Spanish melodic hardcore band Saldos Arias are giving away a free download of their 2 last albums Nadie Alrededor ( Dpc Records 2006 ) and Rey de Nada ( Dpc Records 2008 ).  Download here and here respectively.

Saldos Arias was formed in 2004 and fit the bill nicely for a 90’s Fat/Epitaph band.  Sorta the Spanish equivalent of German punk band Wizo.

The band is currently working on their new full-length and a special split album with the Spanish Hardcore Band RFT.

The Jukebox Romantics are an incredibly busy band and if you haven’t seen this energetic ska-punk five-some yet, chances are you will soon.  Having recently released their debut full-length on Altercation Records, the band has been touring relentlessly, getting themselves featured in Amp Magazine along the way, and they’re showing no signs of slowing down.  They’ll be playing at SXSW soon and then joining the 2010 Warped Tour, but that’s not before they kick off their Lone Star Tour beginning today.  With so much activity we counted ourselves lucky to catch up the fellas for a little Q&A, but catch up with them we did and you can check it out here.

Pennywise frontman Zoli Teglas, a volunteer for the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, has joined forces with the Pelican Rescue Team to speak out against whale-serving Santa Monica, CA, sushi restaurant, The Hump (2.5 stars?  Should be avoided just based off of that).

The peaceful protest will be held from 1130am-2pm this Friday at the restaurant and has received approval from the SMPD.  Inspiration for the protest came as The New York Times released an article stating that The Hump is in violation of the Marine Mammal Protection Act through their serving whale meat.
