For a free sneak of Four Year Strong‘s track Wasting Time (Eternal Summer) off of the upcoming album Enemy Of The World, all you have to do is right-click here and hit “Save link as…”!  It’s not the best quality, but at least it’s available at your fingertips (if you want the better quality version, hit up iTunes to download it).  I’m diggin’ this song and I def can’t wait until the album comes out on 9 March on I Surrender Records!

Four Year Strong is currently touring the US a bit, then off to Oz, then Canada, and finally, back to the States.  Check Dying Scene’s Shows page for more tour info.

Story Of The Year have posted their forthcoming new album The Constant as a full album stream on their MySpace page. The album will be available in stores & online this upcoming Tuesday, February 16, 2010 via Epitaph Records.

The band released their last album, The Black Swan, on Epitaph in 2008.

Progressive rockers Coheed And Cambria have released the first song new to public ears in over two long years!  That’s right!  The Broken can be heard on the band’s MySpace page and will appear on their forthcoming release, Year Of The Black Rainbow.

If you can’t wait for the 13 April release, you can hit up iTunes to download The Broken.  Pre-orders are currently being taken for YOTBR, including a limited-release deluxe package that contains two unreleased demo tracks, a 352-page hardcover novel (entitled Year Of The Black Rainbow) written by Claudio Sanchez & Peter David, a DVD (entitled Every End Has A Beginning) of the making of Year Of The Black Rainbow with band & producer interviews, and finally, a Coheed And Cambria Black Card which entitles cardholders to enter CAC concerts early, discount on CAC merch, and access to contests, downloads, and “other goodies.”  The deluxe edition is kind of pricy ($40) but I guess you do get a lot of crap for it…

Coheed’s last release, No World For Tomorrow, came out in 2007 on Columbia Records.

New York punk act, Leftöver Crack, has announced that a third full-length LP is slowly making its way to fruition.  The band disclaims that it will be some time before anyone sees anything of this release, but tells us that a few songs/lyrics written and promise that if/when the record does come to realization, it will be better than the Citizen Fish split (Leftöver’s half… not Citizen’s).

Leftöver Crack’s last LP, Fuck World Trade, came out in 2004 on Alternative Tentacles.

All queued up for you, ladies and gentlemen, is number eight in the series of studio updates for Sum 41.  Watch Deryck as he so skillfully tickles the ivories and talks briefly about naming the impending album.  Peep the video here. [Read more…]

Ontario ska-core band, Corporation, has posted a shit ton of videos from their recent Montreal show at L’Absynth.  Check the whole lot of them out here (12 in total).

Additionally, the band announced that Unknown Records has picked them up and will help promote the band some.  Congrats, dudes!

Corporation’s last release, Return Of The Corporation, came out last July. [Read more…]

How’s this for some good news to start your Tuesday:  The Flatliners are releasing a new full-length album this spring on Fat Wreck Chords.  It’s titled Cavalcade and it officially hits stores on April 13th (artwork <=).  Hey oh!

Here’s what singer Chris had to say about it:

“When we were on tour last March, we met Joey from Full House (aka Dave Coulier) in a bar in Cleveland. I drunkenly slipped him a copy of ‘The Great Awake’ and we began talking about music and Canada. He turned out to be a pretty cool dude, other than ironically wearing a Betty Ford Clinic shirt while drinking red wine. Anyways, after Uncle Joey left the bar that night, the jokes began that we would name our new record ‘Dave Coulier Has Our Last Record.’ Once we sobered up in the morning and realized that was an awful idea, we decided to name our new album ‘CAVALCADE’. And we are beyond stoked to announce that it will be coming out this April on FatWreck of course.

Since every record is vaguely conceptual even if you’re not going for the painful uber-concept-record thing like Coheed and Cambria, and since we basically live like homeless people while we’re on tour most of each year, ‘Cavalcade’ has taken on the overall theme of unity through disconnectedness. Happiness in uncertain times. Humanity is flawed but we can all still party, right? That’s what we wrote about, and that’s how we live. We love what we do an couldn’t be happier with the way it has all turned out.”

The Flatliners released their last full-length, Great Awake, on Fat in 2007.

Below are a couple albums that hit stores today. Listen to a few of their tracks – if you like what you hear support the bands and go buy an album.

To find out more read all the rules right here (and then come explain them to us because we’re way too lazy to read all those instructions).

Out of nowhere Bomb The Music Industry! Have recorded and digitally released a brand new 7 song EP titled Adults! It was recorded, mixed and released in the span of five days and you can go here to download the whole album for free (donations accepted, of course).

Drums, bass and guitar for this EP were tracked live at John DeDomenici’s mom’s house. In the basement. Some guitar overdubs and farfisa were recorded by Tom Malinowski at his recording space. All other overdubs were done at Quote Unquote Records. Jeff’s Apartment.  Produced and mixed by Jeff Rosenstock.

For those of you too lazy to download but curious enough to check out a couple songs, head over to the band’s MySpace page to hear the tracks Planning My Death and Struggler.
