News in Punk

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes recently announced the title and release date for their upcoming album, the follow up to “Love Their Country.”
The album, entitled “Have Another Ball” will essentially feature songs that didn’t make it onto the Gimmes debut album “Have A Ball”, which dropped in 1997.
I don’t have much more information for you at this time, but I do know the album will apparently hit stores July 8th, 2008. Keep your eye out for more updates as they happen.
Stay TRUE!

If you recall, I wrote a post in February detailing my opinion on Fall Out Boy’s cover of Michael Jackson’s song “Beat It.” As you well know, I wasn’t impressed.
However, now Fall Out Boy has posted the music video for their cover… I’m still not a fan, but maybe you will be.
Check out the video below – let me know what you think, will ya? I’m always up to hear differing opinions from my readers.
In all honesty, I don’t find anything that appealing about the song OR the music video.
Stay TRUE

I wrote about the “Punk’s Not Dead” documentary during the summer of last year – I had no idea it had been so long. The documentary chronicled the past 30 years of punk music, and interviewed legendary bands that helped shape this diverse music form into what it is today.
Well, if you weren’t lucky enough to live in a city that held a screening of Punk’s Not Dead, you’re in luck – the documentary will be coming to DVD sometime in May.
You’ll be able to catch performances and interviews from bands like Bad Religion, Rancid, The Casualties and more. If …read more

In other news, the band will be releasing a 4 song EP, “White Ashes & Dead Black” sometime in July.

Well, I am back from vacation. It was hot, tiring, and in all honesty pretty lame – I’m so glad I’m back with ya’ll!

Kooky band name aside, Toasters Not Torpedoes actually play some pretty decent music.
If you’re interested, check out three new songs recently posted on their Myspace page; the songs are said to appear on the band’s forthcoming album.
The songs are “Of Bastards and Sin,” “Sundial,” and “Zombie Roflcoptor” (my favorite simply because of the name!)
What are you waiting for? Check out the tracks here, as well as other info about the band, news and upcoming show dates.
Stay TRUE!
