Senses Fail have revealed that they plan on releasing their fourth studio album The Fire on October 19th via Vagrant Records.

For all you Aussie Senses Fail fans, the band will be playing down under for the majority of August with plans for a North American (re: US) tour shortly after. The dates for the US tour will be released sometime later this week or early next. Check out the Aussie dates here.

Senses Fail’s last album, Life Is Not A Waiting Room, was released in 2008 on Vagrant.

According to his Twitter, Aaron Gillsepie, former drummer/clean vocalist for Underoath, has completed his new solo record. No word on what it’s called or when it’s going to be released, just that it’s “so great to be a part of.”

Keep checking back here for more information as it becomes available.

How often do you see bands writing open letters to their fans justifying their new record, weeks before it’s scheduled to drop? that’s what Punchline bassist/vocalist Chris Fafalios did.

In the letter, Chris goes on to say how this is their best record yet, how they made a record that was what they are (pop-punk) instead of what they aren’t (hip hop or modern rock), and how everyone involved was at the high-point of their musical abilities and careers. Go ahead and read it for yourself here. Too long, didn’t read? The band wants you to check the album out, that you’ll love it. Oh, and that their fans are the greatest!

The band will be releasing their new album, Delightfully Pleased, August 10th on Modern Short Stories and TDR Records. [Read more…]

Craig Owens announced via twitter:

here we go! packing up & moving to LA for a while. it’s time to begin my new record.

Much to the horror of his many fans Owens was kicked out of his former band, Chiodos, last year but the former lead singer quickly rose from the ashes to start a new band (still unnamed) and sign to a major label.

Fake Problems are streaming a brand new song on their MySpace page.  It’s titled Soulless and it will appear on the folk-punk band’s upcoming album Real Ghosts Caught On Tape.  You can also download the song for free on the band’s website (you have to give them your email or a facebook status update).

The Aggrolites released their last album, IV, last summer on Hellcat Records.

Nearly two weeks ago, it was reported that Pennywise were forced to push back the release of their next album to 2011, due to commitments with this year’s Warped Tour. In an interview with Broward-Palm Beach New Times, gutiarist Fletcher Dragge sets the record straight:

“We’re kinda hoping for pre-Christmas, but it’s looking like first of the year, somewhere around the beginning January hopefully at this point, with the way that everything’s going and scheduling.”

Fletcher was also asked if Pennywise were finished writing new songs and have been in the studio recording them:

“We actually just keep writing. We write all the way until we get in the studio, ’cause you never know when you’re gonna come up with a song. We’ve come up with songs the day before we walk into the studio that end up being title tracks on the record. But there are a lot of bands that just pick like 10 songs or 12 songs, and they keep on working on them and working on them until they get good enough to put on the albums, but we just keep writing and writing. Probably at this point we have about 40 or 50 songs. Yeah, it’s crazy. We just get a verse and a chorus together, basically, and if that passes the test, then we build a branch and an alto and throw in all that stuff. So then we do like half the song, and if we like it, we’ll keep working on it. We have lots to choose from that way. We’re constantly trying to better what we already have.”

Whenever the new record comes out, not only will it be the follow-up to 2008’s Reason to Believe, but it will also be the band’s first release with Ignite’s Zoli Teglas as the replacement for original vocalist Jim Lindberg, who left the band last year and is now in The Black Pacific.
