Slapshot writing new material and playing this summer

It’s been a couple of months since we’ve heard something from Slapshot but their silence has definitely been productive.

slapshot-logoIt’s been a couple of months since we’ve heard something from Slapshot but their silence has definitely been productive.

According to a MySpace blog update, they write:

The band is writing some of the best shit we have ever done, we are taking our time on this one.

We have 1 show booked for this summer so far and are looking to do a few more.

So with that said, keep your eyes on the lookout for Slapshot in 2010!

Slapshot’s last album Tear It Down came out on Thorp Records in 2005.

Against Me! studio update has a good acoustic preview of new song

Against Me! is releasing their new album White Crosses in “early June”.  So far the band hasn’t released any of the new tracks but this studio update has a pretty good sample of what must be an acoustic version of one of them. White Crosses is the much anticipated follow-up to 2007’s New Wave.

hellcat4After years of speculation, English hardcore band GBH has announced plans to release their eleventh studio album, Perfume and Piss, via Hellcat Records on April 6.  You can get a sampling of what’s to come by checking out the album track Kids Get Down on the Hellcat MySpace page.

From the press release:

Barn-burning, fist-pumping, palace-gates-storming tracks like “Kids Get Down,” “Cadillac One” and “This is Not the Real World” carry the torch forward with the band’s trademark fury that is alternately nihilistic, optimistic, pessimistic, anarchist, violent, humorous and deadly serious all at once.

Perfume and Piss is, in the band’s own words, the “best album we’ve done in a long, long time.” The album was created in fits and starts (two weeks on, two weeks off) which allowed them to fine-tune the material and compose a more complete feeling album. “We’re really pleased with it.”

Rise Against has a new VANS shoe

Rise Against has a new VANS shoe

I’ve never really been a big “shoe guy”.  I mean, I wear them, yes – pretty much daily.  But I don’t rush down to stores to get limited edition versions of them.  Just not my thing.  But it is for some of you, and some of you shoe fanatics might also be big Rise Against […]

rise-against-shoeI’ve never really been a big “shoe guy”.  I mean, I wear them, yes – pretty much daily.  But I don’t rush down to stores to get limited edition versions of them.  Just not my thing.  But it is for some of you, and some of you shoe fanatics might also be big Rise Against fans, in which case this post is for you because the band has announced that their latest collaboration with Vans shoes is now available to order.  Do so here.  Weirdos.

Quote from the band: We were so stoked on the last shoe collaboration with VANS and got so much great feedback that we gave it another go, this time with a strikingly different shoe.
