Small Brown Bike have postd another studio update. The band recently entered the studio today with producer J Robbins to begin work on a new album for No Idea Records.
The Michigan quartet have released a pair of 7-inches through the venerable Gainesville label, with Composite, Volume One arriving in 2009 and Composite, Volume Two following it earlier this year. The band’s last full-length, The River Bed, was issued in 2003 via Lookout!.
Superchunk have posted the new video from their long-awaited new album, Majesty Shredding. The album was released today, September 14, 2010, and is their first new album since Here’s to Shutting Up released in 2001.
Today we’ve got a new video from Kentucky-based The Lions Rampant. The blues and garage-influenced band released It’s Fun to Do Bad Things on Deep Elm Records this year. The track in the video is the A side of the Lions Rampant 7″ vinyl release Deep India.
The band is described as “dance-punk” inspired by “David Bowie, The Jam, Adam Ant, The Psychedelic Furs, Primal Scream, New Order, Franz Ferdinand and The Killers.”
Mogwai have signed to Sub Pop Records and have promised their next album will be released in early 2011. The signing represents the first new label for the band after signing to Matador Records in the late 1990s for the release of Come On Die Young. The band noted:
We are happy and proud to announce that Sub Pop Records are releasing our next studio album in North America. The album is currently being mixed in Glasgow at Castle Of Doom studios by Paul Savage for an early 2011 release. Rock Action Records will be releasing the record in Europe with Hostess releasing in Japan. We would like to take this opportunity to thank and pay tribute to our previous American home Matador records. They remain great friends of the band and we want to thank them for everything they have done for us over the last 11 years and wish them all the best for the future.
Laura Stevenson and the Cans are currently on a huge US tour, showing off their indie-folk-punk jams both new and old. Only a few days into the tour, and Laura has already lost her guitar, ran out of money, had an amp brake, and had The Can’s van hit. Despite all of this she seemed to be positive and upbeat when she talked to Punknews interviewer Matt Humphries on a Monday afternoon.
Less Than Jake have announced a new release titled TV/EP and due out October 12, 2010. The album will apparently feature 16 songs spanning 13 minutes of music. The press release noted:
Spanning from the vintage adverts of yesteryear to the frenetic promos of modern day, TV/EP reimagines a world where pop punk and ska is the music de rigueur, and this is the soundtrack to your couch potato life. Tracklisted as anonymously numbered channels (the band is keeping the names of the songs under wraps till right before release), the experience they have planned is akin to the feeling of flipping random television channels.

Antillectual have premiered another new song from their upcoming full-length, Start From Scratch. “Cut The Ground From Under Our Feet” is the fifth track on the album and features a guest vocal spot from Propagandhi‘s Chris Hannah. Hannah had this to say about the song:
“I must admit, I’ve only spent about 5 minutes on a skateboard in my entire life, so while I won’t pretend that I’m either familiar or interested in skate culture, I will say that what I understand the message of the song to be – a lament of the brazen commodification of something you love – resonates pretty strongly with me. Of course, as long as we live in a world where we teach young people that making money takes priority over compelling art, principled sport, democratic politics and humane sciences, brazen commodification will be the rule.”
