Madball have another slab of NYHC action coming out in the near future - and this video for 'Heaven-Hell' is a good reason why I'M gonna be wherever fine music is sold August 2nd to pick it up. [pastepunk]
Fat Wreck Chords(wreck chords...records...get it? GEEZ, people) is doing a tour that will hit every single one of the fifty United States. I've never heard any of the bands on the tour, which proves how old I am. When I paid close attention to Fat, it was Lagwagon, Pulley, etc. Where are those bands?
I dug Seventh Star's debut on Facedown Recs, and this guy at pastepunk really digs their new one, Brood of Vipers. I really gotta hear this one.
I can't believe this: Mars Ill's long-delayed new album Pro*Pain, finally scheduled to drop next week, has been "indefinitely delayed" by Gotee Records' parent owner, the monolithic EMI. "You can only imagine the disappointment and frustration we are feeling over this news at such late notice," DJ Dust said on MI's myspace.com page. "Mars ILL and Gotee just received this news July 3rd and are still in a bit of shock considering there have been no new complications since the album was first delayed last October. Regardless, Mars ILL is still working hard to bring you the best music we can, and it wont stop here. We trust God's plan for Pro*Pain and for Mars ILL. Stay tuned for His next move." GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ. I was planning on getting that one next Tuesday. [jesusfreakhideout]
Head Automatica has cancelled some dates recently on account of illness(my guess is singer Daryl Palumbo's Crohn's disease acting up), and I just hope they're able to play here in Ottawa in September(opening for Underoath and The Used). [absolutepunk]
Apparently The Pixies are gonna record their first album in almost fifteen years. I've never heard a note of their music, so I can't say I care much at this point.
I'd maybe believe this if DMX, Mase and countless other rappers didn't keep telling lies: Eminem has apparently retired. Uh huh.
Discovered while reading HM's blog that MxPx is apparently toting a second guitarist around on the Warped tour. What? Random. That'll be weird to see on the 29th. In Montreal. I'm real excited. Yes.
Hard to believe it's been ten years: Sacramento's finest, the Deftones, have put up a bunch of rare stuff on their myspace page. Statement from vocalist Chino Moreno: "We've got so many recordings of covers and remixes and there's loads of stuff people haven't really heard. I've got boxes of VHS tapes and there's so much insane footage of crazy stage shows and wild stuff. So it's going to be like a timeline from the beginning up to now. There'll be an album of B-sides and rarity songs and a DVD with it, so it's going to be really cool. Adrenaline came out in September 1995, so I think we're aiming to release this around our 10th anniversary." [saveyourscene]
