Drummer Steve Bruce from Cock Sparrer, one of the most influential Oi! bands in history, will be publishing “Best Seat In The House – the Cock Sparrer Story, ” a book about his life with the band. The book is currently in the production stages, but will be out on March 29th 2010.

The book promises to be packed with rare photographs, memorabilia, flyers, tour diaries, contributions from fans and, of course, a blow by blow account of the band from its origins, right up to the present day. The book is also said to include an amazing foreword by Lars Fredriksen of Rancid (love this guy).

Take a look at the Full Story page for more details.

AFI celebrated the release of “Crash Love” last night with a special performance at The Roxy in Los Angeles. The band played some new songs and some classics. Watch them perform “Medicate,” a cover of The Cure’s “Just Like Heaven,” and a few other songs live here.

“Crash Love” was released yesterday on DGC Records, an auxiliary label of Interscope Records.

Landmines have digitally released their new EP, “Hell is What you Make It,” on Paper + Plastic Records. They lost their drummer shortly before the recording process, but enlisted the help of longtime Bouncing Souls‘ drummer Michael McDermott to fill in on the drums. The result, they say, is some of their best songs to date. The band will be releasing a vinyl version of the EP on a limited double 7″ with a pop up middle, but no word on the date yet. For now, you can buy the digital download here.

The band is currently on tour in Europe, but has some upcoming shows in the U.S., including a show with Rise Against. Check out the Dying Scene Shows page for dates and locations.

Take a look at this new video for Orange‘s “Standing Still.”  The song is from the band’s album, “Phoenix,” which was released earlier this month on Hellcat Records. The video features, get this, a “real” girl! It’s quite refreshing, actually.  Social statement from the guys? Probably not, but still pretty cool.

Watch the video here.

The band’s tour starts in a few days. Check out the Dying Scene Shows page to see if they will hit your city.

Lead singer of Taking Back Sunday, Adam Lazzara [swoooon], seemed to be the main focus point in a recent video interview where he is asked what Nirvana song they would cover, why he wears long sleeved shirts in the summer…?… what his favorite book is and a couple others. Why the other band members had to uncomfortably sit there while he answers, we don’t know. Check it out. [Read more…]

Here they talk about their new album “Crash Love” and the usual chit-chat, but before you get to hear AFI, you have to sit through a quick interview with some crazy hippy-esque band with a bagillion members. “Crash Love” was released yesterday on Interscope Records.
