Long-running SoCal punk act Pulley have just posted a music video for an oldie, but goodie – “The Ocean Song.”  The song is off the band’s 2001 album, “Together Again For The First Time,” and the video features a bunch of live footage.  Give it a gander here.

*Editors Note: Time is a funny thing.  I distinctly remember buying this album while I was living out of a backpack and bumming around Europe.  I listened to it on repeat while on an overnight ferry between Athens and Rhodes, trying to tune out the blatherings of my cabin mate, who turned out to be a heroin junkie gone AWOL from the Greek military.  For some reason I still think of the experience as recent and the album as “new” though all this happened a f’ing DECADE ago!  I digress…

Pulley just recently released a new EP titled “The Long and the Short of It” on When’s Lunch Records, and digitally through the band’s own label, X-Members Records.

Fans can expect a full length to follow sometime next year.

Fueled By Ramen, the record label that many credit with bringing emo-pop to the masses, is turning fifteen this year. To mark the special occasion, the label announced a three-day celebration (September 7-9) to be held at Terminal 5 in NYC.

Headlining the first day’s festivities will be Paramore, the biggest selling band in the label’s history. No word on other acts confirmed for the festivities yet, and Less Than Jake have long since departed, but with bands like Sublime With Rome, The Academy Is…, Gym Class Heroes and Cobra Starship on their active roster, we have our guesses. Stay tuned…
