Buffalo metal core act Every Time I Die have gone and done it this time. In a campaign to promote their new DVD entitled “Shit Happens“, they have been tearing up their Twitter account by falsely retweeting A-list celebs in what could be the funniest marketing ploy by a band I’ve seen in a long time.  You can view what is causing this commotion on their Twitter page.

You can pre-order the DVD here which will be released through Epitaph Records.

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.

Since MySpace and Spin have been kicking out Bad Religion cover songs by different bands every day for the last week we thought we’d throw our own BR cover into the mix.  This week’s random cover is the original Sublime doing Bad Religion’s “We’re Only Gonna Die” off their 1982 album “How Could Hell Be Any Worse?”. I think it’s pretty awesome.  Check out Sublime’s version and compare it to the original right here.

The Weakerthans are the latest band to uncover their contribution to the Bad Religion tribute album, “Germs Of Perfection.”  They do a pretty interesting rendition of “Sanity” off Bad Religion’s 1989 classic album “No Control” and you can stream it right here.

Germs Of Perfection is an exclusive Bad Religion tribute album featuring 15-or-so contributing artists.  Over the next three weeks, MySpace will be posting one song a day (barring weekends) to stream.  On 19 October, the entire album will be available as a free download through both MySpace Music and SPIN.com.

New York hardcore act Madball have posted, “All Or Nothing,” a new song from their upcoming album “Empire,” on their MySpace page.

The album will be released on October 12th through Good Fight Music and will be the band’s eighth full-length album and a follow up to their 2007 release “Infiltrate the System” on Ferret Music.

Ever wonder where some bands come up with their band names?  Well, we do, and we’re sick of sitting around scratching our heads about it.  We’re hitting the streets (aka. “Internet”) to find the origins behind some of the more bizarre, intriguing or just plain random band names in the scene.  Every Wednesday we’ll be pulling the curtain back on a different band and this week it’s Swedish hardcore kings Raised Fist.

Their name was inspired by the 1992 Rage Against The Machine song “Know Your Enemy”. Specifically, it was taken from the opening line “Born with insight and a Raised Fist.” Check out the song here.

Here’s what the label has to say about the release:

Heart to Grow is the band’s third full-length release, and filled to the brim with youthful energy, uncertain futures, and joyful sing-alongs that are undeniably infectious and catchy.
