I'm helping bring them to Ottawa in a couple weeks' time: The Reason's new album is called Things Couldn't Be Better, and a video for lead single 'This Is Just The Beginning' can be seen online over here. The Reason, Daphne Loves Derby and Jonezetta open up for Anberlin April 26th at Babylon here in town. Sweet. [absolutepunk]
Brown Brigade has signed with Aquarius Records. Alert types will recognize BB as the new project from former Sum 41 guitarist Dave "Brownsound" Baksh - and Aquarius would be Sum's label.
The latest edition of the Festival of Faith & Music went down recently at Calvin College in Grand Rapids, Michigan - and being that both my parents are alumni, I thought I'd link y'all to some pictures. Day 1 / Day 2
Good Charlotte's new album hit the Top Ten. I'm getting tired of saying this, but there is no justice anywhere.
I picked up Further Seems Forever's last record The Final Curtain yesterday; it's a CD/DVD of the band's last show in June of 2006 as well as some extras thrown in. Pretty good investment for a longtime fan, though Jon Bunch's vocals were, are and never will what Jason Gleason brought to FSF in the early part of this decade.
In related news - Strongarm, the '90s hardcore band that spawned Further, look to have solidified a reunion, but it won't be until 2008, as the band wants time to practice songs they haven't played in the better part of a decade. Understandable. Go team go! [IVM]
Thursday have cancelled every last show remaining in 2007, including the Ottawa show with My Chemical Romance in the not-too-distant future, with one exception of a gig at the University of California on May 7th. So much for all the local happy kiddies. [AP]
