Tool singer Maynard James Keenan has done a lot of experimenting with trip-hop beats and tongue-in-cheek vocals recently with his group Puscifer, so it's a bit of a relief to hear that he's rocking out again with LA superduper group Jubilee. Recently, Keenan recorded the vocals for the song "I Don't Have an Excuse, I Just Need a Little Help" along with frontman Aaron North at Shabbey Road. The beat for the tune was composed by Trent Reznor and The Liars drummer Julian Gross played over the programming. "I Don't Have an Excuse" will be the B-side of the band's second single "In With the Out Crowd." Jubilee's first single was "Rebel Hiss." The band's upcoming debut album will also feature contributions by Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters), Josh Homme and Joey Castillo (Queens of the Stone Age), Carla Azar (Autolux), Josh Freese (A Perfect Circle) and others.
