Chicagoland punk band The Brokedowns are streaming “Celebrity Death Panel” and “I’m A Ritual” on their MySpace page.  Both songs will appear on the band’s upcoming Red Scare debut, “Species Bender”, slated for release on September 14th.

The Brokedown’s last full-length album was their 2007 release New Brains for Everyone, which came out on Thick Records.

Michigan post-hardcore band Chiodos are streaming a new song on their MySpace profile. It’s titled “Those Who Slay Together, Stay Together” and it will appear on the band’s upcoming album lluminaudio, due out October 5 through Equal Vision Records.

This is the band’s follow-up to 2007’s Bone Palace Ballet and will be their first album with new frontman Brendan Bolmer. Former singer Craig Owens was dismissed from the band last September.

Lagwagon frontman Joey Cape has released another song from his new solo release, Doesn’t Play Well With Others. The song is titled The Greatest Generation and it can be bought in his online store. Here’s what he had to say about the song,

“I wrote the song about the obvious, my grandparents’ generation, the World War II generation, often referred to as the greatest generation. Although I know it is not altogether true it just seems that my generation is missing anyone or anything worthy of such a title. Granted this is mostly perspective. Regardless, the common courtesies and simple pleasures of that era seem to have all but vanished.”

Each month, Joey will be releasing one song from the new recording until all 12 have been delivered at which point the CD/LP will be unleashed.  So far 9 tracks have been released and all can be purchased on Joey’s website.

Century Media has posted a trailer for the upcoming Terror album Keepers of the Faith. The trailer includes a preview of each song on the album. Check it out here.

Keepers Of The Faith will be released September 14th and will be the follow up to 2008’s The Damned, The Shamed.

The band has some U.S. tour dates lined up. Check out their Dying Scene shows page for dates and locations.

Oklahoma’s Red City Radio has officially joined the Paper + Plastick family. The band entered the studio last week to record their Paper + Plastick debut with labelmate and friend Stephen Egerton (of Descendents and ALL), at his Armstrong Recordings studio in Tulsa, OK. Aptly titled The Dangers Of Standing Still, Red City Radio will be road-testing a handful of new songs on tour with The Riot Before in October, and performing at The Fest, before heading out with Outbreak in November (tour dates to be announced shortly). Slated for release later this year on Paper + Plastick, The Dangers Of Standing Still is the follow-up to 2009’s breakthrough EP, We Are the Sons of Woody Guthrie, which the band also recorded with Egerton.

“When I heard the bands first EP I was blown away,” admits Paper + Plastick’s Vinnie Fiorello. “Listening to it on a burned CD in my car heading through Gainesville, it seemed like the perfect soundtrack at the time, with layers of vocals, soaring melodies and lyrics I wish I wrote myself. Red City Radio made my ‘must listen to everyday’ list. The songs demanded repeated listening.”

Building on their gruff, hook-laden blend of punk rock, guitarist/vocalist Paul Pendley confides, “On the new album, we don’t think there will be a huge sonic departure from our EP, though it will sound a little more polished. For the most part, the songs follow a similar template as our EP – big choruses, big hooks, but with some new surprises.” Recently gracing the cover of their hometown paper, The Oklahoma Gazette, Red City Radio once again enlisted fellow Oklahoman Stephen Egerton to record the new album. “He’s great at getting the very best performances out of you, while still maintaining the sense of what you’re going for stylistically,” adds bassist/vocalist Jonathan Knight. “If you play in a punk rock band, and have the chance to work with him, you should. Period.”

Last June, we  informed you that upstate New York hardcore act Casting Curses were working on a yet to be titled EP. Well now the band has announced that they have been signed to Panic Records and the EP will be called Cold All Over Again.

A pre-order will be made available soon. Until then you can stream the first song from the EP called American Ignorance right here.

The release will be a follow up to the 2009 EP Heartificial.

Casting Curses features former members of the hardcore band Attitude and Outbreak.

If you were bummed that Jonesin’ was only streaming 3 of the 4 songs on their MySpace from their upcoming 7-inch “The Dream Is Dead” then today is your lucky day.  The 4th song, “(Take Me To The) Antique Roadshow” is now streaming right here along with the other 3 songs from the release.

The album is due out later this summer on Traffic Street Records, Dirt Cult, Muy Autentico, and No Breaks (yeah, its a reverse split!).

Ever wonder what it would sound like if an emo/pop-punk band covered Outkast’s popular song “Roses”?  Us too.  Everyday.  But the wondering is over cuz The Maine has done it!  Check it out here.

The Maine released their last album, Black And White, July 13th on Warner Brothers Records.

And we’re just going to keep it coming with the full album streams.  This one is from Montreal punk (sometimes ska) act Brixton Robbers who I don’t think enough of you know about.  Their album “Rocks And Cranes” was released one year ago and if you don’t know the band now’s your chance to get acquainted – the full album is streaming right here.

Fans of the Flatliners should check these guys out.
