Screamo quintet, Confide, have officially announced their plans to part ways, according to an article posted by Alt Press.  Confide frontman Ross Kenyon states, “I want to let our fans know that the breakup is a positive thing and that everyone in the band is still friends without any hard feelings.  We decided Confide would come to an end after our Japan tour in early October.”  Although they will officially split upon their return from Japan, the band intend to play some West Coast farewell shows to show appreciation for their fans.

Confide released their latest LP, Recover, in May of this year on Tragic Hero Records.

– Plague Allegiance booklet

Golliwog released their latest album, “Plague Alligence,” earlier this year.

Good Fight Music have annouced the latest addition to their roster, The Chariot. The label also announced that the Georgia-based band will be releasing their next full-length, “Long Live”, on November 23rd, 201o. Vocalist Josh Scogin had this to say about their upcoming album:

“This is easily my favorite material that we have ever written for an album. I believe it is the most passionate release we have ever done, as well as the most impulsive. All of our records have a very spontaneous pulse to them, the songs are always in a constant state of evolving and growing, but for the songs for Long Live, we literally just let go. It was a very natural process and I think that comes across in the music.”

If that wasn’t exciting enough, the label also released a small teaser video which you can check out here.

The Chariot released their last album, “Wars And Rumors Of Wars”,  was released last year on Solid State.

Silverstein has confirmed their appearance at next year’s Soundwave Festival. The band had this to say about the news:

We have some exciting news for our fans down under – we will finally be returning to Australia in the new year for the 2011 Soundwave Festival! We took part of this amazing event back in ’09, and are very excited to be playing it again. The line-up is pretty insane and tickets are going quickly.

For the rest of our fans, we’ll be announcing more tour dates soon, so check back often. Much love to all of you, hope you’re having a wonderful fall!

Silverstein is the latest addition to the festival’s already enormous line up which include the likes of H2O, Bring Me the Horizon, Pennywise, Sum 41 and even Iron Maiden.

Antillectual have posted another new song off their upcoming album Start From Scratch. The song is titled “Chinese Takeover” and you can give it a listen (as well check out the liner notes and lyrics) here.

The band had this to say on the song:

Remember that ‘new’ Guns n’ Roses album? Not so happy how it turned out? Neither were we, and we somehow managed to link our discontent to the uprise of the economies in the Orient. Seriously though, this song is about the effects of the ever growing economies on that side of the world on the western world. To put it in Johan Cruijff’s words: “to every advantage, there is a disadvantage” (or something … ).

Our guest is Lenneke Knape. She works with bands like NOFX and Blink 182, runs Rockit Promotions, used to host “Witlof” on KinkFM and was kind enough to share some of her experience with us while we were planning the release of our album. Our appearance at the Groezrock festival earlier this year for example was largely thanks to her efforts.

“Start From Scratch” is planned for a November 1 release and until then the band will be streaming one new song from the album each week.

The band’s last album Testimony was released in 2008.

My Chemical Romance have unveiled the cover art to their highly anticipated fourth full-length, “Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys”. You can check it out right here.

The album is set to hit stores on November 22nd of 2010.

My Chemical Romance released their last album, “The Black Parade,” in 2006.
