The Chemical Brothers will release their fifth studio album, Push the Button, on January 25th. The record's first single -- due January 18th -- is titled "Galvanize," featuring vocals by rapper Q-Tip.

The duo -- Ed Simon and Tom Rowlands -- became the first breakout of the electronica movement a decade ago with their 1995 dance rock debut, Exit Planet Dust. Since then, Simon and Rowlands have spawned blockbuster dance hits like "Setting Sun" and "Block Rockin' Beats," creating a signature of dance, rock, techno and hip-hop accessible well beyond Euro electronica circles. They've collaborated with artists as diverse as folkie Beth Orton, Oasis' Noel Gallagher, former Verve singer Richard Ashcroft and Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne. Last fall, the Brothers released the career-spanning compilation Singles 93-03.

The Chemical Brothers just finished a tour of South America. They will play a New Year's Eve show in London before heading to Australia.

“Is It True”

Brenda Lee | 1964

As the British Invasion reached its peak in 1964, Brenda Lee went from Nashville to London to record one of her hardest-rocking hits, her perky vocal backed by a stuttering, squalling guitar. That guitar was played by session musician Jimmy Page, yet to skyrocket to fame with first the Yardbirds and then Led Zeppelin. "She said to me, 'I've come here to make a record with the British sound,'" remembered producer Mickie Most. "She felt she wouldn't get the same sound in Nashville because they're only just catching up on the British beat group sound of about six months ago."
