Epitaph Records signs Alkaline Trio with plans to release their 7th album in February on the band’s own newly formed Heart & Skull label, which is a joint venture with Epitaph.

It seems Alkaline Trio went with a simpler approach when recording the new album, which features 11 songs. According to singer/guitarist Matt Skiba:

“This record is a rock record but our punk rock upbringing definitely shines through, more so than our last few records. The vibe is similar to our humble beginnings. It’s a step forward but I also think it has glimmers of our past in it. We went with a less-is-more approach on this record. A lot of it is just one guitar rather than overdubs or three or four guitars,” he says. “We wanted a record that we could easily play live. For the most part, it’s pretty bare bones while still sounding full and big.”

Most of you are probably wondering what is Where’s The Band? and why should I care? Well, it’s a tour comprised of solo acoustic performances by  Dustin Kensrue (of Thrice), Matt Pryor (of The Get Up Kids), Chris Conley (of Saves The Day) and Anthony Raneri (of Bayside). Pretty cool right?

Trustkill Records announced today that they have added Kid Liberty to their roster. If you are reading this wondering who in the heck Kid Liberty is then you need to head over to their MySpace page right now and check out a few of their tracks. This band has been a major player in the “D.I.Y” movement over the past few years, putting out Ep’s on their own and playing shows wherever they could. Looks like their hard work finally paid off.

Kid Liberty will be heading into the studio in December to record their first full-length record which is slated to be released sometime next Spring.

Well it looks like Craig Owens‘ solo career will be ending before it ever really started. Former lead singer of Chiodos tweeted this statement yesterday:

“5 shows left this year. Last solo shows for a LONG time-maybe ever. Last chance to hear me sing ANY Chiodos songs. Time for a new beginning.”

Who knows what the future holds for Owens but we do know he’ll have plenty of fans to support him when he figures it out. For more info on his final shows check out his MySpace page.
