Rockabilly/Ska/Punk/Pop-punk, female fronted outfit, American Pinup, have premiered the music video for their song “Strange Creatures” and you can check it out right here.

The song appears on the bands debut album ‘Strange Creatures’, available on Altercation Records.

The band, who recently completed a nation-spanning tour to SXSW 2011 alongside labelmates The Jukebox Romantics, are currently doing some east coast support for The Toasters.

For the first time ever, I approached an Against Me! release with a certain amount of trepidation. “White Crosses,” the band’s last release with Sire Records, was astonishingly disappointing after a full decade of great releases. “Russian Spies/Occult Enemies,” however, does not fail to live up to the expectations that we usually have for Against Me! The first of the two tracks is “Russian Spies”, which has a sound similar to songs from “White Crosses,” but lyrically is much better than anything from that album. It has an honest feeling that was missing from their previous release. However, the memorable part of this EP is the second track. “Occult Enemies” sounds like Against Me! from the “Searching For A Former Clarity” or “New Wave” era. From the vicious opening chords to the last “you better believe their coming for you” this song kicks ass.

This is Against Me!’s best release since “New Wave” and deserves a listen from all fans. The vinyl can be purchased from Against Me’s new label, Total Treble, and it comes with an Mp3 download of the songs.

Anberlin have just announced an Australian tour like nothing they’ve ever done before.  Anberlin are no strangers to Australian shores, in fact they should probably just buy a house down here.  They will hit the country this August/September for a run of 5 dates on the “An Evening With Anberlin” tour.  Check out dates and venues here.

Here is what front man, Stephen Christian had to say about the never before seen performance:

“We love touring Australia and can’t wait to get back- it’s always too long between drinks. This time, we’re stoked to be able to offer our fans who’ve stuck with us over the years something that’s just as new and special to us as it is for them. ‘An Evening With Anberlin’ will be just that. Each of the shows we will be doing different things, different feels than we have ever done in any one show. We might be doing some special covers, different variations on our own songs, telling stories behind the recordings and writing, maybe a Q&A with the audience, never before played b-sides, an intimate acoustic portion, and perhaps some special guest vocalists on stage, as well as all the passion and energy that we try and give Australia each time we come back. Rest assured, we will leave it all on stage for these shows like never before.

We think those that have been there with us from Day One will really get into the rarities, but there’ll be plenty there for those that have come on board more recently- there’ll definitely be something for everyone. This is totally new to us – safe to say we’re beyond excited to share this experience with our favorite audiences on the planet!”
