Come November 17th, Anberlin will be releasing  “Anberlin: The Anthology”- a 3 disc set of 33 songs from earlier albums “Blueprints from the Black Market”, “Never Take Friendship Personal”, and “Cities”. This announcement has left fans puzzled as to why the band is putting out yet another album of songs from already released records. In a recent blog, fans have questioned whether Anberlin is just trying to put out another album to end their contract with Tooth & Nail, while others suspect the label has put this all together to acquire new fans and milk the band for more moo-lah. Who knows. Whatever the case may be, I’m not too certain this “greatest hits” album will be well received.

OK kids, get your calendars out and put a big gold star on Tuesday, September 29th. This is to remind you that MySpace Music is streaming Blessthefall‘s new album “Witness” for 2 days only! That’s right, you can hear the entire album before it’s even released, but remember, its only for 2 DAYS. Blessthefall has put together a preview video of the entire album, so check it out.

“Witness” will be released October 6th on Fearless Records. [Read more…]

Check out this video of Us, From Outside in the studio as they record their upcoming album for Tragic Hero Records. There is definitely a lot more ninja fighting, jumping into pine trees, measuring yards by feet [?] and playing Frisbee than there is actual recording footage, but it’s still fun. Oh, and all PETA members beware – there may or may not be a clip of the boys killing a butterfly… and then dismembering a dead bird.

The Queers are packing up their drums and guitars and hitting the road tomorrow to start their first ever pop tour. They’re kicking things off over on the East Coast in Florida and then heading out West just before they venture out to Tokyo for 3 shows. The Queers would like to encourage their fans to let them know of any pop-punk classics they would like to hear, and they’ll try their damnedest to make it happen. Head over to their Dying Scene Shows page to see if they’re coming to your area.

Their last album “The Queers Alive In Hollyweird” was dropped last May on Punk Rock Social.

Milwaukee’s anthem infused, pop-punk act, Direct Hit are giving away their new EP “#3” for free.  You can stream all the songs before you download them right here, and if you like what you hear they are graciously accepting donations.

Before you write this offer off as a cheap ploy by a talentless band to get you to listen a horribly recorded, poor excuse for a punk song, do yourself a favor and take one minute to listen to the song “Failed Invasion.”  We’re pretty sure you won’t be disappointed.

Lovehatehero have premiered the video for the title track off their upcoming album “America Underwater” and you can check it out here.

The album is being released on Ferret Music and hits stores next week (September 29th).  If you want to check the album out now, it’s streaming on the band’s MySpace.

Bassist for Sederra, Eric, recently did an interview with AMP Magazine. The interview is all about the band, the music he likes, his influences..you know..typical interview questions. But while you’re reading it you get to hear their new song “Smash Out The Lights”. Not a bad deal.

They are currently working on a new album, so when we get any more details we will let you know.

To get everyone a little more excited for their fall tour, Paramore is offering a free Preview Tour Pack..and you can download it for FREE. The pack includes the acoustic version of “Ignorance”, some songs from Paper Route and The Swellers, a printable poster from the tour, pics of all the bands on tour, and even a sneak peak at the merch.

There is however a slight catch, because after all..nothing in life is really free. You have to post a Tweet or Facebook update about the band, and then you can go here and download the Tour Pack.

Head to the Dying Scene Shows page to find out where you can catch this tour.

Taking Back Sunday have been doing a series of videos where they ask each member of the band 5 questions that were submitted and asked by the fans. So far they have up questions with Matt Rubano, Eddie Reyes, and most recently Matt Fazzi. They are all pretty interesting and give you a chance to see a more personal side of each of the boys. You can watch them at TakingBackSunday.com, but make sure you keep checking back because there’s still 2 members more to hear answers from!

Warner Bros. released their latest album, “New Again” in June 2009.
