What do you get if you take the bassist from Led Zeppelin, the guitarist from the Queens of the Stone Age and the drummer from Nirvana and stick them in a room together? Them Crooked Vultures is the most anticipated super group this year. The idea was originally hinted at in an interview with Dave Grohl in 2005. The band has been sporadically touring since August and there self-titled debut album is due out later this month (16 November). If the first single and other leaked videos are anything to go by, Them Crooked Vultures are going to go viral.

Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello and the Bay Area's Boots Riley from the radical hip-hop crew the Coup have teamed up to create the funkadelic politically-charged rap metal band Street Sweeper Social Club . The band took their super cool guitar riffs and sick rhymes on tour with Jane's Addiction and bad boys Nine Inch Nails, and now they've released their self-titled debut album. Totally funky and bad ass!

The unique Grammy award winning act of the Mars Volta have been creating experimental chaos with technical brilliance since 2001. The Mars Volta's previous albums have contained masses of energy and have always been a twisted adventure into a new direction.

The lead singer said after the last album that the next one would be acoustic. Octahedron isn't quite acoustic, although it is the Mars Volta's quietest and calmest album yet. It has been described as experimentation with mellowness and restraint.

Celebrate the new cool mutation and get the new album - Octahedron - out Tuesday.

There is nothing better than free music, especially hot unreleased stuff from Jane's Addiction, Nine Inch Nails & Street Sweeper. The NIN/JA 2009 Tour Sampler is a cool EP available free from these awesome bands. This includes tracks from Street Sweeper who are the brand new rap rock super group featuring Tom Morello and Boots Riley.

This disc will undoubtedly be the first hot record of the new year. Merriweather Post Pavillion is the latest full-length studio album from Animal Collective - the intriguing and avant-garde experimental music group out of the States. The new record is an amplification of all the traits that have defined the band's style in previous albums, but it is far more accessible to newcomers. If you are ready for an adventure into the Animal Collective's strange little world, get the new album on LP, digital or CD.
