Brand New‘s lyricist Jesse Lacey interviewed on Spin Magazine where he discussed touring, writing songs, and their upcoming album “Daisy.” Jesse comments on the title of the album:

We were going to name the record Daisy, and then we weren’t going to name the record Daisy and after Vin decided to name a song “Daisy,” we re-decided to name the record Daisy again. [Laughs]

The men of Boys Night Out have announced they will be playing a show in Toronto and they want it to be known that this does NOT mean they will be touring again… freakin teases. They’re not saying this will be their last show ever but its definitely a special show because all 5 original members (Connor, Jeff, Dave, Rob and Ben) will be performing. They will only be playing “Broken Bones And Bloody Kisses” and “Makeyourselfsick” from beginning to end so if you’re familiar with those two albums (the first and second albums released in 2002 and 2003) then you will love this show! The band has yet to announce the venue but they have said they are shooting for October 24th. Keep checking the Dying Scene Shows page for where they’ll be playing.

“Broken Bones and Bloody Kisses” was the bands first album which got the ball rolling in 2002. It was released on Ferret Music.

Starting September 16th, Dance Gavin Dance is kicking off their 4 week headlining tour around the country with Emarosa, Of Mice and Men and Tides OF Man Of Machines. The tour is being named “Squash The Beef ” which is interesting to me because lead singer of Emarosa, Johnny Craig, was originally the lead singer of Dance Gavin Dance…. Now, I’m not sure what the cause of Johnny leaving DGD was, but perhaps there’s some hidden meaning behind that title. Who knows. Whatever the case is, Johnny is such an amazing vocalist I wouldn’t care if he was just singing in Mentos commercials- I’d still Tivo that sh*t.

Anyway, check out when and where the tour will take place by running over to Dance Gavin Dance’s Dying Scene Shows page and don’t forget to mark your calendars!

DGD’s last album “Happiness” came out last June on Rise Records.
