For those of you familiar with Get Dead, you know them as San Francisco’s leading “acoustic” punk rock outfit.  Get ready for a curveball though, because this acoustic band has recently posted 2 very un-acoustic punk rock tracks to their myspace page.  “Only Human” appeared on the Punk Rock Concoction Vol. 3 and “Second Look” appears… ummm… on their myspace page.

We have it on good authority that Get Dead have plans to release their electric debut on Horns Up Records late this summer or early fall.  The album isn’t titled yet but the band did have this to say about it:

Fueled by whiskey, PBR, And other illicit substances the sound and material on this album in my opinion is or best shit yet. Getting away from the more introverted themes and focusing on more white knuckle rock commenting on the scene (or lack there of) wasting full paychecks at bars, and going for broke in other aspects of get dead for the sheer love of hitting the road and saying fuck the bullshit.

Get Dead released “Letters Home” in 2006.

Sweden’s melodic punk act, Atlas Losing Grip, have posted 3 new tracks from their upcoming EP on their myspace page.  If you’re a fan of Ignite you might want to check this band out.

Atlas Losing Grip released their last album “Shut The World Out” on Bells On Records in July of ’08 and the band is currently shopping for a new label to release their as yet untitled upcoming EP.
