Chicago punkers The Arrivals have posted another track from their upcoming full-length – the track Two Years is now up on the band’s MySpace page. The album, titled Volatile Moltov, will hit the streets on October 5 through Recess Records.

We previously announced the album’s cover art (it’s right <– there) and track listing here.  The album is the band’s follow-up to 2007’s Marvels of Industry. The boys just wrapped a tour and will have a few more dates in support of the new release before playing Fest 9 in Gainesville. Get the dirt on upcoming shows here.

Maine hardcore band Cruel Hand has just announced that they will be kicking off their first headlining tour next month, to promote their latest album, Lock & Key, which was released June 27 on Bridge Nine Records.

Be sure to head here to stay up to date with all of Cruel Hand’s tour dates and locations.

Two months ago we reported that Good Riddance was putting their new album, Capricorn One, online and available to stream. The album is still up for all you slackers, and this time it’s accompanied by a little interview with vocalist Russ Rankin and guitarist Luke Pabich, on AMP Magazine‘s website.

The majority of the interview centers on the sentiments and processes behind the production of the album, and how the band has evolved over the years. However, the guys discuss in detail the reasons and situations that led to the demise of the band, as well as their current and future projects.

Read the entire interview here.

Chicago-based punk band Rise Against have announced details about their upcoming DVD titled Another Station, Another Mile. The DVD will be released on October 5, 2010 on DGC/Interscope Records and will be available worldwide and also digitally through iTunes. It features performances of 14 songs recorded in locations throughout the world. These performances are interspersed with interviews with each band member of the band revealing the creative process that goes into making a Rise Against song and the history of each individual band member.

Here’s what the band had to say about the DVD,

“Since we put together our last DVD, the snowball that is Rise Against is still gathering size and speed.  What you hold in your hands is the continuing story of our band, what it means to us, and what it means to people like you. At our request, all the live footage you see in the DVD is completely unedited; meaning we didn’t go back and fix or re-do anything. We felt it should stand or fall on its own merit, and be embraced for what is, which is live music. Who knows, maybe we’ll feel differently next year. But for now, the moments are captured raw as we make our way to another station: another mile.”

To view the DVD tracklist and a new clip from the DVD go here.

New York based punk label State Of Mind Recordings have posted a free sampler download titled Hectic Thinking Sampler. Contributing artists include Rust Belt Lights, Daggermouth, This Is Hell,  Broadway Calls (Unreleased song) and more.

Grab your download of the 16 track sampler here.

Well this is interesting.  Despite the fact that there is absolutely no mention of this anywhere on Paper+Plastick‘s side, it would appear that Buffalo melodic hardcore / pop-punk act Rust Belt Lights will be releasing a digital EP with the label sometime in the near future.  How do we know?  Cuz we’re punk rock psychics, that’s how! …  And the band has a giant banner on their MySpace page that says “NEW DIGITAL EP OUT NOW ON PAPER AND PLASTICK RECORDS”.  A bit misleading since we can’t seem to find the EP on the P+P website but I expect Paper+Plastick will announce it and have it up soon.

Oh!  The band is also streaming a brand new song from the mysterious EP on their MySpace titled “Fortyfive.”

Rust Belt Lights released their debut EP, Long Gone, last July on State Of Mind Recordings.

Hell.  Yes.  Massachusetts aggressive punk act No Trigger are back in action.  More than 4 years after the release of their debut full-length album “Canyoneer”, the original lineup has finally returned from their side projects and/or real jobs to announce not one, but two brand new releases.  The first will be a 7-inch titled “Be Honest,” slated for release this Fall on Mightier Than Sword Records.  The next is a full-length, which fans can expect out in 2011 on a yet to be determined label.

You can get all that info in a much cooler format (and with a lot of cool punk rock cameos) in this video.

No Trigger’s last album, “Canyoneer,” was released in March, 2006 on Nitro Records.
