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…

In the wake of Jim Lindberg’s departure comes word that Ignite vocalist Zoli Teglas will temporarily front Pennywise. He’ll appear with the band at the two day Cypress Hill’s Smokeout Fest. We’ve also had word that Sublime intends to reunite for that event. Our best guess is they’ve got Black Lantern Bradley Nowell fronting them (too soon?). forgetters, the new band that features Jawbreaker / Jets to Brazil frontman Blake Schwarzenbach and original Against Me! drummer Kevin Mahon, is set to play a show this September in NYC. Speaking of Against Me! this week saw frontman Tom Gabel post a few videos of the band in the studio.

The Riot Before has signed to Paper and Plastick. The group plans to hit the studio this winter to record a new full length. Punk veterans Bad Religion are repressing some early albums on vinyl. Lucero posted the new song “Smoke” from their upcoming album 1372 Overton Park, due in October. The 4th Annual Red Oktoberfest in Chicago will feature bands like the Lawrence Arms, Off With Their Heads, the Copyrights, La Plebe, Smalltown, the Menzingers, Mike Park and the Reganomics (Ryan’s Hope). The Misfits have a huge tour lined up with dates in Mexico, the US, and Canada. Guttermouth is headed to the great white north. The Bronx‘ new sideproject Mariachi El Bronx will support the Killers on tour. Finally Blink-182 has postponed shows following the death of band friend DJ AM.

This week we spoke with vocalist Thomas Barnett of Strike Anywhere (interview), the voice of geek America Rev. Norb of Boris the Sprinkler (interview), guitarist Chris Chasse of Nations Afire (interview), and drummer Lee Barrett of Gallows (interview).

Paint it Black, Polar Bear Club and Set Your Goals topped the list of Your Favorite Records from August. Our Food Not Songs series of punk rock recipes featured Fake Problems making “It’s Great To Be Shepherds Pie.” As always we brought you new streaming music from some great up and coming bands, including the Sidekicks‘ new full length for Red Scare Records, the new EP from Rochester, NY’s Sakes Alive!!, the new full length from Chicago’s The Bomb, and the final full length from Brooklyn’s Nakatomi Plaza.

So what’s coming up this week? Look for new releases from Polar Bear Club, Saosin, Ruiner, Vivian Girls, and Cuff The Duke with tours kicking off from Every Time I Die with Bring Me the Horizon, Oh, Sleeper, Architects (North America), Gaslight Anthem with Murder By Death, the Loved Ones, Frank Turner, the Measure SA (North America), Naked Raygun with Paint It Black and Shot Baker (US), Angry Samoans with Dirty Tactics (US), And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead with Secret Machines and Future of the Left (US), and These Arms Are Snakes with dd/mm/yy (North America).
