Korn, still messed up in the head and very proud of it(wave that flag, fellas), have their new "rap-star-studded" video for 'Twisted Transistor' online over here. It's the lead single from See You On The Other Side, due out in December. Personally, give me Korn(1994) and Life Is Peachy(1996) and then leave me alone. [theprp]
Two Blood & Ink Recs bands will be on campus radio soon, at George Washington U in D.C. I have a couple connections at GWU, and based solely on that(ha!) you should all listen to Ten33(6pm, October 30th) and Skylines(6pm, December 4th). Both bands will do interviews and probably some live in-studio songsmithery. Check out the station's website for details.
SoCal veterans Stavesacre have posted a new song called 'Kill My Darlings' up on their myspace. There's also 'Bull Takes Fighter' from the EP of the same name released last year.
Fear Before the March of Flames are taking a band I saw last night, The Bled(more on that in a minute) and The Fall of Troy out on the roady McRoad Road. Sadly, it's over in Europe and I don't think sweetdisaster has much of a readership over there(do email if you're somewhere in those parts and reading), so I'm not gonna bother with the dates.
However, yeah, speaking of the Bled, they're on the road this minute with Thrice and Underoath, and I wanna take two seconds to hugely thank Thrice singer/lyricist Dustin Kensrue for being a class guy and going waaaaaay above and beyond the call of duty in sitting down for an interview and then guestlisting a bunch of people he didn't know for the show.
And we move on.
Following his missing their last tour, A Perfect Murder vocalist Kevin Randell has now been summarily booted from the band. Natch. They're having a hard time keeping people aboard the ship, it seems. The day from Darker Day Tomorrow is rumoured to be the replacement. Let's lay bets on how long he lasts in this dog-and-pony circus. [lambgoat]
Real long, in-depth interview with Bono over here, conducted by Rolling Stone edtior Jann S. Wenner. When he comes down from on high to talk to someone, you know it'll be good, if a little profane. If I need to tell you which band Bono's in, you shouldn't even be reading this magazine. Did you know the U2 frontman(oops, gave it away) wears those shades all the time due to a blockage in his right eye that causes ultra-sensitivity to light? I'd no idea. [buzzgrinder]
I heard these guys about a year ago, and wasn't really all that impressed, but the first cut over here, called 'City of Champions' by LetLive, has won me over. Think Coheed & Cambria crossbred with The Bled, with the surgery done by whoever arranged those Chervocoder vocals on that huge song of hers. Nice.
