Cut The Reins (Ireland) and Expendable Youth (Chicago) have teamed up with Rebel Time Records, Injustice of Humanity (L.A.) and Distro-Y (Ireland), to release a split 7 inch.  To paraphrase what Rebel Time had to say about the bands and their contributions to the release:

Cut The Reins are a “crust tinged” hardcore band, out of Galway, Ireland, who draw influences from Ashes Rise to Kid Dynamite, all held together with a punk undertone.  You can visit their MySpace page to hear both tracks on the 7″.

Expendable Youth are a radical left political band from Chicago / N.W. Indiana who consider themselves a mix of crust, anarcho punk, screamo, metal & hardcore and could only fit one tune on their side of the 7 inch (because it is epic and super long!). Listen to the track here.

The 7 inch is expected to be released within 6 weeks.

The Brat Attack are releasing a digital only b-sides album in the coming weeks on Rebel Time Records. It contains 26 tracks, including their very first release One Revolution Per Minute, as well as demos from their entire history as a band (as well as 4 live recordings). Fans of political skate pop punk will surely be pleased, but The Brat Attack have been around for ever, and the release spans into periods of the band that became much more aggressive than their first recordings, so expect some of the usual hardcore leanings of the band to come out on this release as well.

You can listen to one of the tracks from the release (Your Comfort Is Killing Me) on Rebel Time’s MySpace page.

The Last Hope is heading out on the road next month and are asking their fans to help plan the tour. Check out this message from the band and give them your feedback via their MySpace today.

Well, the new Alkaline Trio album is almost here and it now has a name. This Addiction, is rumored to be released sometime in late January. Lead singer Matt Skiba had this to say about title of the album:

It is the first song on the record and the title of our new album. The song takes heroin addiction as a metaphor for love. The whole record is really personal, all three of us have been through quite a bit since our last album [2008’s ‘Agony & Irony’] and it is all expressed through this, all the songs are about the relationships we’ve been in and so the record has a constant theme.

This will be their first album off of their own label Heart & Skull Records, formed in November this year.
