Farewell To Freeway has posted their new music video for “Portrait” which comes off their last album “Only Time Will Tell”. Im not sure what the meaning is behind this video, but if I had to guess I’d say that the members are trying to describe how they see themselves to their audience.. kind of like showing us a “self-portrait” within a music video. If I’m anywhere close to being correct, that would mean Michele [keys] sees herself as a flesh eating zombie… Watch.

“Only Time Will Tell” came out on Victory Records in April of 2009. [Read more…]

Stolen Parts seems like an appropriate name for a band with, dare I say it, “stolen parts”…. All of the members of this new act come from different bands in the punk scene: Pat Schramm of Bridge And Tunnel, Ryan Seagrist [not to be mistaken for Ryan Seacrest] formally of Discount and Monikers, and Ryan Young of Off With Their Heads.

The band has posted some demo songs on their myspace page and are currently working on a 7″ to be released on Kiss Of Death Records.

Riot Fest has recently added 7Seconds, Cobra Skulls, Deals Gone Bad, The Bomb, Das Kapital, Beer Nuts, the Pinstripes, and She Likes Todd to their 2009 line-up.

Last Thursday at Webster Hall in New Jersey, Bouncing Souls took the stage as part of their 20th anniversary celebration, with melodic hardcore outfit Lifetime being their opening act… Ah, Lifetime- Punk music for women. During Souls’ “Leen On Sheena”, a dude in his wheelchair was hoisted up over the heads of the crowd and carried to the front of the stage where he landed the ultimate wheelchair crowd surf. Bassist Bryan Kienlen then grabbed the mic and shouted “That’s Jersey right there for you!”. We’re not sure what happened after he got on stage or how he got down, but there’s an entire article on the show posted on the New York Times website, so feel free to check it out.

Bouncing Souls’ last album “Gold Record” was released on Epitaph Records in 2006.
