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…
We start this week in Berkeley. Pinhead Gunpowder, which of course features members of some band called Green Day, donated a new sound system to the famous scene hub at 924 Gilman. Fello denizen Jesse Michaels of Operation Ivy and Common Rider is working on a new batch of songs that are reportedly “raw, traditional punk rock.” Plenty of other acts announced updates this week. NOFX‘s world tour documentary is now slated to air on Fuse. Richmond’s Ann Beretta have announced upcoming reunion shows with additional dates and festival appearances to come. Bad Religion‘s Brooks Wackerman is playing in a new project with what amounts to the refugees of nu-metal, the results of which are anyone’s guess. Epitaph announged the signing of Minneapolis power-pop act Sing It Loud. Pop-punk act the Starting Line recently announced a hiatus.
On the new release front we had details on New Found Glory‘s greatest hits compilation. The Dropkick Murphys will issue a limited edition version of The Meanest of Times, expanding on their lastest full length. The Alkaline Trio‘s Matt Skiba posted a new studio update detailing the progress on their new record. From First To Last detailed their major label debut as well. 100 Demons, 108, Blacklisted and Madball will all appear at This Is Hardcore 2008. The Asian Man Records tour keeps adding dates. It’ll feature the Queers, Lemuria, Bomb The Music Industry!, Andrew Jackson Jihad and Kepi Ghoulie. There were plenty of video releases this week as well. You could check out Millencolin‘s “Detox,” the Presidents of the United States of America‘s “Mixed Up SOB”, Against Me!‘s acoustic “Amputations” and “Nuclear Cowboys in an Age of Drift,” and Avenged Sevenfold‘s “Afterlife”.
This week we said goodbye to Dungeons and Dragons co-creator Gary Gygax (1938-2008).
Our Video of the Week featured Smoke Or Fire performing with Avail‘s bassist Gwomper guesting. This week also brought new Streaming Music from the Gaslight Anthem, featuring a song from their new EP Señor and the Queen.
