It’s Sunday, September 16th, 2007. We’re really dipping into the surreal with the names of our massive killing machines lately. MOAB and FOAB are really only a step away from MODOK. Anyways…
The people must have something good to read on a Sunday
This week landed a few familiar faces in hospital beds. Weatherbox guitarist Lowell Heflin was assaulted by two men in Nashville, while Mastodon vocalist/guitarist Brent Hinds suffered a head injury following an altercation in Vegas. Both men are expected to make full recoveries. We had more censorship in Disney owned venues, as a second Machine Head / Throwdown show was banned in Orlando. Frank Carter, frontman of the popular UK-based Gallows, had a rather grim outlook on his future in music, even though the act shows no signs of quitting anytime soon. Given the gravity of the songwriters in Bad Religion, it’s a refreshing change to see a loose, informal chat with someone like Jay Bentley. The bassist sounded off this week on the evolution of Warped, punk rock and more. The end of the road for Chicago’s Spitalfield is in view, as the Victory act embarks on their final tour this fall.
I don’t really want to keep making fun of your new band, Tom, but the art for the new Angels and Airwaves record looks like the movie poster to some 80s space opera, with you in the role of the galactic chosen one. A Wilhelm Scream had a bit less of a star-messiah vibe with the cover to Career Suicide. We had hints from No Doubt about their upcoming record, which may just turn out to be more ska and less BANANAS. it also seems that Panic! At the Disco have scrapped their new LP. They’re trying again though, which is good or bad news depending on how you look at. On the video front we had footage of the Foo Fighters and Serj from System of a Down performing “Holiday in Cambodia”, Bad Religion performing live on Conan O’Brien and Fall Out Boy‘s new clip for “I’m Like a Lawyer…”. Looking for a show? This week we had news of Pansy Division‘s October tour and Against Me!‘s upcoming November trek with Sage Francis, World Inferno Friendship Society, and Cobra Skulls.
Our Video of the Week featured part two of our video countdown to the Fest 6. This week we checked out the some footage of Org favourites the Lawrence Arms. The eighth edition of Vinyl File featured a look at the ultimate in early punk collectables from the Sex Pistols and previewed lots of upcoming wax. Our Editors Picks featured audio from Cleveland’s Sidekicks and Cincinnati’s 500 Miles to Memphis. We also streamed new music from former Marathon frontman Aaron Scott’s new act Attica! Attica!, the new full length Doublecross from Vancouver’s Riff Randells, and the entirety of Andrew Jackson Jihad‘s new folk-punk debut for Asian Man.
