The Weak's End is the upcoming debut release from Emery(Tooth and Nail Records); the album is slated for January 27th, 2004, and absolutepunk has an early, early download of 'Walls', from said album. Go listen.
Mae and Something Corporate are set to hit the tour road together; one Canadian date is listed(November 28th at Toronto's House of Blues), and you really should get out to see Mae, who are amazing. Rx Bandits are opening for the entire tour.
New L.A. Symphony e-card! Clicky clicky!!
The Agony Scene are really making a name for themselves. Check who they're playing with in the coming months: Suicide Machines, Avenged Sevenfold, Mushroomhead and the ever-lovin' hardcore LEGENDS Integrity! Daaaaaaaaaaang!
Taken straight from a Solid State Records update email: "DEAD POETIC OUT OF THE STUDIO AND ON TOUR WITH PROJECT 86, HOTWIRE AND OTHERS - Since Dead Poetic left the studio earlier this week we've been listening to a new song from the record and it's possibly the best stuff the band has ever done." I cannot wait.
The new issue of HM magazine is out, with a really good, necessary cover story. (Thanks, hxc)
I'm really excited, because there's a new Smalltown Poets album coming out early next year on BEC Recordings. Solid pop-rock, and I'm a sucker for a great hook. [cmcentral}
This really sucks: Fono(remember them? Great British band) lost everything involved with their musical career(studio, masters for their new album, etc) to the fires presently raging through the southern California area. As a result, they'll be "disappearing" for a while to regroup as a band, which is entirely understandable. Our thoughts and prayers are still with everyone in that region.
Remember Alien Ant Farm? I do, because I just listened to their first album an hour ago. Anyway, they've parted ways with guitarist Terry Corso. As long as they don't lose their bassist, because that guy amuses me. [theprp]
November 26th at Babylon here in Ottawa: Poison the Well with Every Time I Die and Armsbendback. Oh, and This Day Forward, who really impressed me when I saw them a couple months ago.
This year's Take Action Tour brought to us by Hopeless Records(among others) donated just over thirty-seven thousand dollars to the National Hopeline Network 1-800-SUICIDE. Great job, everyone involved. [punknews]
How's this for weird: Hazen Street, featuring members of New Found Glory and Madball among others, has signed to D.C. Flag, a record label run by - get this now - the two brothers from Good Charlotte. What the...? To top it off, guess who's producing the first album? That's right: Howard Benson(P.O.D.). Odd.
More punkish news: the video for Rancid's 'Red Hot Moon' was shot recently at NYC's legendary CBGB's, and can viewed right on over here. Knock yourselves out.
Even MORE punk news: the Warped Tour will have two shows in Japan next year. I can hear the Japanese version of Gap kids rejoicing already.
Didn't know about this, but I do now: Ferret Records has a brand-spankin'-new website. Check out the new Ferretstyle, with thanks to pastepunk.
The November issue of Scenezine will be up in a few days, if their news section can be believed. Included will be interviews with As I Lay Dying and Evergreen Terrace.
