Punknews’ Ben Conoley and Suburban Home Records to publish cook book
Punknews Interview Editor Ben Conoley has announced the upcoming publication of Food Not Songs. The cook book is to be published in 2010 by Suburban Home Records and will feature favorite recipes, food-related anecdotes and hometown dining secrets from dozens of bands and musicians. Says Conoley,
Rather than attempting to write the great American novel, I thought it would be more interesting and delicious to combine my love of writing, food, and music. Plus, now I’ll have something to talk about with Jamie Oliver, should we ever meet. Virgil Dickerson from Suburban Home loves food as well, so it only made sense to work on it with the folks over there.
Contributing bands include Less Than Jake, Andrew W.K., Silverstein, Converge, Fake Problems, American Steel, Mustard Plug, Shook Ones and more.
Beginning in August, Punknews will be running a weekly series of recipes leading up to the publication of the book. Submissions from bands are still being accepted. Interested parties can inquire by emailing ben (at) punknews (dot) org.

Thrice promise “visceral and more raw” new album for October
Thrice have revealed more information about their upcoming album, Beggars. The record is now headed for a October 13, 2009 release. The band commented on the album:
I’m really excited about this record. Beggars is more visceral and more raw – both in the songwriting and in the overall sound. It moves with a different energy than any of our past records. It was born out of us playing together in a room, almost as a backlash to the giant headgame that was The Alchemy Index.
With The Alchemy Index, I think we broadened the scope of what we can do as a band, and while the writing and recording of the four EPs was a great learning experience, it was definitely an arduous, and at times, fragmented process. Beggars was a chance for us to apply the things we’d learned and push ourselves to create something more cohesive. At the root of that, was the four of us getting back in our studio, focusing on jamming song ideas out until they felt right, letting ‘happy accidents’ happen, and building on the energy of the four of us being in the same room together playing live.”
The band released the four EP Alchemy Index on two CDs, The Alchemy Index: Volumes I & II: Fire & Water and The Alchemy Index: Volumes III & IV: Air & Earth.

The Germs plan new recordings, box set for the future
In a new Riot Fest feature, the legendary The Germs talked a little about their plans. Germs drummer Don Bolles revealed that the band will soon be entering the studio for the first time since 1980. The recordings will consist of “new old material, so it’s still Darby and Pat compositions.”
Don says the group is tackling two distinctly different eras that members are unhappy with. The first concerns early songs captured on the infamous Germicide album, recorded at The Whiskey during the band’s first show. The second round of re-arrangements includes the songs done during the final Germs studio session for the Cruising soundtrack. Bolles says they’re “…making them not suck and be too long. Along with the Cruising session songs they will be tackling two Darby Crash Band songs, “Out of Time” and “Golden Boy.”
Finally, Don notes that these recordings will be part of a larger product, a box set entitled Lest We Forget: The Sounds of The Germs, combining numerous live recordings, from both the Darby and Shane eras, with the new/old material. They hope for the set to be released before the end of 2010.
