The first-ever Tooth and Nail Tour starts next February and goes for five weeks coast-to-coast. No word on whether Canada is included - particularly Ottawa, let's face it - but a tour featuring Further Seems Forever, Anberlin and mewithoutYou had better stop by.
bedlamsociety has tons going on, including an Atticus contest, a bus run heading to the November 27th Deftones/Thursday/Thrice show in Mississauga, and lots lots lots more. Hit it up.
Florida's Until The End are heading into the studio this winter to record their fourth album with producer Jeremy Staska. It'll hit stores next spring through Eulogy Records. [qchc]
This JUST in: singing 'Take Me Out To The Ballgame' during Game 7 of the Cubs-Marlins series? None other than ex-Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan. Good on him! "Let's get some RUNS!", indeed. As I write this, it's 9-5 Florida. C'mon Cubbies!
Like it wasn't hard enough for American bands to tour Canada before: a cancelled Exploited show in Montreal last night wound up in a riot. Nice, kids. Real nice. Read all about it.
The Agony Scene has a new bassist in time for their hotshot CMJ performance. His name is Steven Kaye and he's a lucky twerp. *smirks* [hardcorechristian]
The Scene: it's new(premiered October 1st), it's well-done, and they have pieces on As I Lay Dying, Figure Four and friggin' Pigeon John for crying out loud! What're you still here for??
Winnipeg's Burn The 8-Track have signed with Abacus Recordings(home also to the amazing Narcissus); they're in the studio as we speak with producer Justin Koop(he's worked with lots and lots of bands, none of which I feel like listing here; go read for yourself for once) and aiming for a spring '04 release. Innnnneresting. [punkhardcore]
Band name of the day: Captain Organ Transplant. Oh yeah.
A band I may never have posted about in my entire life, but still like: The Tea Party's Jeff Burrows(drums) apparently mooched a lotta drumsticks from his timekeeping compatriots at July's SARSfest in Toronto(Rolling Stones, et al.) and will be auctioning them off, with proceeds going to Transition 2 Betterness, a nonprofit cancer charity. Good on him. [chartattack]
Sackcloth Fashion put out a record way back in '99 that blew me away, but their new one, The Lone Flower was a disappointment to me. Relevant mag, however, disagrees.
Bandoppler is having a bit of a hard time getting Issue Numero Dos out to subscribers - something to do with a deranged old Korean lady. Read their Insular News section.
It's foulmouthed, but it's the funniest thing I've read in a long time: fineprintmag's take on the new Take Action double-CD album. Read and howl.
