Last week, For.The.Win celebrated the release of their new self-titled album with a headlining record release show at Nickel City in San Jose. Gnarboots, The Atom Age, and Classics of Love started the night out with a diverse array of punk rock noise, warming the crowd up and getting them moving. For.The.Win played a great set of primarily new songs, after which Dying Scene was able to talk with the entire band about the new album, the difficulties they faced without a full-time bassist, and what we can expect from the guys in the future. Read the entire interview here.

If you haven’t picked up the new For.The.Win album, head to the band’s MySpace page to give it a listen!

We wrote you a couple of weeks ago that Taking Back Sunday planned to tour extensively after they finish recording their new album with the reunited lineup.

Well, today the band announced a 5-date mini tour of the Northeastern states, and ONE Los Angeles date, in late June.

If you like to buy or sell punk related things online (from show tickets to albums) then this will be of interest to you:

Limited Pressing has just done a complete redesign of their site which includes  a new store type for Ticket Selling, full color and CSS customization for all stores, an integrated digital download system, and a bunch of other cool stuff.

In honor of their relaunch, they’re offering our readers any store free for one year if you use the promo code DYINGSCENE. Keep in mind that Limited Pressing webstores are more than just for selling products. They’re like a mini website. For you bands and label owners reading this, it means your “wbstore” can have music players, news that can be followed by any user, a dedicated discography section, as well as separate pages for all your bands. This is on top of Unlimited Product selling and management, which is currently offered no where on the Internet.

The stores are free for 1 year so get over to the stores section and pick one up.

Tit Patrol has apparently sold out of their 2009 release Gets Less Worse so they’ve decided to just start giving it away for free right here instead.  These guys obviously didn’t take Econ 101.

The Lawrence Arms have announced a May 19th benefit show at The Subterranean in their hometown of Chicago. All proceeds from the gig will benefit two women who were recently victims of a late night assault while walking home. One of the women remains in a coma, while the other is severely injured. Bassist/vocalist Brendan Kelly had this to say,

“As someone who’s stumbled home from my share of bars at 330 in the morning, I feel a deep connection to this plight. I’ve been speaking with my co-conspirators and we all feel terrible. SO, here’s what we’re gonna do: Me and my friend Chris and my friend Neil (both fellow stumbling-home-in-Chicago enthusiasts) are going to get together one night and play some songs that we’ve written for anyone who wants to pay to come see us do it. We’ll be calling ourselves the Lawrence Arms, we’ll be performing at the Subterranean on Wednesday the 19th of May. The show will be 17+ and every single dime of the money will go to these girls to help them with their bills and their rehab and…fuck, honestly, I don’t even care what they do with the money. If they need some hot fudge sundaes, fine. Go for it, get the biggest fucking hot fudge sundaes you can get. It’s the least we can do as a city, right? Of course it is.”

More show details are available here.

The band last release was their Buttsweat and Tears EP on Fat Wreck Chords.
