The fallout from the now infamous Ben Weasel incident at SXSW continues to heat up. This time Joe Queer from The Queers is offering his perspective, and he pulls no punches.
He defends his friend Ben Weasel while referring to Fat Mike of NOFX as “Fat fucking Mike-that rich bastard who has nothing whatsoever in common with his fans” and compares the fan reaction to “throwing Jews in the oven at Aushcwitz.” This is a read you definitely do not want to miss.

Rise Against has undoubtedly been a topic of polarizing debate within the punk community for some years now. The hardworking band that began with a small following on fat wreck chords has just released “Endgame” and the album has reached the #1 and #2 spots on the billboard 200 for Canada and the United States respectively. The band has long been accused of alienating its association with the punk rock scene with its jump to major labels and arena tours.
However, Brendan Kelly from the Lawrence Arms seems to have a different perspective on the group and offers his thoughts and memories of the band in a recent post on his personal blog. It’s actually pretty interesting. Here are a couple snippets but I encourage you to read his whole post right here.
“There’s a lot of shit talk out there in the world of punk rock these days, and if there’s any lesson to be learned from it, it’s that that kind of shit is sort of poisonous and lame. There’s a difference between having an opinion on something and being an asshole.”
He also comments “I’m super stoked for some friends that I knew back when I was a kid that have pulled off a truly amazing feat for a punk rock band, or any musician for that matter.”
Rise Against last released “Endgame” March 15 on Interscope Records.

It looks like emo rockers The Academy Is… may be working on a new record. Singer William Beckett Tweeted, “Been working on the album with @shitcardensays. Dangerously excited.

It’s kind of fitting, if you think about it. The Aquabats are wacky, have goofy stage names and wear superhero costumes. Not to mention, MC Bat Commander is one of the creators of Yo Gabba Gabba. So it’s not a huge mental leap for them to be starring in their own kids’ TV show, called […]
It’s kind of fitting, if you think about it. The Aquabats are wacky, have goofy stage names and wear superhero costumes. Not to mention, MC Bat Commander is one of the creators of Yo Gabba Gabba. So it’s not a huge mental leap for them to be starring in their own kids’ TV show, called “The Aquabats Super Show.” They made a pilot in 2008, and you can see a preview from back then here.
The show will air on The Hub for their 2011-2012 season, and will be “quirky comedy adventure show” and through “a hybrid of concert footage, live-action skits and animation, the Aquabats battle evil with music and superhero powers unlike any seen before.”
The band’s most recent album, Hi-Five Soup, came out January 18 on Fearless Records. They will perform at Coachella in April.

Sum 41‘s new album, Screaming Bloody Murder, comes out next week, and singer Deryck Whibley recently did an interview to talk about it. He discusses the lengthy recording process, creative control and fans’ nostalgic expectations.
“I can’t write the same song twice. Whatever I write is what comes out. If I try to write a song like another song from our past, I wouldn’t have any ideas and couldn’t finish it. I don’t even feel like I have any control over what I write. Where songs come from is weird. I don’t always know why I’m writing about what I’m writing about. I want to be able to create new feelings and new music.”
