Pop punk New Jersey sensation The Years Gone By are streaming their first single “The Safest Place” right now on their myspace page. “The Safest Place” is off their upcoming album “Something You Know Nothing About” which the band is self-releasing October 6th.

If you’re a big As I Lay Dying fan, you might feel as if they’ve started to slip away from the spotlight considering they haven’t been touring or even played a single show recently. You might be lying in bed at night worried you may never hear your favorite metal band again. Well fear not little ones, As I Lay Dying is alive and well. They’ve just been at home working hard on writing new songs for a new album due out early 2010 and they should begin recording within the next couple of months.

AILD’s last album “An Ocean Between Us” was released August 21st, 2007 on Metal Blade Records.

Los Angeles based punk act, The Generators, are releasing their newest album “Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea” next week on People Like You Records.  You can preview the album on the band’s MySpace page where they’ve recently added the tracks “Trainwreck”, “Sound Off The Alarm” and “Day Of Reckoning” all off the release.

Good things are coming from Canadian punk bands.  Buried deep in a blog post on Broadcast Zero’s official website the band let us know that they’re currently working on a new album.  Apparently they’re racing The Rebel Spell who are also working on a new album, to see who will get theirs out first.  Whoever wins, we can expect to see a new album from both bands early next year.

Broadcast Zero released their last full-length “Yesterday, You Could Change The World” last year on Rebel Time Records.   The Rebel Spell released the EP “Four Songs About Freedom” on Clandestine Collective in 2007.

If you don’t know by now, you’re not coming to our site enough, but on September 22nd BYO Records is releasing their “Let Them Know” CD/DVD release.  The audio component of the release will include over 30 covers of BYO releases by some of the the biggest names in punk rock.

Each week until the release date, BYO will be unveiling a handful of song clips from the release on an e-card.  Last week we heard Pennywise covering 7 Seconds, 7 Seconds covering Youth Brigade, and Youth Brigade covering SNFU.  This week you can hear Pulley covering Wrecking Crew, Leatherface covering Dillinger Four, NOFX covering Battalion Of Saints, and more.
