News in Punk

Happy Monday to all of you. First, let me apologize for my absence of late; I fell unexpectedly ill and have been recovering over the last week.
Now, I’m back – with a great track for you to check out from One Reason. Entitled “The Hospital,” you can check it out via their Myspace page.
While you’re there, you can also check out some of their other songs, as well as all the latest news about the band.
I’m glad to be back, and I hope you all had a fantastic weekend. Check out some great music, and as always – stay true!

I hope all of you had a fantastic weekend and a lovely Mother’s Day, as well.
Now, let’s get the week started with some cool tunes from ska/punk outfit The Johnstones. Their new album “Sex” will drop June 3rd, but until then you can preview nine of their songs on the band’s Myspace page. Neato.
The Johnstones will be supporting their forthcoming album with a tour of Canada throughout May and June, and will also be making appearances at Warped Tour.
What are you waiting for? Listen to some cool music and start your week off on the right foot.
Stay true,
Denise

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!
Anyway, I digress.
This week’s Monday Music Madness features Florida pop-punk group Troublemake (no, I didn’t make a typo.) They just recently posted a track from their forthcoming EP Two Thousand Hate.
Check out “Rhetoric of Dope” here, and let me know what you think! While a firm release date has yet to be set for the album, the band hopes to have it out by the end of July.
I hope all of you had a great weekend, and, …read more

Pennsylvania based Captain, We’re Sinking (cool name, yes?) have uploaded their music video for the song “Breaking the Fourth Wall.”
The track the video is based on appears on their full-length album The Animals Are Out.
You can catch the video below; for more songs, information about the band and upcoming show dates, check out their Myspace page. I don’t know about you, but I like what I hear.
Thoughts? Leave ‘em in the comments.

Happy Monday, folks! Doesn’t this year seem to be flying by? I can’t believe it’s almost April already!
In any case, this week’s Monday Music Madness features Indiana-based Kingston Falls, who have been touring since March 18th. There are plenty of show dates up, and the band will be touring the middle of August.
Kingston Falls are supporting their recent release, “Armada on Mercury.”
For show dates, click here (you can also listen to some tunes if you’ve never heard them before.)
As always, stay true folks.

While traditionally I feature new or unheard-of bands on my Monday Music Madness feature, in the spirit of St. Patrick’s Day I decided to showcase a little bit of Irish punk this morning. Who better to kick off the day than one of my favorite bands, Flogging Molly?
They’re playing 2008 KEDJ St Patrick’s Day Bash in Tempe, AZ today and have a bunch of other show dates lined up through the next couple of months as well. If you’re in the area, I strongly encourage you to get yourself to a show.
You can also check out some of their music …read more

Happy Monday, everyone! I hope your weekends were fantastic. I just want to warn everyone in advance, if you notice errors of any kind, bear with me – I’m suffering from a nasty headache that just won’t quit.
I digress.
In actual Monday Music Madness style, Millencolin has posted the first video from their upcoming album Machine 15. Believe it or not, this will be their first release in three years since 2005’s Kingwood. It’s about time!
The album will drop May 6th via Epitaph Records, but you can check out their first video below. Stay True!

Goooood afternoon everyone, and welcome to another installment of Monday Music Madness!  I’m feeling a little “mad” today myself, so what better way to feel better than a dose of new music, eh?

Additionally, the group also has a few new show dates up, so if you’re in the area you may want to check ‘em out live.
In any case, get yourself over to their Myspace and check out their two new songs. Let me know what you think …read more

While hard to classify, Rhode Island quintet “She Rides” definitely has some punk influence coming through on their songs. That said, that’s why they’re the featured Monday Music Madness band for today!
Take a look at some of their tracks, available on Myspace.
The songs will also be on their upcoming EP, available on Myspace now and iTunes in March.
Check them out here, and stay true fellow readers.

Alright, ladies and gents – today’s Monday Music Madness features Set Your Goals and a cover version of The Police’s “Message In A Bottle.”
It’s pretty interesting, when you think about a punk band covering THAT song – but I strongly encourage you to check it out. It’s actually pretty decent, in my humble opinion.
In other news, the group’s hard at work coming up with new material for a follow-up to their last album, Mutiny!.
In the meantime, check out the song here and find out what else Set Your Goals has going on!
Stay True
