Hello everybody and welcome to Navel Gazing: your look back at the week in Punknews. I’m Adam White and I’ll be your guide through some of the most popular, notable, and otherwise attention getting stories of the past seven days. Each and every Punknews story is built from tips contributed by you fine folks, and here’s what got the community talking…

This past week was April Fools, the most important religious holiday in the Punknews calendar. So what happened? We forged the release info about Dillinger Four‘s long awaited record, created a conflict between Fake Problems and Anti-Flag, granted The Gaslight Anthem their wildest dream, forced Cancer Bats to find a more PC name, and faked a New Music Roundup. In non-bogus news we had updates from a few classic bands. Terry Hall announced that the Specials are getting back together for a tour later this year, although the exact line up is still unconfirmed. A rare 1995 demo recording from the Misfits was posted online, featuring Eric Weiss on vocals. Also the Sex Pistols are planning their first ever live DVD titled There’ll Always Be an England, reuniting the band with longtime collaborating director Julien Temple.

On the touring front we saw long awaited summer dates from Rancid. The third-wave revival paring of Goldinger and Less Than Jake will hit the road this summer as well. We had release info on the Gaslight Anthem‘s SideOneDummy debut, Weezer‘s third self-titled record and a split LP featuring Envy and Thursday. On the reissue front Jimmy Eat World‘s fan favourite Bleed American will soon see a deluxe repackaging while Rise Against‘s b-sides record will see an expanded European release. As for new music, this past week saw a fleeting preview of Alkaline Trio‘s Epic debut, a full album stream of Millencolin‘s Machine 15 and H2O‘s new track “1995”. As for videos, we saw clips of A Wilhem Scream‘s “I Wipe My Ass With Showbiz,” Paramore‘s “That’s What You Get” and Modern Life Is War‘s “Fuck The Sex Pistols.”

Our Video of the Week featured the new video from Richmond, VA’s Landmines, filmed by Punknews’ own Chris Moran. The thirty fourth edition of Vinyl File featured a look at upcoming releases and the conclusion of that sweet Hot Water Music contest. This week’s Editors’ Picks recommended music from Tampa’s Guiltmaker and Toronto’s Born Ruffians. This week also brought new Streaming Music from No Use for a Name‘s new full length The Feel Good Record of the Year, Glass and Ashes‘ sophomore full length, and the new EP from Toronto’s Hostage Life.
