Remember No Doubt? Before Gwen Stefani went all Hollaback Girl?

Well, they’ve been back for some time now, but they’re getting serious about recording. Yeah, so serious that they’ve tweeted their seriousness:

“Holidays over. 2010 done. 10 new songs written. No Doubt’s 2011 New Years resolution: to record our new album…beginning TODAY!”

Technically that was on the 3rd of January, but it’s still relevant as they are making progress in the studio. Check their blog for updates and pictures.

This recording will be the first release (of new material) of theirs since 2001’s Rock Steady, released on Interscope Records. That’s right. First album in 10 years.

So I was lurking around some Blink-182 sites, looking to see when this 6th album of theirs is coming out, when I stumbled upon an interview with Tom DeLonge where he gives out some interesting information.

He tells two possible song names: “Ghost On The Dancefloor” and “Genesis (Snake Charmer)”. Tom redundantly describes “Dancefloor” as “big” and “epic” and one of his favorites. “Snake Charmer” is supposed to be about Adam and Eve… Interesting.

The album is supposed to have this fast, new-wave sound to it, really melodic. Tom goes so far as to say no other band is sounding like this (but what band doesn’t say that?). Whether or not this is good news or bad news for Blink-182, we’ll have to wait until June to find out.

Oh yeah, the album is supposed to be out this June. Do I believe it? Not really, because this album was supposed to come out in 2009. It better be good. I’m sick of bands releasing mediocre albums after a hiatus (*cough cough* Offspring *cough cough*)

If you don’t believe me at all about this interview, you can read it right here.

Untitled Blink-182 Album #6 will be the followup to their untitled/self-titled 2003 release.

Escape The Fate have announced that they will be releasing a Remix EP of their latest single, “Issues” off the self-titled album tomorrow.

The band released their latest self-titled album last November on DGC/Interscope Records.

They will start touring the U.S. on January 20th. Check out their shows page for dates and locations.

Ska-Punk legends Less Than Jake have announced that they will be reissuing their albums “Losing Streak” and “Hello Rockview” March 1st on their own label Sleep It Off Records.

The physical release of both albums will include the original album along with a bonus DVD of live video recorded at various shows in their native Florida (the digital release will consist of the recorded audio from these shows only). All new artwork for the expanded packaging has been created by longtime LTJ artist Horsebites.

The band is currently touring  the U.S. with Off With Their Heads and The Supervillains. Check out their shows page for dates and locations.

LA hardcore group Terror have posted the music video for their song “Keepers of the Faith”, which appears on the album of the same name.

“Hoping that I’m unofficially done writing the new solo record. Studio starts on the 28th.”

Tony Sly latest album “12 Song Program” came out on February 16th 2010 on Fat Wreck Chords.
