Canadian party house The Johnstones have posted a new track up for your eager ears. The track, titled “Let’s Get Fucked Up”, can be found on their MySpace Page.

It’s been about a year since Gainesville folk-punkers, Greenland Is Melting, released their debut full-length “Our Hearts are Gold, Our Grass is Blue” but that doesn’t mean they’ve been inactive.  In fact, the band has recently recorded three traditional songs for an EP titled “Folk Songs From Florida: Volume 1,” which they plan to release for free via Paper+Plastick Records.  Fans will be able to download the EP for free from the P+P or band websites.

To make the release extra special, the folky threesome have recorded live, front porch performances of all 3 songs appearing on the EP. Dying Scene and ThePunkSite.com will be premiering a video for each of them, every week on Tuesday.  Today we have the third, and final, video of the band’s front porch performance and it’s called “Noodlin/Cripple Creek”–two songs in one! Click here to watch the video.

The band has also announced January/February tour dates with Tim Barry.  Check out the dates and locations here. [Read more…]

But before we begin looking to the future, let’s employ a different kind of list to help us appreciate the past. You know what I’m talking about. Yep, a Top Ten list!

Milan, Italy’s Out Of Date have posted several songs off of their upcoming album “D-Side”. Listen to the songs on the band’s Facebook.

The band hopes to have the album out in the early months of 2011. They also mentioned that they have signed to Bells On Records (Japan).

Face to Face frontman Trever Keith has announced on his Twitter last Saturday (January 1st) that they will be embarking on a 20th anniversary tour this year. No official dates have been released yet but, as always, we’ll keep you posted. If you’re too lazy to click the link, then here’s exactly what it says:

“Happy New Year. 2011 marks the 20th anniversary for Face to Face. Looking forward to good stuff this coming year.”

The band, which split in 2004 and reunited in 2008, is releasing its first studio album since 2002 this year. It’s titled Laugh Now, Laugh Later and will be released on Antagonist Records. While the album hasn’t been released yet, they posted a new song from that album called “Should Anything Go Wrong” last October.

Last July, we reported that Sublime With Rome, the new incarnation of Sublime, would begin pre-production on their new album in October. Well, in a recent interview Rome Ramirez has said that the band is taking a break from touring and has recently started working on their debut record (or the first Sublime record in 15 years or whatever). Asked in that interview how the album is sounding, Rome replied:

“It’s sounding great we are getting inspiration from all different genres. It will still sound like Sublime but for a new generation.”

The new record is slated for release this year. It will be the first full-length from the SoCal ska-punk pioneers Sublime since their 1996 multi platinum self-titled album, as well as the first album to be released under the moniker Sublime With Rome and the first to feature Rome as the late Bradley Nowell’s replacement.

Nervous Energies have posted several video performances from Buffalo, New York pop-punk outfit Lemuria and Florida’s folk-punk act Fake Problems.

Check out the videos here.

Lemuria’s upcoming album, Pebble is due out January 11th on Bridge Nine Records. Fake Problems latest album Real Ghosts Caught On Tape was released on September 21st on SideOneDummy Records.
