Southern California’s melodic, skate-punk rockers, DC Fallout plan on recording new music in August for a potential full-length release come December.  The guys are unsigned and most of you don’t know who they are, but if you liked the “Epifat” punk sound of the 90’s you should put DC Fallout on your radar.

Interesting side note, their song “T.O.F.U.” sounds incredibly similar to Propagandhi‘s “Dear Coache’s Corner”.  Listen to it yourself and tell me I’m wrong. Hey, more bands should sound like Propagandhi in my opinion…

Yesterday we reported that Thrice‘s upcoming album “Beggars” leaked almost 3 months before its originally scheduled release date of October 13th.  Today the band has announced that in response to the leak they will be digitally releasing “Beggers” on August 11th while the physical release is still up in the air.

You can read the official statement from the band below, which basically says what I just wrote:

Good news. We have confirmed a August 11, 2009 digital release of Beggars. The digital album will be available exclusively through iTunes. The date of CD release is still pending, but it will contain bonus material. We’ll let you know more about that as soon as we can.

Thanks again for your support over the past few days as we’ve dealt with this situation.

In Fear And Faith has posted what I like to call a “video collage” of all 4 of the bands that will be playing on the upcoming Pulling Your Pud Tour which kicks off September 27th. Its cool because you get a 15 second taste of what each of the bands sound like so you can better prepare yourself for all the rocking that will happen on this tour. You can see the video by going to the bands myspace bulletin. But wait, it gets better… scroll down to the bottom of the bulletin and you can watch yet ANOTHER video of all the guys talking about touring, where they stole their band name from (hint: it rhymes with Schmirca Schmurvive) and then get a tour of their home-on-wheels. So go check out the videos and after you do that, run over to the bands Dying Scene Shows page to see where they’ll be playing.

In Fear And Faith released their first full length album “Your World On Fire” on Rise Records in Janruary of 2009.

Lead vocalist of The Loved Ones Dave Hause, has announced he will be playing solo on Chuck Ragan’s Revival Tour. Does this mean Dave is thinking of breaking away from The Loved Ones and doing his own thing? We shall see… Dave states:

“I’ve been writing songs and will be recording my album in August in Baltimore, and my dear friend Pete Steinkopf is going to produce it.  A bunch of great buds have agreed to play on it, so it should be a great time.  The Loved Ones will head out in September across the states, and on a break, I was able to agree to playing a few shows on Chuck Ragan’s Revival Tour. This was one of my favorite shows of last year to attend, so I’m ecstatic about being asked to do this.”

If you’re interested in getting a taste of what Dave Hause is like solo, you can head over to his myspace page for a quick listen. Dave will be performing on the Revival Tour the 13th through the 20th. To see all the dates for the tour go to Chuck Ragans Dying Scene Show page.
