While HAIM's debut album is showing up high on year-end lists across the land, I can think of at least one person who isn't a fan of the sister trio. Johnny Marr bashed the band behind "The Wire" in his recent column for NME. Read More »
I'm not sure if we at Mstars can keep up if Haim shows continue to be this incredible. The last we heard from the sister trio they were rallying their fans in an impassioned "eff you" to the lead singer of Los Campesinos! Now they have none other than living goddess and occasional singer Florence Welch of Florence + The Machine crowdsurfing at their London gig. Read More »
Twitter beef is often the realm of high-profile divas and rap stars. However, let it never be said that indie bands and rock groups can't get in on the act. Sister trio Haim and indie-poppers Los Campesinos! exchanged barbs over the social media site on December 8, as they were due to play concerts across the street from each other. Read More »
If you tried to project the people to have a banner year in 2013, I doubt anyone would have picked Italian disco pioneer Giorgio Moroder. The superproducer kicked off the year with a high-profile collaboration/ history lesson with Daft Punk on their Random Access Memories track "Giorgio By Moroder." Since then, Moroder has been tapped by Google for original music, took part in a Diana Ross remix album and begun work on a collaboration with Chic's Nile Rodgers. Read More »
This week's episode of Saturday Night Live was just another great example of how good this season is. Host Josh Hutcherson was a surprising choice, but ultimately an incredible performer.

There's nothing better in this world that a little bit of psychological horror, blood and indie rock! The artists and songs for the soundtrack to the upcoming horror film "Carrie" have been announced, and the 12-song album is full of the best of indie music today. Read More »
Justin Timberlake may be one of the biggest names in music, but that didn't help him carry the No. 1 album in the United Kingdom. In the same week that the second part of his "The 20/20 Experience" record dropped, indie pop newcomers Haim's first album "Days Are Gone" debuted, and the sisterly trio bested Timberlake in the UK.

Haim's slow march toward world domination continues with this Twin Shadow collaboration. "Edge" comes from the UK Deluxe Edition of the sisterly trio's fantastic debut Days Are Gone and, like all of the songs we've heard so far from Haim- seems to be both an homage to many past eras and ridiculously new. It's like a one-off between Stevie Nicks and Doc Brown (and if you don't think that's the tightest sh*t ever, you need to get out of my face). Read More »
VH1 will celebrate the best of artists on the rise in November with a concert in New York City. On Nov. 11, Lorde, Ed Sheeran, The Lumineers and more will take over New York's Roseland Ballroom for VH1's "You Oughta Know" campaign, according to The Associated Press. Read More »
If there's one indie rock debut that critics and fans are anxiously awaiting, it's "Days Are Gone" from sisterly trio Haim. The three California girls have won over fans and critics alike with their unique bending of genre, have opened for the likes of Mumford & Sons and played at the legendary Glastonbury Festival and that's all before the release of their first album.

Amazing throwback rockers HAIM have already given us an album full of incredible tracks (Days Are Gone, which is streaming over at NPR), but they were gracious enough to take Miley's more-stunt-than-song break up jam "Wrecking Ball" and turn it into one more. Read More »
