It’s Sunday July 8th, 2007. We return to the long standing tradition of launching Navel Gazing with an image of some under sea horror. So please join myself, the sasquatch lobster, the laser squid and Scooter Libby in welcoming the Octosquid to the party.
The people must have something good to read on a Sunday
Months of hype came to an end this week as the new full lengths from both Against Me! and Bad Religion were officially unveiled. We had streams of New Wave and New Maps of Hell , both of which hit stores next Tuesday. Speaking of the Gainesville act, they announced more dates for their tour with Gaslight Anthem and Two Gallants. A number of high profile tours were announced this week, as Richmond acts Avail and Smoke Or Fire will share the stage later this year. Strung Out announced the first leg of a US tour, this one to feature A Wilhelm Scream and I Am Ghost. Ignite is set to hit the road in the US and Europe as well. One band that won’t be touring is O Pioneers!!!, as they’re regrouping to deal with the departure of Jeff Johnson.
Dave Walsh and Chris Gonzalez of the Explosion have officially joined up with the Loved Ones. The Explosion will bow out later this summer, playing farewell shows with Modern Life Is War and the Ergs. You can add a few more names to the list of defunct bands, as both Hot Cross and Reggie and the Full Effect are calling it quits. On the new music front we previewed Reel Big Fish‘s “Party Down,” MXPX‘s “Secret Weapon” and Every Time I Die‘s “Imitation is the Sincerest Form of Battery.” Victory returned to the headlines with the signing of Across Five Aprils. Finally this week ended with the unfortunate news that Tinkture‘s drummer was injured in a fireworks prank.
Remember that Punknews.org and Fat Wreck Chords have teamed up for the San Francisco AIDS Walk. It’s a great cause and you can show your support by making a donation or even joining us at the walk.
Our Video Of The Week featured the first segment of an interview and live performance by current Org-coverage kings Against Me!. We also posted an interview with acclaimed Toronto hardcore act Fucked Up (interview). Our Editors’ Picks for the week featured Dirty Money, Bob Burns and the Breakups and Resonance.
