It’s Sunday May 20th, 2007. It’s May Two Four up here in Canuckistan. The long weekend basically involves everyone heading to a cottage, drinking and blowing things up in honour of Queen Victoria. It’s a grand ol’ time, too bad you suckers south of the border hoofed the Monarchy or else you could get in on this. But you did and you can’t. So there.
The people must have something good to read on a Sunday
This week brought us plenty of updates from some of old favouries. Bad Religion released not one but two very different tracks from their upcoming full length New Maps of Hell. The steady trickle of Tim Armstrong song releases was wrapped up in a full album stream from the Rancid frontman. NOFX talked about their touring plans for `07, confirming that they will not appear at Reading and Leeds. Staying with the Fat Wreck family, the label announced their 1,2,3, Punk tour of Canada featuring the Mad Caddies, the Sainte Catherines, and the Real McKenzies. The label also confirmed that there would be no vinyl issued for the upcoming Strung Out and No Use for a Name releases. Two former Fat bands were in the news, with Rise Against planning a new album and Less Than Jake apparently leaving Warner (more on that next week!).
The post-Blink-182 factions were back in the news. Former Distillers member Ryan Sinn was kicked out of Angels & Airwaves, while Plus 44 promised some Blink covers at their live shows. Details were released on hte upcoming Iggy Pop biopic starring Frodo as the influential Stooges frontman. Finally this week saw recording updates from Jimmy Eat World as well as A Wilhelm Scream while Silverstein detailed their upcoming Arrivals And Departures
Our Video of the Week now, and I suspect for a while after knowing Chris, will feature Inquisition reunion. Check out a two part video-interview with the melodic-hardcore act, Part 1 and Part 2. I suspect we’ll see some performance footage soon enough. We brought you streaming music from Clorox Girls and their new album J’ aime Les Filles, Trophy Scars‘ EP Hospital Music for the Aesthetics of Language, the split between Fox Trotsky and Die Benny, and four songs from recent A-F signing Incommunicado.
