NOFX played Bonnaroo over the weekend, and if you’re confused about why they played a festival full of hippie and indie acts, you’re not the only one.

Pop-punkers Automatic Loveletter have signed to Paper + Plastick and are currently recording their label debut “The Kids Will Take Their Monsters On”. Frontwoman and main song writer Juliet Simms will take full control of the album and promises that it will be mostly acoustic songs that she has penned on her own. The label explains:

“In these days of autotune and over-processing, it’s refreshing to hear an artist strip everything bare and release an acoustic album, exposing emotions, nuances, and talent. AUTOMATIC LOVELETTER’s energetic and feisty frontwoman, Juliet Simms, is doing just that with her new album THE KIDS WILL TAKE THEIR MONSTERS ON which will be released on Paper + Plastick Records on June 28, 2011. Produced and engineered by Valencia’s Shane Henderson and co-produced by Damone’s Michael Woods, this is the sound of an artist taking away the gloss and showing what critics and fans have known for years – that Juliet has pipes and songwriting skills. “I started off as an acoustic singer songwriter,” she explains. “It’s my roots. I play acoustic shows a lot, and it captures another side of my songwriting and performing. Kids also have been asking for years. So, I said to myself ‘Self, let’s do this *iiish*!'”

“The Kids Will Take Their Monsters On” will be released on Paper + Plastick Records on June 28, 2011.

Cover Art Tuesday: Emily’s Army, The Swellers, The Wonder Years, The Holy Mess…Time to vote!

Remember when buying an album meant something more than adding a dozen audio files to an already endless collection of impersonal mp3s?

Remember when buying an album meant something more than adding a dozen audio files to an already endless collection of impersonal mp3s? It was a time when liner notes actually got read and there was something really special about the art that graced an album’s cover. Today, in an industry dominated by iTunes and Pandora, it seems the cover art of an album is getting a little under-appreciated. Well, we here at Dying Scene aren’t letting the art form die off so easily.

Whether bizarre, beautiful, thought provoking, or hilarious, each Tuesday we will present the most interesting album covers of the week and let you readers vote on which one you think should win “Best Cover Art of the Week!”

Check out this week’s offering right here and get voting!
