Whaddup world?! Thanks for dropping by to check out the first installment of Want It Sonic! We're basically here to share with you all the good vibrations rolling through the underground and beyond. Obviously there is a whole wide world of music out there to report on, but hopefully we can get some support and contributions from readers in order to expand and better bring that world to you. If you have pictures of a show or festival that you went to or partied with a rockstar (or like a rockstar for that matter), Want It Sonic wants to hear about it. Feel free to drop me a line if you have any ideas for improvement, if you want to show some love, or even if you would like to pitch in some efforts to help make Want It Sonic the best it can be. Thanks again, and remember to always Want It Sonic.
Word on the Street:
Just thought I would kick up the level of anitcipation in the world with some fresh scoop on a couple of new releases in the works; after all, what kind of a first post would this be if I couldn't bring something fresh to the table?
Interpol
Despite the release of a solo-effort from frontman Paul Banks (under the name Julian Plenti), according to Spin Magazine citing the bands web post, Interpol are said to be back in the studio to record their fourth full length effort.
"We feel like a new band. We are rehearsing new
So far there hasn't been any info released regarding the albums title or when we can plan on seeing it in stores, but the post did give insight on the sound and mindset of the band who's last album was 2007's Our Love to Admire.
"Without going into too much detail, the songs sound vital. It's as though we've hit upon a balance between our urgency and our calm. And true to our better work

Broken Social Scene
Also working on their fourth full length release is the Toronto-based Broken Social Scene. According to the bands website, they are currently working in Chicago with post-rock producerJohn McEntire (who has also worked with Tortoise , the Sea and Cake).
According to guitarist, Kevin Drew via web posting, "I can't tell you what this record will sound like, who from the other great bands will be involved, but I can tell you it feels amazing to be in Chicago recording."

REM
90's Alternative legends, REM's guitarist Peter Buck and bassist Mike Mills are in Oregon recording with Tucker Martine (who produced the Decemberists’ Hazards of Love) laying down the bare bones to 14 tracks that "may or not may not appear" on their newest effort since last years Accelerate.
Buck and Mills are in the studio creating demos in hope of coercing frontman, Michael Stipe into joining them in recording.
“This record, I want it to be broader; I think Michael [Stipe] is into that. So there are some really pretty acoustic things, some really total noisy rock, and some kind of poppy stuff. It runs the gamut,” said Buck.
While Tucker Martine is helping record the demos for Stipe, Producer, Jackknife Lee will be back at the helm for the rest of the LP's recording.

Radiohead
Ladies and Gentlemen: Start salivating. After completing their most recent world tour in March, Radiohead have returned to the studio to start working on a full length follow up to 2007s music-biz-revolutionizing In Rainbows. Interviews with bassis Colin Greenwood by BBC's 6 Music were released merely days after news was dropped about Radiohead's management encouraging the band to "break-up" before In Rainbows' release.
Greenwood explained to 6 Music the bands recording progress with longtime producern Nigel Godrich by saying, “It’s at the stage where we’ve got the big Lego box out and we’ve tipped it out on the floor and we’re just looking at all the bits and thinking ‘What’s next?’ I’m very impressed and grateful for Nigel our producer and his ability to make it all sound vaguely plausible.”
Despite avoiding going into specifics, according to Rolling Stone Magazine, one of the tracks that may get a cut on the future full length is “Super Collider,” which the Oxford band premiered during their last tour.
