It’s Sunday, January 27th, 2008. Welcome to Navel Gazing, your look back at this week in Punknews. Thanks to Aubin for covering last week while the majority of us were out in Vegas for Punk Rock Bowling. Punknews Team 1 did surprisingly well, boosted by truly massive handicaps that the debacle of 2007 earned us. Team 2 is best left unmentioned. A big thanks goes out to the Stern brothers and Julie at BYO for throwing such an awesome party year after year.
The 2008 release schedule’s starting to shape up. That long awaited new Rancid album now looks like it’ll arrive in June. Popular act My Chemical Romance are planning a return to “punk rock” on the follow up to their theatrical recent work. Good Riddance set a date for their live album and unveiled the track listing. Labelmates No Use For A Name released the art from their new one as well. Millencolin unleased all sorts of information, including a new song, artwork, and album title. New Found Glory are headed back into independent territory, with plans for a 7″ via hardcore label Bridge Nine. Beijing’s Brain Failure spoke about their next one and discussed the challenges of performing in China. I suppose that’s a different level of censorship then you get at Disneyland, but the UK’s Gallows still managed to get themselves banned by the mouse
East Bay punk rock supergroup Pinhead Gunpowder, featuring members of Crimpshine and some unknown band called Green Day, are reuniting for two shows. The Vandals have a short set of North American dates scheduled before they hit Australia.The Dropkick Murphys and Big D and the Kids Table are touring in March. Looking for more? Avenged Sevenfold are supporting Iron Maiden soon and the Civic Tour will feature Panic At the Disco and Motion City Soundtrack among others. On the new music front we got a preview of the Night Marchers (ex-Hot Snakes, Rocket From the Crypt, Drive Like Jehu), a new epic from prog monsters the Mars Volta and a new tune from Fake Problems. This week also saw news of Minor Threat‘s Jeff Nelson selling some unique hardcore merch and an upcoming “Greatest Punk Songs” special on Sirius.
This week we spoke to Oregon pop-punkers Broadway Calls (interview). The twenty sixth edition of Vinyl File featured a look at the vinyl history of Dan Yemin, including detailed discographies of Lifetime, Kid Dynamite, Paint it Black and Armalite.
