Feel like being teased? Ceremonial Snips, AKA The Snips, have uploaded some sample tracks to their myspace. You can hear 45-55 seconds of “Tired Tires”, “Blackouts” and “White Ghost” by clicking here. Why teasers? We don’t know… perhaps a new album is in the near future? Stay tuned. If you’re not in the mood to be teased, then you should listen to the track “Old Engines” because when I was writing this post they only had one play on that song. Go show some support!

The Snips’ last album “Check Your Audio” came out in 2006. They are currently signed to Union 2112 Records.

Strike Anywhere has released the new album artwork and track listing for their upcoming album “Iron Front” which drops October 6th on Bridge Nine Records. Unfortunately they have not added any of these new songs to their myspace for us to listen to, but I’m sure they will closer to the release date. To see the full track listing and album cover click here.

Strike Anywhere released their last album “Dead FM” on Fat Wreck Chords in 2006.

In this video, The Devil Wears Prada so graciously gives us a tour of their kick-ass tour bus. Not an RV lent by Grandpa, but an actual BUS. This thing is huge and comes fully loaded with like 50 TV’s, something that’s broken, a fat kid drawer, Hidden Valley Ranch (apparently its the expensive kind) and powered bathroom doors. Must be nice to have money. Go to the bands official website to watch.

The Devil Wears Prada’s last album “With Roots Above And Branches Below” came out on Ferret Music May 5th, 2009

The confirmed date has finally been announced for Mayday Parade’s new album, “Anywhere But Here” on Fearless Records. After much anticipation the date is………….October 6th! (I know…the excitement was almost too much for me too). Their first single will be a song called “The Silence”.

In addition to the album release, they have finally posted a full length version of their title track, “Anywhere But Here” on their myspace page. So now you can quit replaying the short clips that were available before and actually get into the whole song. So go check it out! Let us know what you think.

Antillectual is hitting the road again this Saturday with their friends Rentokill for an 8-day tour of Germany, Belgium, and The Netherlands. To check out the exact dates and times head on over to the Dying Scene show’s section.

The Blackout has been staying busy on Warped Tour, and if you were wondering what exactly occupies their days when they aren’t on stage then you can check out their video Diary 1 right here. Get behind the scenes…ya know, without actually being able to get back there.

The band isn’t stopping with Warped, they will also be playing several other shows which you can check out on the Dying Scene show’s section. So if the long lines and crowds of over-heated fans aren’t your thing, then maybe one of these shows is more up your alley.

The Blackout released “The Best In Town” on Epitaph last month and have plans to do a digipak re-issue of their album, “Evil Game” August 4th on Metal Mind.

Rumor has been going around that Alexisonfire would be missing a few dates of Warped Tour. A family emergency had them considering taking a couple days off…but they came to a conclusion to stick it out with the tour! So if you were bummed thinking Warped wouldn’t be the same without them, turn that frown upside down and head to the show!

Alexisonfire released their last album in June, “Young Crows/Old Cardinals” on Vagrant Records.

Chicago’s Celtic-punk outfit Flatfoot 56 have finished recording their newest album and are presently shopping for a label to release it on.  Here’s what the band has to say about it:

The new album is totally finished and waiting to kill all who hear it with its sheer awesomeness. We have been hearing that rumors are going around that we scrapped the whole project and started over, but this is NOT true. The real reason for the delayed release is because we have been in negotiations with record labels for the past few weeks and trying to get that in place so we can get it out to you in the best way possible. We are shooting for an early 2010 release. We are extremely excited about it and can’t wait for Flatfoot fans to get their ears on its goodness. Expect some good hard-hitting tunes with a number of tracks featuring both Kyle and Justin’s vocals as leads.

The as-yet untitled full-length will arrive as the follow-up to the band’s 2007 release, “Jungle Of The Midwest Sea”. Johnny Rioux of Street Dogs took the helm as the album’s producer and engineer.

Polar Bear Club just released their “Summer of George” EP which includes 2 tracks off their upcoming full-length “Chasing Hamburg” and one entirely new ‘bonus” track.

“Chasing Hamburg” is due out September 8th on Bridge 9 Records.

The Revival Tour is a US tour featuring entirely acoustic performances by a plethora of punk rock musicians.  – “Jefe, what is a plethora?”  “Why, El Guapo?”  “Well, you told me I have a plethora. And I just would like to know if you know what a plethora is.”…  3 Amigos?  Anybody?  No?  OK.  Anyway, this year marks the tour’s second anniversary and on it you’ll find acts such as Chuck Ragan, Joey Cape (Lagwagon), Tim Barry (Avail), Frank Turner and many more.

The tour begins October 13th and runs until November 22nd.  Go here for the tour dates.
