Asian Man Records has been around for 15 years. Well, almost. Mike Park, the head of the label, has set aside June 16-18 of next year to celebrate in San Francisco, CA at The Parkside and The Bottom Of The Hill. Mike’s goal is to get every band that has released releases (wow, that’s redundant) on Asian Man to play the celebration. The shows at both venues will be playing simultaneously, but if you go see it, you’ll get a wristband to get into both shows.

More details in the coming eight months.

Los Angeles hardcore act Touche Amore has joined the ranks of Deathwish Inc. After finishing up their European tour, Touche Amore will be recording their first Deathwish Inc., which is due out early 2011. More news on that when we get more information.

Minneapolis’ punk group Dear Landlord have a treat for their fans: They are headed to Chicago at the beginning of next month (December) to record four new songs they call follow-up tracks to their latest album Dream Homes. Two of these songs will be on a 7″ spilt with The Dopamines, and that is to be released early next year on Paper + Plastick. The other two will be on another split, this time with Toys That Kill, to be released early next year on No Idea Records.

The reasoning behind this batch of new songs to be recorded is simple: Drummer Brad explains, “With only 763 days until the Mayan calendar ends, we are trying to make the most of the time we have left as a band.” That’s completely logical.

While in Chicago, Dear Landlord is going to be playing a show on December 5th at the Subterranean with Chinese Telephones, Vacation Bible School, and No Enemy.

According to an update made today on Blink 182 co-vocalist Mark Hoppus’s blog, things in the studio are moving along steadily with the new Blink album.  He gives some insight on the direction the coming album’s sound stating:

“There’s still a long to way to go before the album is done, but already it seems like the songs are both taking a step even further than we took on the last album, while also going back to the sound of some of the earlier albums.”

Hmmm… Stating you’re progressing in your sound and in the same sentence also stated your going back to you roots sounds like standard marketing bullshit so I personally will hold judgement until I can listen to something.

Regarding when fans can expect the much anticipated album he writes:

“We have a date for the completion of the album. We want to deliver the record in April or May, for release very soon afterward.”

Blink’s last release (self-titled) came out four score + seven years ago, minus four score, on Geffen Records.

Wade states:

Two new songs to wet your whistle!  If any of you have seen Black Lungs play in the last year you will know that I’ve cranked up the volume on all the songs off Send Flowers when I play live.  The new 7″ is going further in that direction. Valley of the Dolls is fast and ugly sounding and it’s available for pre-order now from Deranged Records.  500 copies on yellow vinyl.  Get them while the getting is good.

Black Lungs released their debut album Send Flowers in 2008 on Dine Alone Records.
