In a recent interview, Florida punk rockers Against Me! has confirmed that a new EP has recently been recorded. No official release date has been announced. Here’s what bassist Andrew Seward had to say about it,

“Before this we did a headlining tour with Cheap Girls and Fences. That was about a month long and after the last show in Bloomington, Indiana, we went up to Madison, Wisconsin and recorded some songs because we just had a week in-between tours. So we already did it.”

On May 24th Fat Wreck Chords is releasing “Total Clarity”, a collection of demos and unreleased tracks.

Remember a while back, we posted a story about Two Cow Garage releasing an EP to raise funds to go on tour in Europe. Well apparently they made their goal and are heading up there starting this Saturday. The band will begin in the Netherlands, and play in France, Spain, Belgium and more. You can check out the tour dates here.

If you’d still like to hear their EP, you can download it right here.

It seems that Bad Religion just can’t get enough of performing on TV these days. Fresh off their appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the band will be performing on the Daily Habit on April 6th (that’s tonight!) So mark your calenders, set your Tivo, remind yourself somehow. The Daily Habit is on FUEL TV, from 11:00 to 11:30.

Bad Religion’s most recent album, “The Dissent of Man” was released back in September on Epitaph Records.

“Better Than Something: Jay Reatard,” a full-length documentary on the life and career of the late musician, is set to debut at the Nashville Film Festival on April 15th. The film includes footage  from Reatard’s beginnings in Memphis, interviews, and live footage.

Jay Reatard passed away in January of 2010.

The Warehouse at 12th & G in Chino, Ca has been shut down. Chino PD forced the venue’s landlord to close the operation due to lack of permits, underage drinking, and apparently a zip-lock bag that kinda smelled like weed. This story, however, looks like it will have a happy ending. The people behind Warehouse at 12th & G have not lost hope, and have no intention of quitting.

What’s all this “RIP” “Boo Hoo” “End of Era” bullshit, everyone? We’re still here. Everything that made the Warehouse at 12th & G what it is is still in existence- all we’re missing is a crummy building with a parking lot. And that’s easily replaceable.

They plan on opening a new venue with all the proper permits in hand, and without the underage drinking. Click here to read the venue’s entire statement. [Read more…]

New Brunswick “twinkly” emo band Dads has made their newest EP available for streaming/donation-based download. The EP is called “Brush Your Teeth ;)” and you can listen/download here. “Brush Your Teeth ;)” is also available on cassette tape.

In an apparent effort to make Dying Scene cover them for the second time in three days, Pour Habit decided that streaming one song from their new album, “Got Your Back,” wasn’t good enough. They’ve gone ahead and posted the album in it’s entirety, seemingly abandoning their whole “one song every Monday ’til the album comes out” thing. Check out the album here.

“Got Your Back” is due April 12th via Fat Wreck Chords.
