Chicago melodic punk act Counterpunch (ex members of Break the Silence) has signed to UK label Disconnect Disconnect Records.  In October the band will be doing a European release of their new album ‘Heroes and Ghosts’ with the label followed by a three week European tour. You can stream four tracks off the new album on their MySpace.

Not sure what this means for a US release but will keep you posted.

The band released their self-titled full length album in 2007.

Florida’s Poison The Well have decided to step back from being a full-time band in order to pursue some other opportunities. The band has been together since 1997, and released 5 full-length albums. Their most recent release, The Tropic Rot, came out last year on Ferret Records. Their first album, 1999’s The Opposite of December, received critical acclaim as a seminal hardcore album.

Throughout their years together, PTW went through several lineup changes, with guitarist Ryan Primack and drummer Chris Hornbrook being the only two founding members currently in the band, although vocalist Jeffery Moreira has been on all 5 full-lengths. No word on when they’re planning to get back together, but rest assured that we’ll keep our ears to the ground.
