlooked records, ‘The Top.’

Twenty-five years ago today, Siouxsie and the Banshees released their seventh studio album, ‘Tinderbox,’ which spawned the band’s first 12-inch single in the U.S. — and its first significant club hit — with the classic ‘Cities in Dust.’

Yesterday we brought you Big Audio Dynamite’s full set at Coachella last weekend, and today, here’s Duran Duran’s complete hour-long performance — captured, once again, from the festival’s streaming video by the ever-reliable Audio Perv.

The Pet Shop Boys last week released their latest single ‘Together’ — the lone new song on last year’s U.K. best-of ‘Ultimate’ — in the U.S. for the first time digitally in a number of different configurations.

The playlist from Sunday night’s ‘Dark Wave’ on Sirius XM’s 1st Wave features tracks by The Chameleons, Ministry, Gary Numan, Nick Cave, Iggy and the Stooges, Love and Rockets, Shriekback and more.
