Quebec, celtic-punk act Farler’s Fury may have been around since 2003 but this is the first time I’ve heard of them so they feel new to me.  In any case, they have a brand new album called “Pergatory, Quebec,” which appears to be slated for release on October 1st.

There are 4 tracks from the coming album streaming on the band’s MySpace and from the sound of them, this release is going to be a great one for any fan of punk rock + bag pipes.

Florida’s Underoath have just signed to Roadrunner Records for the release of their new album Disambiguation. It will drop on November 9.

The band’s last release, Lost In The Sound Of Separation, came out last September on Tooth & Nail Records.

Brian Robinson (bass/vocals) of A Wilhelm Scream recently appeared on punk radio show We All Fall Down to discuss touring and their upcoming album.  According to him, the band will be heading into the studio in October after they play The Fest in Gainesville.  He discusses a bit about what fans can expect in terms of their sound – loud, fast and “a little bit lower and a little bit heavier.”  You can listen to the whole show here (if you want to just hear the interview skip ahead to the middle).

A Wilhelm Scream released their latest self-titled EP on Paper + Plastick Records last November.  The new album will also appear on P+P.

Punk/hardcore act The Holy Mountain have detailed their most recent release for No Idea Records. “Here is No Exit” will be a picture 12” featuring four new songs recorded at Atomic Audio back in February of 2010. These will be the first new recordings from the band in over three years. Side B is a collection of seven songs from the splits the band previously released with Black Tusk, Cobra Noir, Deathcycle and Cave Canem.

The 12” release date will be later this winter, but the band will have copies with them on the road for their European tour as well as the Europe 2010 Collection tape released by Financial Ruin. The 14 song cassette will be available only on this tour and will be limited to 200 copies. The tape release includes 11 songs from the Here is No Exit 12″ and three demo/unreleased songs. The cassette collects everything recorded from 2006 to 2010.

Every Friday the punk rock geniuses here at Dying Scene are going to unleash a little bit of punk scene trivia all over your asses. Today’s “fun factoid” is about Tim Armstrong and Matt Freeman’s little known band (no, it’s not Devil’s Brigade).

Alright, you’ve heard of Rancid and you’ve heard of Operation Ivy.  You probably also know that Rancid front-man, Tim Armstrong, and Rancid bassist, Matt Freeman, were both in Operation Ivy together.  What you might not know, however, is that after Operation Ivy disbanded, the two musicians actually started a different band before forming Rancid.  It was a punk/ska act called Downfall. They only played three shows but they did record enough tracks for a full-length album, which never saw the light of day.  3 songs, however, did pop up on various compilation albums put out in the early 90s.  Rumors of a CD release called “Get Ready for Action” have been circulating for years but at this point it doesn’t look likely.

Despite last month’s announcement that the band was breaking up, it appears that Second To Last are back in full swing.  To prove it, they’re putting out a new EP titled “Runaway” October 5th on Pure Noise Entertainment.

You can stream the title track of the EP on the band’s MySpace page.

The band released their debut EP “Mark Approved” on Anchor Eighty Four earlier this year.

In what seems to be the label’s first straight up hardcore/punk signing, Rise Records has just announced the addition of Brighton, UK’s Your Demise to their roster.  The band will be releasing a new full-length titled “The Kids We Used To Be” with the label on October 25th.  Until then, you can check out “Miles Away,” a new track from the upcoming album, on the band’s MySpace page.

Your Demise released their last album, “Ignorance Never Dies,” last year.

Orlando pop-punk/emo rock group Amely are streaming their entire debut album, “Hello World,” right here.

The album is being officially released September 14th on Fearless Records.
