FACT is releasing their new album In The Blink Of An Eye on January 13th but to hold fans over until then the band is streaming the title track from the album on their MySpace page.

Vagrant released their self-titled album in April 2009.

So the news is still pretty slow, and probably will be until after the new year, but here’s something that should entertain you all for a few minutes.  It’s a story from Sturg of Star Fucking Hipsters and as the title of this post suggests, it’s to do with vomit and a show played at the famous Gilman St. venue in Northern California.

Read it here (warning: do not eat and read at the same time).

Los Angeles melodic skate punk outfit DC Fallout announced yesterday that they have finally replaced their drummer and plan on heading into the studio in April to record the album that was supposed to be completed this month.  To appease anxious fans the band is giving away their 2009 demo for free right here.  I highly recommend downloading it to anybody who liked punk rock in the 90s.

DC Fallout is playing a handful of shows around California in the coming months.

HORSE the band are streaming their super rare track, A Partridge, on their MySpace page.  The song was recorded for a Taste of Chaos compilation, called A Taste of Christmas, a few years back, but it wasn’t used and it doesn’t appear on any other album.  In true HORSE the band fashion it’s weird but intriguing.  (A Partridge lyrics)

The band’s latest album, Desperate Living, was released October 6th on Vagrant Records.

A new song has been recorded and posted by Bomb The Music Industry! It’s called Struggler and it’s available for streaming and download on the band’s blog.  Here’s what was posted about the song on their blog:

So, I don’t know how many of you have been keeping track, but five years ago today I recorded a song called “Sweet Home Cananada” at my parents’ house. I put it up under the name “Bomb the Music Industry!” for people to hear and was surprised to hear such a positive response…  Anyway, I figured it’d be appropriate to share this new song, recorded the same way as the first song: in my bedroom and bubbling with both the fear that everyone’s gonna think it’s stupid and enough tunnel vision (read: stupidity) to say, well, I couldn’t give a fucking shit if anyone does. Thank you for listening.
