The Bouncing Souls are playing their 3rd Annual Home For The Holidays show in Asbury Park, NJ. Now I know not everyone lives in NJ, but the line up looks pretty good and who doesn’t love music during the holidays?? Besides….traveling is part of the holiday experience anyway, so if you were planning a road trip home to see mom and dad maybe you should add NJ to your route. Check out their blog for details on who’s playing and on which days.

To say thanks for all the support, Red Lights Flash put up 3 songs off their album “For Your Safety” dropping October 30th. You can download “The End Of History”, “Cities Burn”, and “For Your Safety” all for FREE. Just go to their website and within minutes the songs will be all yours.

Progressive screamo band Flood Of Red released their album “Leaving Everything Behind” today. Check out their website and you can listen to all the songs on the album before you go out and get it. They are also currently on tour so head to the Dying Scene Shows page for details on their whereabouts.

Paper + Plastick Records were happy to announce that Spanish Gamble has debuted the title track of their new album “It’s All Coming Down”. I listened to the song, and if the rest of the album is like this I think these boys have a bright future ahead of them. Check it out for yourself on their MySpace page and let us know what you think.

Gwen Stacy has posted a video blog to show you what they have been up to on tour so far, and apparently they are going to be posting a new one every Friday (although they were a few days late on this one…). According to the band, they are going to tell you things you already know about, some things you don’t know about, and show you how they waste their time.

Make sure to check out the Dying Scene Shows page to see if their tour is heading your way.

Since Forever did an acoustic version of All Time Low‘s “Remembering Sunday” and I must say, they did a pretty good job. And if you thought they weren’t serious about playing at your house, just watch the video because it looks like they are coming live from a living room. Check it out on the Full Story page.

Southern California’s melodic punk act Chaser have finally announced some details and a little music from their highly anticipated new album, “The Big Picture.”  <= There’s the cover art and you can click here for a video of the band on tour, which features a couple tracks off the upcoming release.  The band state’s that the album is in “the middle ground” between being finished and fans can expect a release date of 2/16/10.

“The Big Picture” will be a follow-up to 2007’s “Numb America,” and based on what’s heard on the video, it sounds like the band has seriously stepped things up a notch.

You can listen to two new tracks from the upcoming Unwelcome Guests album “Don’t Go Swimming” on the band’s MySpace page.  The tracks are titled “Any Other Place” and “Wrecking Ball.”

The band announced in July that they were finished recording the album but there still has been no word on its release date or label.  WTF.

Anybody remember the song “Plowed” by Sponge from 1995?  Well, it’s an awesome song and The Darlings have decided to cover it.  Check it out on their MySpace page.

The band is currently working on a new album.  Here’s what they had to say about it:

Songs are different than the last record that’s for sure, but have no fear, we’re not throwing away our style for something totally new.
