Massachusetts hardcore act Defeater has announced details for their latest album. “Empty Days and Sleepless Nights” will be released March 8th 2011 on Bridge Nine Records.

The album was produced by guitarist Jay Maas, who commented about the experience,

“It’s nice to be behind an idea all the way from it starting in your mind to actually shaping the way it will be heard as a final product. At the same time, there is an extreme level of stress that is reached when working so hard to both write AND record an album. But I wouldn’t trade it for the world.”

Defeater will be on tour with Carpathian next month. You can check out the tracklisting for “Empty Days and Sleepless Nights” here.

Someone has a little too much time on their hands… Telegraph reports that up to 30 anonymous pieces of hate mail have been delivered to residents of Burton Bradstock in Dorset England. The letters demand that they kick musician/ activist Billy Bragg out of  the village for being hypocritically living in a £1.5 million house despite holding socialist political views.

Billy Bragg believes the letters are the work of a disgruntled BNP supporter.

His latest album, Mr. Love and Justice, was released on ANTI- Records in 2008.

  1. He IS a massive hypocrite and worst of all a government stooge. A millionaire supporting right wingers like Starmer. Disgusting specimen.

Margate have released a video for their cover of The Beatles’ classic tune “Eleanor Rigby” in their latest installment of their “Live from Room 57” series.  I’ve always loved this song and this cover is pretty rad.  You can check it out right here.

The band says they will be recording a studio version of the song for their new EP “Rock ‘n Roll Reserve,” slated for release the Spring.

Each Friday for 30 weeks the band will post a new video that features a live performance by the band with “no overdubs, auto-tune or studio trickery” involved. That’s right, just live, raw and awesome punk-rock.

Margate’s last album “On The Other Side” came out in August of 2009, and you can download it, as well as the audio for all of the Room 57 Sessions, on their website for the price of “Pay what you want”.
