It’s Sunday August 19th, 2007. Nothing much happened this week. See you next Sunday!
The people must have something good to read on a Sunday
Alright, alright. I’ll concede that a few things of note were announced, primarily tours. The hearts of the Punknews audience continue to beat irregularly as the thought of the Lawrence Arms upcoming tour with American Steel and Larry Arms offshoots the Falcon and Sundowner. The first slate of dates for the trek were announced this week. Squat punks Leftover Crack are touring as well, talking along with them a motley crew of bands that includes Toxic Narcotic, I Object and Introp5pect. Silverstein, From Autumn To Ashes and Strike Anywhere have their own tour in the works, set to kick off this October. Bad Religion and UK labelmates Gallows will support their respective recent records with a tour alongside the Briggs. Tiger Army‘s got that same thing in mind, teaming up with the Street Dogs for a jaunt of their own.
John Reis of Rocket From The Crypt and Drive Like Jehu fame will return to the stage and studio soon with his new act Speedo. He’s teaming up with bandmates from Hot Snakes and Swami act CPC Gangbangs this time out. The Loved Ones are in the studio as well, set to record under the loving direction of Pete and Bryan of those Jersey moochers the Bouncing Souls. We had details on a number of upcoming releases this week. This includes the title and recording details on NOFX‘s live record They’ve Actually Gotten Worse, a release date for Angels and Airwaves‘ I-Empire, and track listings for both the Dropkick Murphys‘ The Meanest of Times and Coheed & Cambria‘s next album for which I refuse to memorize the title. Epitaph announced their first signing in a while, with the addition of New Hampshire’s Our Last Night to their roster. Aiden posted a full album stream of their new record Conviction, and you can thank me for not re-posting their nightmare inducing press photo here again. Finally this week we celebrated the 25th Anniversary of the compact disc by spinning a Screeching Weasel tune on the subject. That’s it.
Oh… wait… there was also a minor incident in a coffee shop. Tom Gabel of Against Me! may or may not have been involved. Something about a cruller.
Our Video of the Week featured live footage of Colorado’s Signal To Noise, the third part of our feature from our recent Gaslight Anthem tag along. We talked to MU330 frontman and solo artist Dan Potthast this week as well (interview) The fourth edition of Vinyl File was a doozy. We chatted with Billy Hamilton of Silverstein about his Hot Water Music collection, and dude — it’s epic. We also streamed new music from Philadelphia’s the Low Budgets, featuring Joe Jack Talcum of the Dead Milkmen, a new track from third wave ska mainstays Mustard Plug, the new full length from Philadelphia’s Jena Berlin, and the new record from Toronto’s reggae-influenced three piece Bedouin Soundclash.
