It’s Sunday February 25th, 2007. Now, some may call it lazy to just take the squid from last week’s article and Photoshop in something blatantly obvious, but I’ll have you know it was the result of intense debate and scrutiny over here. Well… it was the result of my girlfriend and I sitting on the couch and watching TV. That’s sort of the same thing.

The people must have something good to read on a Sunday

Rise Against has lost yet another guitarist as Chris Chasse has left the popular Chicago punk band. Replacing him is Zach Blair of Only Crime. So Rage Against The Machine‘s one-off reunion is set to last a little bit longer, as the group is set to play three shows with Wu-Tang Clan. Speaking of reunions, albeit little bit lower profile reunions, Inquisition has added a second show. We had a report from the road that Reggie and the Full Effect‘s James DeWees is performing with pop stars My Chemical Romance on their current tour. All these tours better be careful at the 49th, as the Canada-US border is posing more trouble for bands on the road.

On the subject of tours, we’ve got dates for NOFX‘s April Asian tour and even more Warped Tour confirmations. Look for bands like Flogging Molly, the Briefs and Hawthorne Heights this year. One show that’s got everyone buzzing is an upcoming Naked Raygun gig with Dillinger Four and the Bollweevils. On the media front this week brought a Fall Out Boy remix by Kanye West, a new Against Me! track debuted via a live video, and news of an upcoming Pulley DVD

We brought you a couple of new streams this week, including the new full length from Smoke Or Fire and the split between Boston ska act Big D & The Kids Table and Beijing punks Brain Failure. Our MP3 Of The Week featured music from Chicago’s the Ponys and inblackandwhite.
