New York hardcore heavyweights Madball have posted the title track from their upcoming album Empire. Listen to it here. The album will be released on October 12th through Good Fight Music. You can check out another song from Empire called R.A.H.C. on the band’s MySpace.

The album will be the band’s eighth full-length album and a follow up to their 2007 release “Infiltrate the System” on Ferret Music. They are currently touring Europe, Canada and the U.K. so check out their Dying Scene shows page for dates and locations.

Pop punk legends Screeching Weasel are reissuing their 1998 album “Television City Dream” on Fat Wreck Chords November 8th.  The album is getting a full makeover: re-mix, re-mastering, and updated art. Most intriguing is that there were 5 songs from the TVCD session that were not included with the original release, but they are now back where they belong, re-sequenced into a 20-song opus and set. Check out what Ben Weasel had to say about the release below:

“The album sounds great now, like it was supposed to. I love the new art. The record never got its due, in part because it didn’t sound right. I always felt it was an underrated record”

Here at Dying Scene, we’ve teamed up with the guys over at PunkVideosRock.com to bring you our first ever exclusive content series which we’ve dubbed the Dying Scene Sessions (yeah, we’re starting to feel like actual professionals!) The series will feature acoustic sets from some of our favorite punk acts and we’re stoked to start the series off with a performance by The Briggs lead singer Joey Briggs.

We thought the first post was so good that we had to do it all over again…But this time with something a little different. Consider this one the iTunes deluxe version because we’ve included a 5th, unreleased video of Joey performing a song solo and outdoors! But the best part of this is that it’s free! During the Sessions, he performs a couple of songs off his debut solo release Politics, Touring, And Self-Loathing, as well as a cover of a traditional Irish folk song. You can check out the 4 videos and the unreleased one here.

Antillectual are streaming the sixth new song off their upcoming album Start From Scratch. The song is titled “Kraken Gaat Door” and you can give it a listen (as well check out the liner notes and lyrics) here.

Says the band of the song:

I guess you could call this our most “sing-along-able” song. Even though sing-alongness isn’t necessarily a recommendation for a song. But when fighting the Dutch anti-squatting law, you need to sing and stand together.

“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.

Swedish punk ‘n roll act, Chuck Norris Experiment, are releasing a brand new album titled “Dead Central” in November on I Hate People Records.  You can check out the cover art right here and stream the track “Psycho Man” from the album on the band’s MySpace page.
