Sum 41 has been in the studio recording their latest album.  If you read Dying Scene regularly you know that the band has been posting video updates almost daily and we dutifully post them for your viewing pleasure.  Today it looks like the band has wrapped up on recording and to celebrate they drink a crapload of jack daniels, invite some girls over and proceed to destroy the house they’ve been staying at.  Check it out here.

Sum 41 released their last album, Underclass Hero, in 2007 on Island Records.

Yes, you read that title correctly.  To celebrate their 20th anniversary Jughead’s Revenge is giving away every song from every full-length release for free on their website.   That’s seven full-length albums!  And if that isn’t enough for you, the band will be playing a handful of shows over the next few months, starting in the Los Angeles area.  Show details to come soon.

The Riptides added another track from their new 7-inch Tough Luck to their MySpace page.  The song is called Friday The 13th and it’s definitely worth checking out.  Imagine Pennywise meets Screeching Weasel.

Tough Luck was released a couple weeks ago via Rally Records on Interpunk.

So, this isn’t really news, but I love Bad Religion so much that I had to let you all in on this update. Epitaph Records has just posted a video of Bad Religion’s Do What You Want being played over clips of their live shows over the years. The band is planning on releasing their 15th (that’s right 15!) studio album in the near future and has shows lined up to celebrate. Check out dates at their Dying Scene Shows page.

If you’re a fan of Irish punk like me, this video is sure to get you dancing just like it did for me. Canadian punks The Mahones have just posted a live performance video of their song Drunken Lazy Bastard which was recorded at their show in Amsterdam last month. The song appears on their 1994 album Draggin’ The Days.

The Mahones will be on tour next month. Check out when they’ll be near you on their Dying Scene Shows page.

SXSW is a pretty massive music festival that takes place in Austin, TX every year.  It’s typically more focused on indie rock band but thanks to Fat Wreck Chords this year there will be a healthy dose of punk rock to shake things up a bit.  From the looks of this flyer <= it seems as if Riverboat Gamblers, Teenage Bottlerocket, NOFX, Dead To Me, Smoke Or Fire, Banner Pilot, Cobra Skulls and Tony Sly are all slated to perform.  Here’s the official statement from Fat:

SXSW is just around the corner and we’re excited to announce that we’ll be joining the chaos. Normally, we only manage to get a band or two out to Austin but thanks to Harvest Of Hope being a week earlier, most of our bands were already on tour. Our all ages showcase will be held at Emo’ s Annex on Saturday, March 20th and if you don’t have a badge, never fear as a limited amount of tickets will be available at doors. We’ve recruited the help of some friends with Cobra Skulls kicking off the party and Riverboat Gamblers closing it out. More details to follow in the next few weeks!

SXSW will be kicking off this year’s festival on March 12th.

Flogging Molly originally posted this video a week and a half ago but they obviously didn’t count on the incredibly fast, super sleuthy, news reporting skills of us here at Dying Scene and as a result they pulled the video down 5 minutes after we covered it.  This, of course, left us looking like jack asses and you readers feeling a little disappointed.  Well, it’s back up.  Finally.  Go check it out here before its gone again.

Punch Drunk Grinning Soul appears on the band’s most recent album, Float, which was released in 2008 on Side One Dummy Records.

Mark Hoppus (Blink 182) and Pete Wentz (Fall Out Boy) collaborated on a new track for the Tim Burton Alice In Wonderland movie soundtrack.  For those of you curious as to what it sounds like, do not expect anything resembling punk rock.  You can listen to a radio-ripped version of the song here.

The soundtrack will be officially released on March 2nd.
