Get ready ladies and gentlemen because from November 12-14 Riot Fest is coming to LA with a very impressive line-up: Screeching Weasel, The Dead Milkmen, Naked Raygun, 88 Fingers Louie, The Adolescents, Teen Idols and American Steel. Although this is reason enough to go, its not all. Apparently, this is “just the tip of the iceberg”..so check out more details here. Tickets go on sale this Saturday so don’t miss out!

Strike Anywhere are releasing a new 7″; one side will have two songs from their upcoming album, “Iron Front” and the other side will have two unreleased songs. Apparently, not only is it musically appealing, but visually as well…it’s clear vinyl with green splatters and the labels are misprinted (which I guess is a good thing?).

For those of you who will be at Best Friends Day RVA, you can pick up a copy this weekend. If you can’t make it there you are going to have to wait a bit, because although normal distribution is available, they haven’t made a concrete release date.

“Iron Front” releases on Bridge Nine Records October 6th.

Outbreak is psyched to announce that their new album will be released on Think Fast! Records. Having just signed a new deal with Think Fast!, Trustkill Records will be handling the distribution of the album. What is exciting for the band is that they will essentially be self-releasing the record since Ryan O’connor, their vocalist, runs Think Fast!; but they will have the benefit of having their record put in stores by the Universal Music Group, which is Truskill Records’ distributing label. No word on the album title or release date yet, but we’ll keep you posted.

“Failure,” the band’s last album, was released July 11, 2006, on Bridge Nine Records.

Life On Repeat has posted Studio Blog #1 (footage from their upcoming and first release). Watch the guys while they make music, hang out, eat meatballs and take a peek into Satan’s bathroom. You even get a bit of hidden camera footage, but from what I saw, the band doesn’t seem to be all that exciting when they don’t know they are being watched.

The album will be released on Equal Vision Records, but no word yet on the date.

The band has some upcoming shows. Check out the Dying Scenes Shows page to see if they will be playing near you.

While currently on tour supporting their new album “Common Existence”, Thursday has decided to expand their fall tour by hitting up Detroit with The Fall Of Troy, Young Widows and La Dispute. And it gets even BETTER. During two very special shows at New York’s Bowery Ballroom and Hollywood’s Knitting Factory, they will be playing in full their 2001 album “Full Collapse” and the 2003 album “War All The Time”. I’d just like to say having been to a few Thursday shows myself, they put on amazing performances and “Full Collapse” is definitely their best album to date [in my book] so if you can make it to one of these shows please do yourself a huge favor and GO!

Check out their Dying Scene Shows page to track em down.

“Common Existence” was released in February on Epitaph Records.

Lead singer of Confide, Ross Kenyon, recently had an interview with TheInterlude.com where he talks about their recent cover of The Postals Service’s “Such Great Heights”.

In support of their new album “Congregation Of The Damned”, Atreyu has uploaded a new webisode to their myspace profile. Now I’ll warn you, this video is a minute and 12 seconds of pompous nonsense but if you really love Atreyu, you wont care… and you might be pissed at me for calling them out. But whatev, watch if you like.

“Congregation Of The Damned” will be released October 27th on Road Runner Records.
