Decaydance signs Millionaires

Leave a comment

Decaydance has signed Millionaires. The label will begin by releasing a new EP through the label, titled Just Got Paid, Lets Get Laid on June 23, 2009.

The controversial trio is playing Warped Tour this summer, and Kevin Lyman commented on the group in a recent Punknews.org interview:

You don’t have to like Brokencyde, or Jeffree Star, or the Millionaires, and I’m not saying that I do necessarily. But they are doing something, capturing something, stirring up controversy. Punk bands used to stir up controversy; if you’re taking that as the definition of “punk”, these artists could fall under that category.

Matt Caterer of the Smoking Popes had asked me a few months back about Asian Man working with the Popes and in particular their back catalog. Well, being a huge fan I of course was very excited and so I am here to confirm the following releases to be coming out on Asian Man

First, the label will be compiling the Innoculator, Break Up and other 7-inches on a single CD/vinyl release. The label is also planning a remastered reissue of the band’s 1993 Johann’s Face album, Get Fired and finally, the band’s major label debut Born To Quit will also get the remaster treatment.

The first release will come out in the fall of this year. The band will accompany each release with a record release show in Chicago.

Leave a comment

Dillinger Escape Plan have unveiled the name and more details about their recently announced imprint. The label is titled Party Smasher Inc. and the band explained:

We are creating an umbrella known as Party Smasher Inc.. that we will be putting out all of our future endeavors under. Our records, our shirts, our whatever the fucks….all of it is from now on coming out under that moniker. You’ll see that on there no matter where or what it is, and that’s how you’ll know if something you are getting is really an official DEP release and not a copy, like on the limited shirts and limited other things that we are gonna be doing. That will be on there, and if you don’t see it, on eBay or something, it’s not legit.

The band also spoke to U.K.’s Rock Sound saying that the band’s fourth studio album, Option Paralysis, will be released in early 2010. The band promises an “early ’90s thrash-influenced” record.
In related news, the band joined Nine Inch Nails to perform “Wish” live at Bonnaroo. You can check out the HD footage of the performance here.

Moneen reveal full-length title, release date

Leave a comment

Moneen In a new interview, Moneen revealed the title and release date for their upcoming album. The record is titled The World I Want to Leave Behind and is due out September 15, 2009.

The band commented on the sound and progress of the record:

I think we’re over the whole “tech” rock thing. We have nothing to prove. Now it comes down to writing a good, simple song. Still, we have trouble doing that sometimes. I don’t know how it happens, but the simplest song can turn into crazyness once we start working on it.

It is in the final mastering stage. We decided on the track listing (which wasn’t easy), and now it’s VERY nearly done. The cover art is finished, and I can’t wait to hold it in my hands, and I REALLY can’t wait for others to hear it.

The band released the Hold That Sound EP this year.
