Those Who Lie Beneath have just booked a two week west coast tour starting in October, which happens to coincide with their October 13th release of “An Awakening” out on Rise Records. Tour dates will be posting soon, so keep checking back to the Dying Scene Shows page for updates.

In other news, the band is looking for a bass player. If you, or someone you know happens to be talented at playing bass and wants to enter the hectic life of a touring musician then go the their myspace page and send them a message. Tour, release, and try-outs..oh my!

Fall Out Boy has released their new and improved version of “What A Catch, Donnie”. One click is all you need to see Patrick befriend a seagull… again. To be honest, I have no idea how this video is any different.

Fall Out Boy’s last album “Folie A Deux” came out last December on Island Records. [Read more…]

AFI‘s new album “Crash Love” is almost here! So far you’ve seen the album artwork and the track listing, you’ve heard some sample songs and you may of caught them on tour as they were supporting the new album. But did you know….

50 to 60 songs were written for the album while over 100 songs were written for their last album Decemberunderground. 17 songs were recorded for the album and only 12 will make the final cut but it is “very likely” we will get to hear those rejected tunes.

….and now you know.

“Crash Love” is on its way and will be released on Interscope Records September 29th.

So this is pretty interesting…  Metallica are appearing on a 7″ split with The Swellers.  Accidentally, that is.  Drummer Jonathan Diener explains:

“Today we received our test pressings from Paper & Plastick for our new 7” with the songs “Welcome Back Riders” and “Montreal Screwjob”…  Side A was awesome, the song sounded great. Then we flipped it, put the needle on, then heard applause… we didn’t have that on our song. Then we hear “I am iron man” …what the fuck?  We then realized, it was Metallica covering the song “Iron Man” by Black Sabbath on both copies of the 7″ instead of our song “Montreal Screwjob”. We even looked at the etching on the vinyl, one side said the swellers, other had a release listing with MET00 then the number of the release.”

The band will be keeping the 2 test press copies and suspects Metallica is scratching their collective heads over the fact that a random punk song is appearing on their own test copies.

The “Welcome Back Riders” 7 inch is a precursor to The Swellers full-length album “Ups and Downsizing”, which will be released September 29th on Fueled By Ramen.

Come September, The Real Deal will be teaming up with Guttermouth for a Canadian tour around Quebec and Ontario. So to all you Canadians out there, or to people willing to travel the distance, head over to The Real Deal’s myspace page for show dates.

Slapshot has announced that they’ve thrown Stars & Stripes off their tour because lead singer of S&S Mark McKay has decided to quit the band and move to Wyoming to become a sheep farmer. Okay I made that last part up. For some reason Mark isn’t going to be on the tour and they’ve decided to replace S&S with Frigate because “it just wouldn’t be the same playing with S&S without Mark!”. Check the bands Dying Scene Shows page to see where they’ll be performing.

Slapshot’s last album “Step On It” came out on TAANG! Records in 2005.

L.A. band The Generators sure are staying busy! Not only are they working on a new album, they are heading out on a European tour with The Damned and The Broilers. You can check out the dates by going to the Dying Scene Shows page.

You can check out their Warped Tour video update right here; you’ll see some footage of the crowds, a few minutes of the show, and Alex (vocals-Therefore I Am) will even give you some advice on how (and why) to use a condom. Yup…so if nothing else, you’ll leave with the knowledge on how to practice safe sex.
