Hardcore legends Good Clean Fun are back in action after an almost two-year hiatus; they're booking a reunion tour as you read this. [Equal Vision] (Thanks, Josh)
Ohio's Prodigal Zoo, who as we just told you earlier were formerly called Twelve Tribes, have signed with none other than Ferret Records, and you can download some new stuff here and here from their upcoming Ferret debut The Rebirth of Tragedy.

Be in Farmingdale, NY at The Downtown January 25th to watch Unearth tear the place apart with Nora and Every Time I Die in tow, along with Syracuse band If Hope Dies, who're signed to Unearth's Ironclad Records label.

HELP ME BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!" Go Jordan.
I was reading the other day that the new structure going up at Ground Zero in New York City will be shorter than Toronto's CN Tower by - get this - half the length of a tennis court. That's what, forty feet or something? They couldn't go all out on this?
