Mae have let it slip at a live show in Virginia that their new album Singularity will be out August 14th. It feels like forever since The Everglow came out. [absolutepunk]
The new name for former MTV cornerstone program TRL Putatively, YouRL. Weak, MTV. Weak.
If you're into buying singles from world-dominating rock bands, Green Day have a song up for sale over here. It's called 'Working Class Hero,'(yes, the John Lennon tune), and I'm sure the band can relate. *blank look*
We mentioned a couple weeks back that Goldfinger's new album won't happen til 2008 for us, the hardworking, taxpaying peasants - but a new song support Kevin Kjonass(learn more here) has been posted over here.
One of my favourite '90s records is getting the deluxe re-issue treatment: Foo Fighters' 1997 gem The Colour and the Shape will be out - again - for a tenth-anniversary edition on June 25th.
Oh man, this one hurts: following the announcement that they've weaseled out of their major-label deal, The Explosion have now announced their breakup. Boooo. Bury Me Standing, their final album, will see a posthumous release later this year following some "final shows" this summer.
'90s Christian punk act Value Pac are rumoured to be doing a reunion show for Cornerstone California this summer. There are very few people reading this who will know to whom I refer. [IVM]
Some of the headliners for this year's edition of the original Cornerstone Festival, held in rural Illinois: Norma Jean, David Crowder Band, Pigeon John, Copeland and more. This is why I'm going. [Relevant]
Leave it to Every Time I Die to keep upping the laughs ante: the band's upcoming fourth album will be called The Big Dirty. Taken from the band's 'press release': "You want riffs so filthy they should have a moustache and wear elastic work out pants when they go out to eat at the Olive Garden? Right here, boys." [AP]
Melodic hardcore band Crime In Stereo have jumped ship from Nitro Records(home of my boys No Trigger), electing to sign with the mighty Bahston boys of Bridge Nine Recs.
I'd have liked to be there for this one: check out a Youtube clip of New Found Glory(with help from members of Stretch Arm Strong and quick-rising Brit act Gallows) performing a cover of Minor Threat over here.
Speaking of legends, Minor Threat contemporaries Bad Brains have a new album ready to destroy us all via MegaForce Records; the due date is June 26th, with the following tracklisting:
1. Give Thanks and Praises
2. Jah People Make the World Go Round
3. Pure Love
4. Natty Dreadlocks 'pon the Mountaintop
5. Build a Nation
6. Expand Your Soul
7. Jah Love
8. Let There Be Angels (Just Like You)
9. Universal Peace
10. Roll On
11. Until Kingdom Comes
12. In the Beginning
13. Send You No More Flowers
14. Peace Be Unto Thee
Two old-school southern-Ontario hardcore bands have contributed members to a new thing: former players in Grade and Confine have put together To The Lions, who will put out their debut album Baptism of Fire on June 19th through Hamilton, Ontario's Goodfellow Records. I can't wait. [SPB]
