Rise Against Announce Album Plans

Mon, 14 Jul 2008 20:17:21 +0000

Happy Monday, folks! First, I would like to apologize for the lack of updates recently. I am currently undergoing a move, and I’m sure most of you can understand how time consuming that is! Rest assured I will post as frequently as possible.

But, I digress.

Rise Against fans will be happy to know that the band has finally announced a title and release date for their upcoming album. Entitled “Appeal to Reason,” and will hit stores October 7th, 2008. This will be the follow-up to their 2006 release “The Sufferer & The Witness.”

Additionally, the band will be headlining a tour this Fall along with Alkaline Trio, Thrice and Gaslight Anthem. I’ll offer more details on that when I have them.

Until then, stay true. I hope all of you had a fantastic weekend!

Sex Pistols Set to Record Again?

Mon, 21 Jan 2008 18:08:16 +0000

Somehow, this little tidbit managed to escape my radar until now. Better late then never, right?

In any case, it appears that there’s been talk of the Sex Pistols reuniting to record some new material – their first new songs in 30 years!

I’m not sure about you, but if it happens I’m DEFINITELY going to be excited.

While the likelihood of recording an actual album seems nil, the Sex Pistols hope they’ll have some new material ready by summer for their fans.

For the rest of the story, click here.

What are your thoughts? I’d like to hear ‘em!

New Movie to Star The Black Lips as DIY Punk Pop Band

Fri, 02 Nov 2007 16:47:21 +0000

I ran across an interesting news tidbit today.

Plans are in the works to create a fictional movie following a DIY (Do it Yourself) punk-pop band in the 1980’s called The Renegades.

The film, entitled “Let It Be” will attempt to show what the underground music scene was like in New York during this time period, and they’ve established that The Black Lips will star as the movie’s protagonists.

You can read more about “Let It Be” here.

The Copyrights Post New Song Online

Tue, 11 Sep 2007 16:51:47 +0000

Illinois quartet The Copyrights have posted a new song online, entitled “Charlie Birger Time.”

If you want your daily dose of pop-punk goodness, I seriously suggest you check it out.

From what I can surmise, the song will be featured on an upcoming release The Copyrights have planned.

Apparently, it will be released via Red Scare Records sometime in 2008.

Check out the track on their Myspace page, and if you haven’t already, pick up The Copyrights latest album “Make Sound” which was released earlier this year.
