Political electro-punk act Intro5pect have decided to cancel their upcoming American and European tour in order to finish their upcoming full-length. The band made the following statement:

“Why did we have to cancel? Because the record was not yet where we wanted it to be. The music we put out is our foundation and if we aren’t happy with the record then you won’t be either. So we have decided to take the summer and fall to finish up the record and really make it worth the wait. But!!!!! don’t think that we will leave you guys hanging this summer. We will be releasing an ep this with all new songs just to hold you guys over until we put out the full length. In addition to an ep we will also be putting out some vinyl and some new merch.”

The band last released the Realpolitik! EP in 2007.

RVIVR, the newest endeavor for former Shorebirds and Latterman frontman Matt Canino, is already planning a new 7″ single.

Derailer will be sent to the presses this week and is expected to be released on Rumbletowne next month. The band just released their Life Moves 7″ on the label as well.

Canino has also started another band, along with former Shorebirds bandmate and Jawbreaker bassist Chris Bauermeister. The project is called Mutoid Men and is described by Canino as “wild scientific rock with moog keyboards. Like AC/DC on acid.” That band has nearly completed recording their 12-song debut full-length, Mutoid World.

Erica from RVIVR also recently released a self-titled 7″ with her other band, Glue!.

Rise Against have posted the new video from their 2008 album, Appeal to Reason. The video was directed by Meriert Avis..

Given the subject matter, the band made a statement to talk about the video and the meaning of the song:

“Hero Of War” is the story of one soldier, not all soldiers, as he battles not just the war around him, but the war that rages within. Inspired by true events, we were given the choice to either document the tribulations of these times as they unfold around us, or ignore them. To ignore these problems, in our opinion, is letting down the brave men and women who risk everything.

“Hero Of War” is our attempt to lift the stigma that surrounds everything from the skyrocketing suicide rate of troops, torture, internal sexual abuse, an under-funded VA, and the growing number of military personnel fighting Post Traumatic Stress Disorder as they return home. We hope this song and this video help the simmering dialogue about these problems evolve into a rolling boil.
