UK’s hardcore/punk/ska band, Star Fucking Hipsters, announced that they will be releasing their 2nd full-length, “Never Rest In Peace” October 20th on Alternative Tentacles.  This doesn’t necessarily mean that they are leaving Fat Wreck Chords, who released their last album “Until We’re Dead” last September.  According to the band, they’ll be releasing more new material with Fat later this year, possibly in collaboration with The Slackers.

In regards to “Rest In Peace” the band comments:

…this new record is our best sounding since Choking Victim’s “No Gods/ No Managers”, now, of course 10 years later the content might not be exactly similar, but we did hi-jack Dick & Jasper (subhumans/citizen fish) for a couple of our better tunes…

As you may already know, The Word Alive has recently released their new EP “Empire” last month and from what I hear it has been the talk of the town in the screamo scene. You can watch poor Telle [lead vox] screaming his heart out to the point where hes coughing up blood and Yoohoo residue by clicking here to see the final recording day of “Empire”. However, at the end of the video it says “to be continued” so maybe theres another video update in the near future? Crossies!

“Empire” was released July 21st on Fearless Records. [Read more…]

Angels & Airwaves are releasing their 3rd full-length album, “Love”, on February 14th, 2010 – that’s Valentine’s Day for all you clueless people (read: dudes) out there.  The album release will also corresponds with a feature film, which I’m still trying to wrap my head around.  I don’t exactly know what this “feature film” entails but singer Tom DeLonge had this to say about it:

[The film] tells a story of human life and destiny, but at the same time really makes usual moments of life extraordinary … it’s a circular narrative, where it kind of sums up the human race in a time capsule.

OK.  Well, here’s a trailer of the album/film featuring a sample of a track titled “Riot” from the album.

Tom is currently touring with his original band Blink 182.

According at an update on The BR Page all signs are pointing toward a new Bad Religion album sometime next year.  Guitarist, Bret Gurewitz, is quoted in an email to the fan site as follows:

OK, not exactly concrete evidence but it’s promising…
