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 this week:
- A few quotes from Ted Leo from an interview were misinterpreted, and the musician put a rest to the “early retirement” talk
- Drummer Yuri Ruley has decided to retire from MxPx
- Devil’s Brigade, featuring Rancid‘s Matt Freeman and Tim Armstrong, has announced their debut. They’ll soon be touring with Street Dogs, Flatfoot 56 and Continental
- The Bouncing Souls and Hot Water Music are planing a split 7-inch where they’ll cover one of each other’s songs
- Social Distortion is taking Lucero and Frank Turner out on the road soon
- Canuck pop punks Sum 41 returned with the song “Scumfuck”
- Riotfest this year will feature Bad Religion, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Circle Jerks, Articles of Faith, The Lawrence Arms, The Smoking Popes, and Snapcase
With that we hand over this Sunday evening to you, the Punknews community. From that glorious, likely bearded rabble we’ve see the creation of everything from message boards and Punknews fantasy sports leagues to even a band or two. So talk amongst yourselves and we’ll see you Monday…
