Toronto punk rockers The Artist Life have announced that their debut full-length album “Impossible” will be released on April 26th through Underground Operations. Here’s what they had to say:
“The album was produced by Greig Nori (Sum 41, Hedley) and Jesse Colburn (Avril Lavigne, Closet Monster) and features appearances by some radically talented people. We poured a lot of ourselves into making this record and we thank all of you for being so patient. We are extremely proud of the songs and can’t wait for everyone to hear them. We’d also like to take the chance to officially welcome our new bass player, Justin Zoltek, to the team. If you were out at any of the Anti-Flag dates you would have seen Justin on stage with us. We’re pumped that he’s decided to join full-time and we honestly could not have found a better fit for the band.”
The band released their latest EP “Let’s Start a Riot” in 2008.
Cover songs are like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re going to get. We here at Dying Scene love hearing punk bands do their own take on other band’s songs.

Cover songs are like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re going to get. We here at Dying Scene love hearing punk bands do their own take on other band’s songs. Sometimes they pull off amazing interpretations of old classics, sometimes they’re not much more than humble tributes to a fellow artist, and other times they’re just downright laughable renditions of otherwise great songs. Good or bad. Intriguing or mundane. We’ll let you be the judge.
This week’s cover song comes from Montreal psychobilly band The Brains, who are twisting up an 80’s classic and giving it a much-needed psychobilly edge. Check out the cover and the original here. Feel free to leave your critique as well; 80’s hairstyle critiques are also welcome.
The cover song appears on The Brains’ latest full-length, “Zombie Nation,” which was released in 2010 on Stomp Records.

Casey Royer, ex-drummer/founding member of Social Distortion, and singer for D.I., is fucked.

Casey Royer, ex-drummer/founding member of Social Distortion, and singer for D.I., is fucked. The dude was watching TV with his 12 year old son when he figured, “now would be a great time to do some heroin.” His nawsome* plan backfired, however, when he ended up O.D’ing and his neighbor called 911. Word on the street is the house was littered with garbage and drug paraphernalia when they arrived. Fortunately for Royer he lived through the ordeal. Unfortunately for Royer, he awoke in prison under one count of child endangerment and one count of being under the influence of heroin.
Don’t do drugs, kids!
