Well new music this week on the Edge features the return of Cypress Hill who are back with a track called “Rise Up” featuring Rage/Audioslave guitarist Tom Morello. I can’t find a good clip of “Rise Up” but if you go to the band’s website, you can check out another track called “It Ain’t Nothin’”

Also new this week is a track that was released last year but has been steadily gaining buzz lately from British Act The Heavy. The tune is called “How You Like Me Now?” You may have caught their awesome performance on Letterman, or may have heard the song on a Kia commercial that premiered during the Super Bowl.

And finally, the band Hockey is back with the follow-up to last Fall’s “Too Fake.” The second single from their “Mind Chaos” CD is called “Song Away.”

People often say “Hey I just heard that new song from (insert artist here) on The Edge.” Often, however, they’re talking about a track we’ve been playing for weeks or even months. So I have decided to post a few of the tracks we add each week here to make you aware of The Edge’s new music. Now’s a good time to do it because since the start of 2010 there’s been a steady supply of great songs with more on the way. I’ll post the ones I can find good links or videos of and this week’s adds both have sweet videos.

Dan Black - Symphonies

Motion City Soundtrack - Her Words Destroyed My Planet

Lemme’ play catch-up and post a few of the other highlights that have been added to The Edge in the last few weeks:

Gorillaz - Stylo

Alkaline Trio - This Addiction

Broken Bells - High Road

I’ll put new music updates here every week or so – so keep an eye out.
