Due to the enormous amount of comments I received over the weekend (and was unable to get to,) I will be announcing the winner for the Less Than Jake contest TOMORROW. I would feel bad if those comments were unable to be counted, especially considering they DID make the deadline ( I was just super busy and unable to moderate them.)

With that being said, I definitely thank you for your patience and look forward to announcing a winner tomorrow.

Thank you!

Denise

I’m writing this post to stress the importance of following entry instructions EXACTLY. I deleted two comments, so Rodney and Louise, you are welcome to enter again – but please ensure you follow the contest instructions

Good luck to all participants, and I hope we get a good show of entries for this!

I HAVE DELETED SEVERAL COMMENTS BECAUSE OF FAILURE TO FOLLOW ENTRY REQUIREMENTS. PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE POST BEFORE ENTERING THE CONTEST! IF YOU DON’T, YOU RISK YOUR ENTRY NOT BEING COUNTED. THANK YOU.

Earlier this week, I promised there would be contest information on Friday. Well, it’s Friday folks – and News In Punk’s FIRST EVER CONTEST! (Yes, I capitalized the words for effect.)

I’ve got a couple of rad prizes to give away, courtesy of Sleep It Off Records. One lucky winner will receive a copy of Less Than Jake’s forthcoming CD, GNV VLA as well as a 12″ LTJ bobblehead. The bobblehead apparently also functions as a bank, so it’s a collectors item AND multi-purpose.

(You could win these!!!)

The contest will run from Friday, June 6th until July 6th (that’s a whole month, folks.) In order to enter, leave a comment on this post telling me about one of your all-time favorite songs and why it has a special place in your heart. Simple enough, yeah?

At the end of the month, a winner will be randomly selected and the prizes will be shipped out. PLEASE, make sure you leave a valid e-mail address so I can contact you if you win. Good luck, and get to entering!

Stay TRUE,

Denise

Plenty, considering some of the celebs on the roster include Chris #2 from Anti-Flag, Brandon Barnes from Rise Against, Derek Grant from Alkaline Trio, John Feldmann from Goldfinger, and Andy Hurley from Fall Out Boy – just to name a few. Who knew so many punk musicians were veg?

In any case, what are you waiting for? Vote for YOUR favorite sexiest vegetarian nominee here, and show these musicians your support.

The list is long, so take your time – I’m still deciding.

Stay TRUE,

Denise

The last few days have been great for Offspring news, and I’m happy to announce the latest developments. Apparently, The Offspring have launched a video contest for their new single “Hammerhead.”

The contest is simple. Interested participants must create a video using the “Hammerhead” song and upload it to YouTube. Be creative! Do not use any photos or video footage of The Offspring; all footage of your video must be self-shot.

The grand prize winner of the contest will be hand picked by the band and walk away with $10,000. The most viewed submission will win a cool $3,000, while the most favorited submission will net $2,000.

For contest details and complete rules, click here.

What are you waiting for? Enter today!

The album will be released on April 1st 2008, and is the follow-up to their last album, “For Blood and Empire.”

The site says entries were supposed to be received by midnight yesterday, but I entered this morning and my entry seemed to go through just fine. My thoughts? It’s worth a shot, you never know!
