Nobody would have believed it just a few weeks ago, many would have thought it impossible just a few days ago but rather incredibly Rage Against The Machine are the UK's official 2009 Christmas number one, with their iconic (and ironic?) track 'Killing In The Name' beating the X-Factor winner Joe McElderry to the festive number one spot.

Who would have thought it a few weeks ago that a 90's underground rock act would be competing for the UK 2009 Christmas Number One single? Thanks to an Internet campaign on social networking site facebook, which has snowballed in recent weeks to capture the imagination of the nation, it could soon be a reality.

What's more the band have now announced there will be a huge FREE concert to take place next year in the UK to celebrate if they claim victory over the X-Factor winners song. 'Killing In The Name' is currently just 5,000 sales ahead of the X-Factor winners track, with Saturday sales being crucial on the busiest shopping day of the year.

If the unprecedented grassroots movement to topple the X-Factor monopoly is successful in making RATM number one this Sunday, the band will return to UK shores sometime in 2010 for a massive "thank you" gig and Rage Against The Machine have vowed to invite the X-Factor empressario Simon Cowell, to MC the show!

The band were once famously censored on American comedy institution Saturday Night Live and they also once stood naked onstage after being denied their right to self expression at a US festival.

Alesana have got to where they are on a wave of word of mouth and Internet promotions. They’re a cult screamo band from North Carolina and not, as the name might make you think, a lovely quirky songstress emoting about daffodils and difficult relationships. If you think that, you might be in for a shock and/or a coronary at one of their gigs. Click Here to Compare & Buy Alesana Tickets

Fans of the Red Hot Chili Peppers will be left stunned today, after reports have emerged that guitarist John Frusciate has quit the band.

The guitar wizard, Frusciate, has been a key man in creating some of the Red Hot Chili Peppers greatest songs, songs that are capable of shifting from funk to metal effortlessly within the blink of an eye. The musician lifted the group to greater heights and played an essential role in what many call, the bands greatest album, the much loved ‘Blood Sugar Sex Magik’. However soon after the release of the album Fruciante departed to battle heroin addiction. Later, reuniting with the group having beaten the drugs, the Chilis enjoyed another huge rise in popularity.

It’s not everyday you get members of legendary bands such as Led Zeppelin, Foo Fighters and Queens Of The Stone Age altogether on one stage. The excited atmosphere churned up by such an event was striking and being that this was the first night of a six date tour of the UK, it made things even more special. Supergroup Them Crooked Vultures had landed in Plymouth!

James Morrison wasn’t caught earlier this year running around Epping Forest wearing only a strategically-placed oak leaf, smeared in lemon curd and interfering with nature. This, and some musical talent, perfectly qualifies him for his latest challenge: performing in a wood.

They made beautiful music together at Madison Square Gardens. It was a collaboration so astoundingly gravy that they got nominated for not one, not three, but two Grammys, which is pretty bloody good. Now, rocking sexagenarians Steve Winwood and Eric Clapton have announced they’re giving their relationship another go with a jaunt around Europe.

Snow Patrol would be a great title for an action/adventure show starring David Hasslehoff or Chuck Norris or, dare I say it, both. Until the media powers that be make it though, it'll be best known as a top Indie Rock band's second choice of title. Their first was 'Polar Bear'. See? They didn't even want it!
