Former Red Hot Chili Pepper’s guitarist John Frusciante has quit his new band Swahili Blonde. The band’s debut album is tentatively called Man Meat and is due out August 4. The Red Hot Chili Peppers are also planning to release their 10th studio album in the near future with guitarist Josh Klinghoffer. [Exclaim!]

Fucked Up will release a new 12″single on September 28 called “Year of the Ox.” You can listen to the epic 13-minute track over at Pitchfork. The b-side is called “Solomon’s Song” and has been described as “a gothic vampire love tribute to Twilight.” The single was recorded by The Chemistry of Common Life producer John Drew. [Pitchfork]

And Eels have released a new music video for the track “Spectacular Girl,” which features a woman who is an clean-cut office worker by day and assassin by night. The song is from the band’s latest album Tomorrow Morning, the third of a trilogy of concept albums. Watch it below. [Stereogum]
