Random Orbits are offering a free download of their entire debut album Safety Meeting right here.  Fans of melodic, fast punk rock should give it a listen.

The Living End are currently writing and demoing for their 6th studio album.  Here’s a tidbit from lead singer Chris Cheney:

It’s never been the easiest task to write on the road so we didn’t know quite how the first round would turn out. We were pleasantly surprised. It’s hard to describe how they sound but we can say that we’re really excited thus far. Some are very TLE sounding and some are not, but we’ve been pushing ourselves to keep it powerful, epic and above all else ROCKIN’! There are some definite stand outs and they quite possibly the most simple songs we’ve ever written which has been very liberating.

A couple of songs have almost an INXS like dance feel (don’t worry it also has a metal sounding guitar riff!! It’s all good!) One that has a very early Oils flavor and a couple are just big and anthemic.

Its a mixed bag but overall they have a very positive flavor to them.

Seems like I Am Ghost is having a blast on tour. The band just announced that they will be heading to Europe in April, only one month after wrapping up their U.S. tour. This will be the bands first ever headlining tour in Europe and the band couldn’t be happier. Here’s what frontman, Steve Juliano had to say:

“This will be our third time now overseas, and this one is very special to us since it’s our very first headlining European tour. We have learned so much from the past two times being over there, and it always brings us a huge smile to come back. The scene in Europe and UK is amazing, and the love and respect we get over there is why we keep doing I Am Ghost”.

The band will be joined by Four Letter Lie, Eyes Set to Kill and many more. Check out the dates and details on their Dying Scene Shows page.

More Pennywise news today. The band just announced the dates for two blocks of shows. One here in California/Nevada and another in Europe. The band will be joined on tour by A Wilhelm Scream, Strike Anywhere and TSOL.
