Despite having an average age of just twenty years old, England’s Sharks have already clocked up an impressive array of achievements. Their debut EP, the five track Shallow Waters won them widespread critical acclaim in 2009, and earned the band a single deal with Atticus Black as well as tours with the likes of Gallows, The Ghost of a Thousand and Crime In Stereo. Currently adding the finishing touches to their highly anticipated new EP Show of Hands, the four-piece are set to hit the road for some of their biggest shows to date alongside New Jersey’s Gaslight Anthem. Sharks guitarist Andrew Bayliss took time out to tell Punknews writer Ryan Gallagher about recording the EP, his respect for Tom Jones and why artists are really just glorified vagabonds.

The Guild II is the shining successor of the ultra successful medieval life sim, Europe 1400. The Guild II is a unique mixture of RPG and life simulation in an immersive middle ages scenario. The player and his party become part of history and can even change it in real-time.
The Guild II – Pirates of the European Seas expands and transforms the game into an even greater experience by adding a huge area including the cities of “The Hanse” located at the shores of the European seas. Sea battles and naval trading are added to the gameplay, and a new campaign mode provides more than 10 hours of additional fun.

While in Sweden, Rise Against joined Dennis Lyxzén of Refused and Brian Baker of Bad Religion to perform a live rendition of the track “Minor Threat” as originally performed by Minor Threat. The performance is particularly notable since Baker was a member of the original band and performed on the original Minor Threat EP released just under 30 years ago and collected on Complete Discography.

In the wake of the death of Devon Clifford this past April, Abbotsford B.C. dance-punk act You Say Party! We Say Die! has implemented some significant changes. In a statement they commented:
We have talked at great length with each other and our families and friends about the future. Devon’s parents have encouraged us to continue on and given us their blessing. It is their opinion (as well as ours) that Devon would never have wanted his death to end the band. He would have wanted us to continue on.
In the time between Devon’s passing and this statement, we have all reflected upon our personal lives. Krista has decided that her time with us has come to an end as she no longer desires the long drives, poor sleeps and revolting selection of road food. Instead she’s choosing a home, a garden, some gluten-free baking and a proper education. We will miss Krista very much and she remains a part of our lives.
We have turned to our good friends and former tour-mates Robert Andow and Bobby Siadat of Vancouver band “Gang Violence” to play keyboards and drums This new line up will continue the tradition of excellent live shows and sweaty dance floors, with new strength and a renewed commitment to music and touring. The 5 of us look forward to carrying the spirit of our friend Devon with us everywhere.
Furthermore the band is changing their name to simply You Say Party. Their previously cancelled European tour dates are being rescheduled for this fall under the new moniker.
