Remember how we said Spitfire were back together? Well, not only that, but one of the Norma Jean guitarists has temporarily joined up with the band to make the new record. No, he hasn't left Norma Jean. Quitcher bellyachin'. [hardcorechristian - still the funniest news column around]
Watashi Wa, Copeland and Underoath will all be on this upcoming tribute to The Police that the Milita Group kiddies are putting together - except didn't Watashi Wa break up last year? Hmmm...
Some Geez, I Can't Believe It's Been Pushed Back Again news, Propagandhi's new album has been delayed - again. Reason listed on their website? "Dave Mustaine falling asleep on my arm." That's funny. He was in Metallica years and years ago, left in a huff, and went on to form Megadeth, who are still making good records to this day, in distinct contrast to Metallica. Anyway, we'll all have to wait for Prop's new album. [aversion]
I never got to see them live: Despistado have split, leaving their new album, a re-release of their debut called The People Of and Their Versus, to be released on the internet April 5th. I've never even heard this band, and now they're toast. Sucks. At least Jade Tree Records still have the almighty Strike Anywhere.
sweetdisaster faves Sloan(okay, personal faves Sloan) are aiming to have a greatest-hits compilation in stores by this summer, along with a DVD. No release date for either yet, but the album will have two new songs. Always reason to celebrate.
The first single, 'Beverly Hills', will be on the radio starting March 21st, but the fifth album from Weezer still doesn't have a title or day-you-can-bumrush-your-local-joint-and-buy-it date. Obviously it's probably all over the internet already anyway. So what's the point? Next. Although I still think it's funny that frontman Rivers attends Harvard.
A band whose album The Difference Between Me And You Is That I'm Not On Fire is easily one of the best-named in history, McLusky, has broken up too. Apparently there's a pandemic of such things.
I have a feeling this album will blow my mind when I finally hear it, but for those who are new to Buried Inside, read a review of their latest, Chronoclast. Yay Ottawa bands making a name for themselves.
