Worthing, UK’s Architects (not to be confused with the Kansas City, MO-based band of the same name) have posted a new track. “Learn to Live” will appear on the group’s upcoming full-length The Here And Now, due out January 25, 2011 via Century Media.
It might be the slowest news week of the year, but not even a flurry of inactivity in the world of Punknews can deter your trusty editors from unplugging their mics and shutting up for the sake of everyone’s sanity. No, sir! This week, news editor Bryne Yancey is joined on the roundtable by managing editor Adam White and social media editor Justin August to discuss Paramore‘s lineup changes, the upcoming LP from Rise Against and the band’s relevance in the scene, and in what has to be a Punknews Podcast first, we break the fourth wall and talk a bit about the ethos of year-end lists and the sometimes puzzling reactions they provoke, hopefully in a manner that isn’t too ham-handed.

If you want to relive the glory of our previous intellectual conquests or just subject co-workers to more inane Punknews musings, past episodes are right here.
