San Pedro’s That’s Incredible is releasing a self-titled 7-inch March 23rd on It’s Alive Records.  The band consists of current and former members of Toys That Kill, The Soviettes, Killer Dreamer and Dick Army.

The four song s/t 7″ will feature 4 new songs, 2 of which you can check out on the band’s MySpace page.

A few months ago Sturg of Star Fucking Hipsters was hit my a vomit bomb while playing a show at the famous Gilman St. venue in Northern California.  If you missed the story you can check out a video of him explaining the incident right here.

The band released their last album Never Rest In Peace last October on Alternative Tentacles.

Sound Cannon are streaming three new tracks on their MySpace page.  They are titled A Treacherous Walk Home, Sunset Eyes, and The Departure and I’m assuming these tracks will appear on the band’s upcoming EP titled Ventris.  According to a blog post from the band back in January the EP should be due out later this month.

Bad Religion is holding it down for the punk scene here on Earth and apparently outer space as well.

Bad Religion guitarist and Epitaph Records founder Brett Gurewitz wrote in a Twitter update earlier today that Bad Religion was going to Mars. When you first read something like that, all you think about is the band conquering the Martian punk scene as they have here on Earth. Just picture Bad Religion rocking out on our red, planetary neighbor. Sweet!

The curious and the imaginative don’t have to wait too long to find out what Brett really meant. Full details were released shortly afterwards in Epitaph’s official blog.

According to the blog post,

“NASA astronaut Jerry Stoces and his son Frederick are both huge Bad Religion fans. Next year Jerry will be heading into space aboard the “Lynx” spacecraft. Throughout his training Jerry tells us he was listening to Bad Religion on his I-Pod. Jerry is also working on the next NASA Mars Rover Mission and was able to add some names to a chip going on the “Curiosity” Rover which will be launching to Mars next year. Embedded in the spacecraft are the names Epitaph Records, Bad Religion, and Greg, Brett, Greg, Jay, Brian and Brooks. Needless to say, everyone at Epitaph and the guys in Bad Religion are more than thrilled – especially science fiction fan Brett.”

There are also some fun little certificates you can print out that show the band will be on the next mission. You can check those out by clicking here for Bad Religion and here for Epitaph.

Old School street-punk band, D.O.A. will be releasing a new studio album entitled Talk – Action = 0 May 1st on Sudden Death Records.  This will be the band’s 13th studio album and according to the label  “It’s a sparkling combo of power, politics and humor; so far people have been calling it a return to the group’s roots.”

Sudden Death records has also recently re-released D.O.A.’s classic 1985 album Let’s Wreck The Party on CD

The band has a handful of upcoming shows schedules so check out their Dying Scene Shows page for dates and locations.

Another band has just reinforced my belief that Sweden is replacing Southern California as the epicenter of good melodic punk rock.  Rebuke hails from the city of Gothenburg, Sweden to be exact, and they have just announced that they are releasing their next full-length album Wouldworks April 5th on Disconnect Disconnect Records.  You can stream and download a new track from the album titled Gonzales right here.

Rebuke released their last album Thank God For Evolution in February 2009.

South London’s Company L are releasing their 6 song EP debut April 5th on Disconnect Disconnect Records.  The release is comprised of remixes of the band’s demo and 3 new tracks.  Here’s what the label has to say about the release:

Company L’s debut EP pays tribute their punk and hardcore heroes, from Consumed to Anti-Flag, and Propagandhi to Bigwig, with lyrics inspired by politics, activism and their local scene.

These guys are definitely worth checking out, especially if you were a fan of Consumed.  You can hear 3 songs off the EP on the band’s MySpace page.

It has come to our attention that Fellow Project and Thousandaires have released a split 7-inch on Kiss Of Death Records.  You can here a song from each bandon their respective MySpace pages here and here.  Kiss Of Death had to say about the release:

Somewhere between angular post-punk and straight up punk rock lays Fellow Project. Featuring members of Bridge and Tunnel, the band’s songs feature jangly riffs, staggered tempos, monumental buildups and good old upbeat sing-alongs with male and female dueling vocals. They sound novel and familiar all at the same time. Thousandaires approach the same idea with a slightly more upbeat and straightforward take. The vocals call to mind early Hot Water Music, but the song writing is less traditional and more punk at the same time. Noodling guitars scale the fretboards, but not in a crummy tech metal way. This shit is still punk.

The Menzingers are streaming a brand new song on their MySpace page.  The track is titled I Was Born and it will appear on the band’s upcoming album Chamberlain Waits, which will be released April 13th on Red Scare Records. Great time to check this band out, if you’re not yet familiar with them…

The Menzingers released the “7 Hold On Dodge last May.

Here’s a new band to check out for all you celtic punk lovers.  Neck hales from London and they have just released their debut full-length, Come Out Fighting, in the US and Canada on Golf Records.  You can get a taste for the band’s sound on their MySpace page and get a free download of one of their new tracks by signing up for their newsletter while you’re there.  Here’s what the band has to say about the release:

It is, without a shadow of a doubt, the best sounding, most powerful album we’ve ever made! He’s given us a new, more focused, lean & muscular sound – & in depth: There’s the usual range of ‘Up & at ’em’ Impassioned Irish Punk Rock Polemic, replete with Pop-tastic Harmonies & the fave Neck ‘Now-you’re-moshing-now-you’re-Riverdancing-now-you’re-moshing-again!’ trick; ‘Necked-up’ Traditional Irish rousers, ballads & Jigs; (& even a sh*ggin’ Irish Power Ballad fer Chrissakes!) – just all louder, clearer, more powerful and more ‘swirlier’!
