R.E.M.

Drummer's new group the Bad Ends just released their debut album 'The Power and the Glory.'

Guitarist doubts he played 'Batman' theme properly and can’t forget how embarrassing early R.E.M. concerts could be.

Eight CDs, one DVD and a whole lotta R.E.M. from over the years.

Another preview from the upcoming 'R.E.M. at the BBC' box set.

This debut was perfectly titled, since they were initially something you heard in passing more than really saw coming.
