Small Brown Bike have entered the studio to begin work on their new album for No Idea Records. Fans of the band can stay updated with what’s going on by checking out their studio blog.

The band has released a couple of 7″ these past 2 years. In 2009, the band released  Composite (Vol. 1) that included the tracks When We Run and Hourglass and earlier this year, they released Composite (Vol. 2) that included Some Optomistic and Never Walk This Alone.

Keep checking back here at Dying Scene as more information on the album becomes available.

A Skylit Drive have announced that they are entering the studio in September to record the follow up to their 2009 release Adelphia.  The album will be recorded with Cameron Webb (Motorhead, Silverstein) in Santa Monica and is set to be released in early 2011.

Guitarist Nick Miller had this to say about the direction of the album,

“So far, the main difference between working on the new album and Adelphia is that we’ve had so much more time and so much more fun writing this record. The new jams are so much more rockin’ and we can’t wait for the new energy that we are going to bring to the new songs.”

A Day To Remember stopped by KROQ studios in Los Angeles and performed a 3-song acoustic set. The set included the songs Have Faith In Me, Homesick, and Monument. Click here to check it out.
