You can stream a 30 second preview of Mayday Parade‘s contribution to the Punk Goes Classic Rock compilation right here.  They’re doing We Are The Champions by Queen and I’m not really sure why this one is only 30 seconds when they’ve already streamed the full versions of 2 other tracks but whatevs.

Punk Goes Classic Rock is the next installment in the Fearless Records “Punk Goes…” series and it hits stores April 27th.

You can check out the latest music video from The Johnstones right here.  It’s for the song Gimme Your Love (Or Gimme Some Money) off their latest album, “Can’t Be Trusted”, which was released in September 2009 on Stomp Records.  The video is shot in a strip club, but there’s something amiss with the strippers…

Dutch punkrockers Dysfunctional Kid have announced plans to release their first 7″ record via Suburban Sultan Records in August of 2010.  The band starts recording in June at their friend’s house with producer Patrick The Lad, who’s been at the controls for their split with Gino’s Eyeball (2009).

A European tour will take place on the last two weeks of August, to promote the new 7″, through France, Spain, Portugal, Belgium and their homeland of The Netherlands.

It’s time once again to reward you readers with another free album download.  This time its from a band called Mixtapes and if you’re in to very poppy-punk I highly recommend you give these guys a listen.  10 songs in less than 20 minutes and if you play the song Nothing Can Kill The Grimace at full blast I don’t know how you won’t fall in love with the band.

To get the album, go to the band’s MySpace page and click the album cover in their “About” section.

Cleveland hardcore-punk act American Werewolves have signed to Warbird Entertainment.  The label has recently announced that the band will be releasing their Warbird debut album titled Wanderers Forever later this spring.

So apparently Slash of Guns N’ Roses fame has a new album coming out next week creatively titled “Slash”.  Sorta interesting – but that’s not the point of the post – this is:  One of the songs on the coming album features vocals from Avenged Sevenfold lead singer M Shadows and you can stream it right here.  The song is titled Nothing To Say and may as well be directly off Avenged Sevenfold’s last album.  Give it a listen and tell me I’m wrong.

Avenged Sevenfold are reportedly working on a new full-length album of their own – no word yet on a release date.

The folks at Bridge Nine Records have just announced a new addition to their growing family of talented musicians. This newest addition comes from Atlanta, Georgia in the form of sXe hardcore band, Foundation. The band plans on going on tour in May, and then fans can expect a new, full-length album to be in the works shortly thereafter.

Foundation currently has two 7″ releases out on Six Feet Under Records. Read the full press release from Bridge Nine Records here.

The guys also talk about their latest album, Make Your Own History, which came out last year on Sumerian Records. The video is really cool, and includes a bunch of live footage from one of their shows in Omaha, Nebraska. Check it out here.

Every Friday the punk rock geniuses here at Dying Scene are going to unleash a little bit of punk scene trivia all over your asses.  Today’s “fun factoid” is about Sublime with Rome (Sublime v.2.0) and a song which they refuse to play:

It’s been 14 years since Sublime‘s singer Bradley Nowell died of a Heroine overdose.  After Nowell’s death, the remaining members disbanded until about a year ago when they added a new singer (Rome Ramirez) to fill the rather large shoes of Nowell.  With Ramirez on the mic, the band began playing again under their former name Sublime until the Nowell family sued them for use of the moniker and a judge officially banned them from using it.  Now they’re performing under the name “Sublime With Rome”, and while the band does have the right to play any of the original Sublime songs, there is one song that Rome feels is off limits out of respect for Brad. The song Caress Me Down contains the lyrics “Mucho gusto, me llamo Bradley”, which all you German speakers out there know means “Nice to meet you, my name is Bradley.”  Rome says that he doesn’t feel comfortable saying his name is Bradley and definitely doesn’t feel comfortable changing the lyrics to a song Nowell wrote so for those of you that were hoping to hear the hit sung live once more there’s only one thing to say to console yourselves: Respect!
