Classics of love (the newest band fronted by Operation Ivy’s lead vocalist Jesse Michaels) are currently writing songs for their first full-length album.

Michaels had this to say about the new material:

Our new songs are a lot faster than the first batch. There is no dogma for what type of music works for a given band, you just have to listen for the energy and follow it and that’s what we’re doing to the best of our mortal ability.

The band currently has a 6 song EP titled “Walking In The Shadows” out on Asian Man Records.

Take a look at this video update of Fall Out Boy while on tour with Blink 182. Watch the boys singing in the rain, then watch them whack some golf balls into a lake…riveting! The video does redeem itself in the end with some mostly delightful harmonies with the guys from Panic! At The Disco.

Watch the video here.

Australian ska band The Resignators have posted a new song “Taco Buritto” to their MySpace page. I guess they are resigning to poor spelling. As far as I know, it’s always been Burrito, but whatever. Clearly, this is not my favorite song on their playlist, but I do like the rest of what they’ve got. Go check it out and decide for yourself.

The band’s last album “Offbeat Time” was released April 21, 2009, on Stomp Records.

We came as Romans have announced that they will be touring with The Chariot, Oh Sleeper, and Dead and Divine this fall. Also, it looks like their Equal Vision Records debut full length will be released sometime around October 23rd as that is the day of their hometown CD release show.

Alright, so we’ve been saying for weeks that the new self-titled album from Say Anything was coming out October 13th, but apparently we had no idea what we were talking about.  Our source is having his fingernails pulled out right now.  Anyway, the actual release date (according to the band) is November 3rd.  The cover art is <= but you can see a larger version here.

Front-man, Max Bemis, had this to say about the album:

The record is about becoming the hero of your own story by fighting against what opposes you, both within yourself and from other people and society. There is a deep spiritual unity that all people possess and once you let go of the sort of mind control you and others can place on yourself, you can tap into it, and it’s like having superpowers. It can lead you through an adventure no matter who you are, how dark your past is, or how messed up of a person you think you are.
