Dallas Green of Alexisonfire and City and Colour spoke to Alter the Press about future plans for both his bands. First, with regards to the Dog’s Blood EP first mentioned in March:
We’ve kinda got all of the songs written, we just have to record it; but it’s not going to take that long to record, we can do it a few days. We’re coming back to the UK in the fall, and hopefully it’ll be done by then. We’re doing it on vinyl and digital. It’ll probably be a 12″. We have a bunch of time off in the summer, and we’ll probably do it on a weekend. The songs cater to just being able to go in, and play.
Green also mentioned plans for his acoustic/folk project, City and Colour:
I have lots of songs; just have to find time to record them. I’ve got fifteen that I like. It’ll probably be ten songs. There’s a lot more piano. I’ve always wanted to write songs on piano, but there are still songs that are just me and my guitar. There are also songs that are taking a whole new direction.
Alexisonfire released Old Crows / Young Cardinals last year.

…the sound is definitely more mature than anything from our previous EPs, but overall it’s definitely a MDAM record; very driving, heavy and filled with a lot of emotion.”
The band will kick off their summer tour with Hostage Calm on July 6th in Baltimore, MD. They previous released Bodies of Water in 2009.

Matt & Kim have announced a fall tour set to kick off September 15th. The duo will be touring in support of their 2009 LP, Grand.
Bad Religion‘s Jay Bentley spoke to Jesse and Marty from The BR Page during their recent performance at the Melkweg in Amsterdam. Along with a bit of a history lesson about the band, Bentley talked about the rumours that the band’s forthcoming album would be their last:
We learned a long time ago that we’re not really super forward thinking. It’s better not to make plans for the future. Obviously we have a record coming out in September, that’s for sure. The record is done. If we all die on the bus drive tonight, the record will still come out. So we’ve got this tour that’s booked. On to the process of booking the US tour, that’s now going to start on October 7. That’s the plan. It’s like staying about six months ahead. The only time we’ve really discussed when it stops is that it’s going to stop. It’s not going to some long drawn out farewell tour and a reunion tour. I can’t say for sure what we’re going to do. Maybe this is our last tour. I don’t think so. There’s no discussion in the band that this is it; that we’re packing it up after this.
Jesse and Marty also asked about the Internet, specifically those Punknews.org folks:
I think they’re hilarious! They’re funny. Both Brett, Brian and myself will always go like ‘hey, did you read that?’ And we’ll all have a laugh about it. Brett might get a little bit more upset then others. [Brett indeed posted in the comments once, but no one believed it was him] And rightfully so. You should never believe anything on the internet. That’s why have have that signature. It’s all bullshit [laughs]!”
