The Constantines finally have a new album coming out. Arts & Crafts will release Kensington Heights on April 15th here in Canada, with the US release set for two weeks later. Cons frontman Bryan Webb remains the only dude I've ever seen get so drunk he literally fell off-stage. Classic CanRock moment there. [punknews]

Neil Young, Tegan & Sara, Feist(though she was shut out last weekend's Grammys), Bedouin Soundclash and my boys The Saint Alvia Cartel are all up for Juno Awards - yes, yes, Canada's Grammys, fine, whatever. The televised ceremony goes sometime in the next couple months(can't be bothered to find out when, precisely).

Good news for fans of Alkaline Trio: the band are working on their sixth album, and the first since 2005's Crimson(by the way, I've got time to waste).

Game maker Activision is gonna put out Guitar Hero: Aerosmith this summer. You guessed it - all Aerosmith. And that's awesome, considering the band's '70s and '80s work remains timeless, if you forgive everything since. [absolutepunk]
