Noise-pop duo Sleigh Bells have announced their second album, Reign of Terror, with a new video in which the two strut around in a typically sexy, menacing manner to an extended riff from one of their new tunes. There is no word yet as to when the record will hit shops, but it will presumably be out within the next few months.

"Emotionally, it's a really heavy record," guitarist and producer Derek E. Miller told Rolling Stone about the new set back in May. "Even the early demos that we have now, a lot of the stuff that Derek has recorded, sounds more immense to me," said singer Alexis Krauss. "It sounds really huge, so there's going to still be tons of volume."

“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."
