Long-running ska band The O.C. Supertones are playing their last show this October, but they're not necessarily toast just yet. There'll allegedly be one last studio EP that will only be available at shows on their farewell tour this fall. Does this sound to anyone else like a cash grab? Or a contract fulfiller? I'm really cynical sometimes. [jesusfreakhideout]
Another longtime "Christian rock" band, Starflyer 59, are apparently going for the title of Most Prolific Act; a live album called Never Play Covers(recorded in Atlanta last year) is available through their website and at shows. As well, reissues of their seminal '90s albums Silver and Gold will be in stores June 28th, with each record having an old out-of-print EP on it to boot. Good times.
It's been two years since Phenomenon broke Thousand Foot Krutch out of Toronto and onto the international stage; now it's time for The Art of Breaking, Album Numeros Quatros from TFK; a new song called 'Absolute' is yours for the hearing over here. I'm not that impressed, personally, but I bet the album will do huge.
