After much speculation and some gestures from lead singer Trevor Keith, it seems the stage is set for a Face To Face release of new album for the summer of 2010.  At least according to an announcement on the band’s official website.  We don’t know much more than that but there is also a rumor of Face to Face doing a split with Rise Against soon, so it is hard to tell if this announcement is related.  We’ll keep you posted as details unfold.

Face To Face are currently touring in Japan and will be playing the entire 2010 Warped Tour.

Latin For Truth have added a new track to their MySpace page.  It’s called No Love Lawst and according to their player it will appear on the band’s coming EP Diatribe Or Die.  Not sure when the EP will be released but I think it’s coming soon.

Lower Than Atlantis have posted a new song to their MySpace page.  The track is titled I’m Not Bulimic and it will appear on the band’s upcoming album Far Q, which is due out March 29th (UK) on A Wolf At Your Door Records.

Far Q is the band’s debut release.

Gothic rockers The Deep Eynde have released another song from their upcoming full-length Spell Bound.  The song is titled Save Your Own and you can give it a listen right on the band’s MySpace page.

Spellbound is due out this spring.

Three pounds of beef, nine strips of bacon, four fried eggs, four slices of cheese, and two very large pieces of bread come together to form “The Beast” – the biggest burger you’ve ever seen, served at Plantation, FL restaurant Bokamper’s.  113 people have attempted to eat it and only 6 have succeeded.  In this video guitarist Brian Klemm (currently on tour with Big D And The Kids Table) attempts to be number 7.  It honestly doesn’t seem humanly possible when you first see the size of this burger vs. the size of Klemm.  Check out the video here to see if he makes it.
