OK, so it’s Labor Day here in the states, which means this Monday qualifies as a weekend, which is why there are so few stories today.  And we’re lazy.  For those dedicated readers out there, you know that weekend posts tend to be skimpy on details and bursting with conjecture.  In the interest of staying consistent, here’s a post with almost no real information:

San Diego melodic, skate punk band Skipjack are releasing a split 7″ with Santa Cruz’s Outlie, (2 ex-members of Good Riddance).  Release date?  Label?  Track listings?  Refer to the top portion of this post.

Below are a couple albums that hit stores today. Listen to a few of their tracks – if you like what you hear support the bands and go buy an album.

Common Enemy: Living The Dream? (DRP)

Listen to “We’re Under Attack”, “Beer Bong” and “Warped In World 8”.
.

The Johnstones: Can’t Be Trusted (Stomp Records)

Stream the entire album on the band’s MySpace page.
.

Frank Turner: Poetry Of The Deed (Epitaph)

Listen to “Try This At Home and “The Road”.
.

No Friends: No Friends (No Idea)

Listen to 5 tracks off the album on the band’s MySpace.
.

Polar Bear Club: Chasing Hamburg (Bridge Nine)

Listen to “One Hit Back”.

Swedish, melodic punk act Atlas Losing Grip are releasing a new EP titled “Watching The Horizon” on October 16th.  Each week leading up to the release they will add one new song from the EP to their MySpace page and they’re starting with the track “Horizon”, which you can check out here.

Says the band of the song:

It’s the second track on the EP, and my favorite. It’s got swaying rhythm and some smashing fast sections as well as some roaring backups.

Atlas Losing Grip released their last full-length, “Shut The World Out”, last year on Bells On Records.

New York’s Bulldog Courage are going to be releasing a 7″ titled “The Broken Heroes Of The World’s Demise” on Seasick Records.  No word yet on an official release date but you can hear the title track off the release over on the band’s MySpace page.

Bulldog Courage recently released their first full-length “From Heartache To Hatred” on Thorp Records.

For the last couple months Austrian punk band Red Lights Flash have been posting new songs from their upcoming, as yet untitled, album.  Today they have posted the track “A Rebel Without A Cause” and you can listen to it on the band’s MySpace page.

The album is due out October 30th (in Europe).

Red Lights Flash released their last album “Free” on A-F Records in 2004.

Cobra Starship will be performing on Jimmy Kimmel’s outdoor stage October 13th.  The performance will be kicking off the band’s tour in support of their recently released album “Hot Mess”, which hit stores August 11th via Fueled By Ramen Records.

Check out the tour dates here.

So this story about DEA is actually more interesting than the one I just posted:

DEA is streaming what appears to be the entire 7″ album that was recently canceled for release on Think Fast! Records.  You can give the tracks a listen over on the band’s MySpace page.

DEA released their last full-length album “Good Guys” on Get Outta Town Records last year, which you can download for free here.

After canceling their upcoming 7″ release on Think Fast! Records, the Florida straight edge act DEA is giving away their entire full-length  “Good Guys” for free.  The album was released last year on Get Outta Town Records and you can download all 13 tracks here.

Although The Warped Tour has come to an end, the videos continue to pour in.  Like this one, which portrays The Maine covering Def Leopard’s “Pour Some Sugar On Me” to a chorus chanting crowd.

The Maine is going to continue touring all the way through November.  Check out the dates in the Dying Scene Shows section.

Just because summer is coming to a close doesn’t mean the fun is. It takes more than back to school and work to stop a tour from coming, and to prove that point Farewell headed out today to promote their new album, “Run It Up The Flagpole”. Joining them will be Between The Trees, Punchline, and Action Item. So go to the Dying Scene Shows page, mark some dates in your calender, and call in sick because you’re heading to the show!

“Run It Up The Flagpole” was just released Sept. 1st on Epitaph.
