New Jersey’s Thursday have entered the studio to record their sixth studio album and follow-up to 2009’s critically acclaimed release, Common Existence.

The band will spend the next few months recording at Tarbox Road Studios in Fredonia, NY with Common Existence and A City by the Light Divided producer Dave Fridmann (MGMT, The Flaming Lips, Mogwai) and plan to release the new album in spring 2011 on Epitaph Records.

“We’ve worked with Dave Fridmann before, but this is definitely the most we’ve ever clicked with him,” says singer Geoff Rickly. “In style, this record feels like a radical departure from our earlier records but in substance it feels like a return. The songs are more vulnerable than they’ve been in a long time. Some of the song titles include “A Darker Forest” and “Little Sparks Against the Sun”… It’s very atmospheric and mood oriented so far.”

In a new interview with ThePunkSite.com promoting the Warped Tour, Bryan Kienlen of Bouncing Souls announced details about an upcoming split seven inch with Hot Water Music:

This year The Bouncing Souls and Hot Water Music are going to put out a split. They’re going to cover “True Believers” and I think we’re going to cover “Wayfarer” but we haven’t decided yet. We’re going to cover each other’s songs; put out a split seven inch and we’re going to go on tour in Australia and New Zealand.

On July 14th It’s Alive Records is releasing the self-titled debut full-length album from pop-punk act Fear Of Lipstick.  Until then you can stream a new song off the album titled Summertime on the label’s MySpace page.  Here’s what the label had to say about the release:

Fear Of Lipstick’s self-titled debut album is a slice of everyday life, love and social commentary set to the tune of straight-forward pop punk rock. They play it passionate; giving it all they got. The guitars are loud, bright and punchy as all hell, the bass is fast and frisky, the drums get it done, and the lead vocals go for the guts every time. This is a summertime album all the way. We’ve been in love with this band for a long time now and it’s great to have the honor of releasing their first full-length album. We hope you all love it as much as we do!

If you dig what you hear head over to the band’s MySpace page to stream 4 more tracks from the album.

You can stream a brand new song from The Creeps over on the It’s Alive Records MySpace page.  The song is titled Cold Feet and it will appear on the band’s upcoming 7″ Follow You Home being released on It’s Alive July 14th.  Here’s what the label has to say about the release:

he Creeps have been doing their thing for the better part of a decade now. They get better and better with each release. They’ve been ruling these past couple of years. Follow You Home is The Creeps’ sound perfected! Incredible lead and backing vocals, bright and shiny guitar leads over driving rhythms, thick clean bass lines over precision drum beats… it’s all there. It’s hard to imagine them getting any better than this, but then again it has been and upward trend ever since their beginning. We’re super excited to finally have a record out with these creeps!

You can listen to an additional 2 songs from the 7″ on the band’s MySpace page.  I must admit that until today I hadn’t given these guys a listen but I’m really digging the songs I’m hearing.  Check them out if you aren’t familiar with them.
