For Today will be out on the Deathless Tour 1 with Throwdown and Bury Your Dead. They will be on tour for about a month starting in November and it looks like they are covering a lot of territory. Want to know where you can catch them? Check out the Dying Scene Shows page.

For Today‘s last album, “Portraits” was released June 9th on Facedown Records.

Gwen Stacy just posted another song from their upcoming album “A Dialogue”. You can hear the song, “A Dialogue” by heading to their MySpace page.

Their new album hits the stores October 20th on Solid State Records.

Sick Of It All are entering the studio next month to record their long awaited full-length follow-up to 2006’s “Death To Tyrants”.  The band has written 16 new songs but not all will make the album.

Here are a few confirmed song titles: Dominated, A Month Of Sundays, Hope And Fear, Bent Out Of Shape and Dirty Money.  More details to come…

Underground Communique Records has announced that they will be releasing an 8.5 song one sided 12″ EP titled “What The Fuck Happened To Common Sense” for hardcore-punk act Get Rad.  No official release date yet other than “sometime this Fall” but here’s the statement from Underground Communique:

The band brings what I believe as their best recorded material to date, a recording finally matching the power of seeing the band live.  Originally 3 of these songs were going to go on the Sweet Cobra split 7″ but that idea is sidelined right now until Sweet Cobra finishes writing new songs. That split will definitely still happen, just not yet…so we decided to combine the whole recording session into one EP instead and solve the problem of having songs for a split and a separate 7″ but no split band and no one to release a separate 7″.

Get Rad has recently finished a different full-length album titled “I Can Always Live”, which they are releasing on Hyperrealist when they finish their tour (fans can pick up copies of the album right now if they catch the band on the road).

Hayley Williams, lead singer of Paramore, gave MTV me a tour of her “crib” in Franklin, Tennessee the other night.  Nevermind that she kept mentioning her boyfriend and for some reason refused to show me her bedroom, I think we both know what I was doing there…

Paramore released their newest album “Bright New Eyes” on Tuesday via Fueled By Ramen Records.

Freddy Madball, vocalist of hardcore legends, Madball, is going solo.  On November 4th he will release “Catholic Guilt”, his debut album as a solo artist.  Traditional Madball fans should prepare themselves for something a little different than what they’re used to – this is a more or less, a hip hop album.  Here’s an official statement regarding the release:

The album will contain Freddy’s tough as nails vocals but with different muscles flexed. “I’m doing everything on this album, singing, rhyming and yelling, rhyming being the focal point.” says Freddy. While Madball have always had an urban beat to their sound, Catholic Guilt has all out boom bap beats and rock breaks.

One of the tracks on the album is a cover of The Clash’s “London Calling” done as hip hop and featuring Rancid.  You can give it a listen on Freddy’s MySpace page.

Rise Records has just announced the signing of Georgia’s post-hardcore five piece, From First To Last.  The band is currently recording their new album, which will be released in February of 2010.

Their self-titled last album was released in May of 2008 on Interscope.

GC Records will be releasing a comp to raise awareness for Protect.org, a national pro-child, anti-crime membership association.  The album will feature 25 bands and “70 minutes of Rock ‘N Roll”.  The tracklisting is still being finalized but the release date is set for sometime late November.

This official spokesperson can give you more details.
