Ever wonder if kids are born knowing that there's a God somewhere out there, or if that kinda thing is taught? This experiment seems to fall in the former category. [Relevant]
Thrice continue to endear themselves to indie scenesters: now that all four volumes of The Alchemy Index are out and being aurally consumed with great pleasure worldwide, the band are releasing the entire thing again - on vinyl. Vagrant and the Vinyl Collective will handle it - and rumour has it that the thing will come with cloth packaging. Sweeeeet. [AP]
The full awesomeness of this fall's Rise Against/Thrice/Alkaline Trio tour has been announced; the only Canadian dates listed are October 3rd at the Sound Academy in Toronto and November 9th in Vancouver at Thunderbird Arena.
Nathan Gray, formerly of pioneering emocore outfit Boysetsfire(still one of the best live bands we've ever seen), has put up new music from his band The Casting Out over here.
We picked up our shiny new copy of Shai Hulud's new album Misanthropy Pure today down at End Hits in downtown Ottawa, and it's as visceral and pounding as rumoured. Sadly, the band have had to axe the remainder of their tour with Full Blown Chaos, citing some issues with the other bands on the package as the reason. Bummer. The album still slays.
Long Island's Crime In Stereo will release Selective Wreckage(nice!), a best-of spanning a bunch of b-sides from 2006's The Troubled Stateside, the three tunes on a never-released split with Capital and several re-done b-sides from last year's CIS Is Dead. Then, as if that wasn't rad enough, they go on tour later this year with New Found Glory.
