Australian pop-punks The Playbook have premiered a music video for their brand new track “Locked Away.” You can watch it below.

If you’ve gotten to know Miguel Chen over the years, either in person or via social media, you’re no doubt aware that in addition to being a proud Wyomingite and, more importantly, bass player for Teenage Bottlerocket, he’s also a pretty devout yoga practitioner. This coming February, he’ll add another title to that list: published author!
With an assist from Rob Meade Sperry, Miguel has written a book entitled I Wanna Be Well: How A Punk Found Piece And You Can Too. Dubbed “a self-help book for people who hate self-help books,” the book tackles how Miguel was able to begin walking a spiritual path after years of running from his problems. And while books of a spiritual nature can take on a bit of a heady tone, don’t worry: each chapter contains a TL:DR summation in the form of a takeaway point. This is 2017, after all.
I Wanna Be Well is due out February 18th via Wisdom Publications, a leading publisher of Buddhist and mindfulness literature. Pre-orders are available on Amazon right here already. Check it out, and stay tuned for more on this over the next couple months!
Pop-punks, Real Friends have decided to celebrate being a band for 7 years. You can watch the acoustic songs performed below.
The band took to Twitter to talk about the new project: “In celebration of our seven year existence as a band we’ve decided to frequently post these acoustic (maybe sometimes not acoustic) sessions. We have quite a few songs under our belts now, so we figure this would be a good way to shine a new light on our songs. These performances will take place in one location with two songs being played. One song will be old and one song will be new(er). This is the first installment of Something Old, Something New Sessions. Enjoy.”

Phoenix Punks, Figure It Out, have just put out a video for their new song “Silence Isn’t Golden” and you can watch it below.
When asked about the song, vocalist/guitarist Mike Weakley said: “I wasn’t looking to write another energetic high-tempo song when looking for the title track. The last EP was full of them. I wanted to write something that reminded me of Blink’s ‘Stay Together for the Kids” or an ‘Adams Song’ chorus. When I belt the hook, it’s big and powerful. The song is about any relationship where if the communication isn’t there, it’s time to let go. I think it came out meaningful and still fun.”

If you haven't heard of Hillview yet, they're a new melodic punk band from Los Angeles featuring Ten Foot Pole bassist Chris Del Rio and Eddie Carrasco of Union 13. They recently released three brand new songs titled "Find the Way", "Pictures of You", and "No One Else to Blame".
The band describes their sound as "Hard hitting. In your face. Melodic Punk", and these songs definitely deliver on that promise. Think a little heavier, faster Ten Foot Pole... I recommend giving all three tracks a listen here.
