Contrary to the 582872724 bands that have broken up lately, Bedlight For Blueeyes have stated online that they are not splitting up. "All we can say is that there are some internal issues that need to be worked out," reads their little e-post. Their vocalist is pretty good. Musically, whatever. [absolutepunk]

I sold their seminal The Stings of Conscience album the other day, and I know I'll buy it back: Unearth have posted some live footage over here. Ever seen Unearth live? I have. They rip. I remember the last time was here in Ottawa the night the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Calgary Flames to win the Stanley Cup(we're talking hockey here, people), and guitarist Ken Susi gently rubbed it in our Canadian faces.

We must have missed the news, but Moneen's new album, due out April 11th, is called The Red Tree. Their drummer, Peter Krpan, never makes mistakes. Ever. We've watched. He's an automaton. Trust us. Oh, and the band'll be playing Bamboozle Fest down in Jersey May 7th.

During The Simpsons the other night, FOX aired a promo for that massive Prison Break show they've got cookin', and apparently Emery's 'Studying Politics' was used in the background. It's a pretty good song. The entire title of it reminds me of MxPx's Teenage Politics album from '95, because it had that awesome 'Study Humans' song. Sick.

...and on a related note, MxPx are here in Ottawa March 18th at the Congress Centre. We're not gonna mention who they're opening for because, quite frankly, it's disgraceful that it isn't the other dudes opening for them, but c'est la vie.

Park's new album is called Building A Better Pirate. And that's awesome. Great band.

Check it out: speaking of great bands, Comeback Kid and Misery Signals will be playing various Warped dates this summer on the Smartpunk. We predict absolute chaos at every CBK set.
