The awesomeness known as These Arms Are Snakes (botch/roy/onalaska/kill sadie/amazingness) have made the jump from Jade Tree over to Seattle's Suicide Squeeze (home of Minus The Bear). They are also working on a new album to destroy us all that will come out in October sometime. Even if you are a guy who doesn't wear girl pants, you'll wanna get this.
In an attempt to piss more people off -punk legends Bad Religion are reissuing their last cd, Maps of Hell, with alot more songs and a dvd. I love how bands' loyal followers go out and get the album, only to be shown that those who wait are rewarded. Thanks guys! In other Bad Religion news, I had the "priviledge" of hearing their rarest album, Into the Unknown... yikes! No wonder this album caused their first breakup.
Anyone who's been by Pitchfork lately might get a kick out of how much they go fanboy for Radiohead. Radiohead may be great, but pics of their latest show playing their 17th alternate version of "just" is a tad bit too much.
Modest Mouse is apparently going to keep on the road after their upcoming tour with REM and the National. Dudes in messenger bags rejoice!
If you were a grunge dude who liked the gap at the same time, you're gonna love the fact that Candlebox is making a new album! If you live in such big cities as Beaumont Texas or Salem Ohio, you're gonna wanna break out the 80 dollar flannels for this one.
Dashboard Confessional is in the studio under the direction of members of Fountains of Wayne. Interesting to see how that might turn out.
Supcha boi Kayne West claims that the media is trying to make him out to be a an ego maniac who he says is trying to "Michael Jackson" him into being labeled as weird. Why would anyone think that?
