It’s Sunday August 12th, 2007. Does anyone find it entirely surreal that we’re squabbling over ownership of the the North Pole now? Particularly since it involves rushing to plant flags like it’s the 1500s? If we’re going to be fighting the Battle of Hoth we could at least get some walkers or tauntauns or something…
The people must have something good to read on a Sunday
Given the amount of acclaim they’ve garnered it seemed strange to have Thrice unsigned, and they didn’t remain that way for long. This week we learned that the band signed to Vagrant Records and we saw a teaser video for their upcoming album. Despite what Big D and the Kids Table revealed, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones are denying that they’ve planning a series of reunion shows. We’re hoping that’s a lie of course. Bad Brains remain in the media following the release of their new album, tackling the heavy issues of homophobia and race in a recent interview. A debate over censorship arose this week as alt rock act Pearl Jam had lyrics cut from a corporately sponsored webcast.
A ton of new media arrived this week including the new single “The Running Free” from Coheed & Cambria, the video for “Thrash Unreal” from Against Me!, Plus 44‘s pro skater directed video for “155”, Chiodos‘ new song “Is It Progression If A Cannibal Uses A Fork?”, new music from Mustard Plug in the form of “Hit Me Hit Me”, and a streaming full length from Blaqk Audio. Speaking of the AFI side project, Blaqk Audio will take their odd spelling and electro beats on the road in September. Upcoming tours will see Propagandhi visit South America, NOFX, Mad Caddies and the Loves Ones tour Europe and Dropkick Murphys in the US with the Horrorpops. We had news on upcoming releases from A Wilhelm Scream. They’re preparing to release Career Suicide on Oct 9th. Avenged Sevenfold announced details on their new album while Panic! at the Disco mused about their next. Finally that oft delayed reissue of Operation Ivy‘s classic Energy looks set for November.
Our Video of the Week features the second segment of our “On The Road with the Gaslight Anthem” feature. We also had the pleasure of chatting with Casey Royer of long running punk act D.I. (interview). The third edition of Vinyl File arrived, looking at a rare and much sought after Judge 12″ and checking out the upcoming releases. We also streamed new music from Asian Man band The Hot Toddies, The Riot Before‘s upcoming EP, the return full length from 3rd wave ska act Buck-O-Nine, and three songs from celebrated hardcore band Modern Life Is War.
