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 week…
This week The Fest announced more bands playing this year’s weekend in Gainesville. The new additions include a Gunmoll reunion show and apperances from Carpenter, This Bike Is A Pipe Bomb, Chris Wollard and the Ship Thieves, Vicious Cycle, American Steel and Drag The River. Dead to Me posted the song “Modern Muse” from their upcoming full length African Elephants. The band also announced that guitarist / co-vocalist Jack Dalrymple did not participate it the recording, nor will he join the band on upcoming tours. Bassist / vocalist Chicken insists that Dalrymple is still in the band though, he’s just taking a fatherhood sabbatical. With their recent reunion the Get Up Kids are getting all nostalgic on us. In a recent interview Jim Suptic discussed his love for Fugazi and outright apologized if the Get Up Kids’ influence help create today’s glam rock-like emo / punk scene.
Suburban Home announced the next three Under The Influence pairings. Look for splits between O Pioneers!!! and New Bruises, Joey Cape paired with Mike Hale, and Kevin Seconds with Kepi Ghoulie. Jello Biafra has returned with a new band dubbed Jello Biafra and the Guantanamo School of Medicine. The band features Billy Gould of Faith No More, Kimo Ball of Freak Accident, Ralph Spight of Victims Family, and Jon Weiss. The record The Audacity of Hype will arrive in October on Alternative Tentacles. Banner Pilot has posted the track “Greenwood” from their upcoming Fat Wreck Chords debut Collapser. Panic at the Disco has unveiled the song “New Perspective” from soundtrack to the upcoming film Jennifer’s Body Label Paper + Plastick also offered up a free digital sampler this week. Chuck Ragan has announced the dates for the 2009 Revival Tour with Jim Ward (At The Drive-In, Sleepercar, Sparta), Tim Barry (Avail) and Dave Hause (The Loved Ones). Brand New has tour dates coming up with Manchester Orchestra, Thrice, and Glassjaw. AFI has shows scheduled in support of their upcoming Crash Love. Polar Bear Club will play dates in Europe followed by CD release shows. Have Heart‘s world-spanning final tour continues with appearances from Crime in Stereo, Cruel Hand, End of a Year and Foundation. The Letters Organize have announced a reunion show this August in Atlanta, GA. Fake Problems tour plans continue to fluxuate with the cancellation of four more shows. Finally this week saw a contestant on Indonesia Idol perform NOFX‘s “The Brews.”
This week we spoke with solo artist Frank Turner (interview), drummer Benny Horrowitz of the Gaslight Anthem (interview), Paint It Black frontman Dan Yemin (interview) and vocalist Efrem Schulz of Death By Stereo (interview). As always we brought you new streaming music from some great up and coming bands, including the new 12 inch EP from Doylestown, PA’s Balance and Composure, and the new 7-song EP from Boston’s Ringers.
So what’s coming up this week? Look for new releases from Darker My Love, Hawthorne Heights, Norma Jean, the Real McKenzies and Zebrahead with tours kicking off from the Breeders with Times New Viking and Whispertown 2000 (US), Franz Nicolay (US), Portugal. The Man (US / Canada), the Melvins with Down (US), Harvey Danger (farewell tour), and High On Fire with Early Man (California).
