Fake Problems announced tour dates for their headlining tour this summer (6/5 – 8/7).  They also announced that they will be giving away 2 free tickets to every show by randomly selecting from any users who leave a comment on their facebook page.  Good luck.  If you win, you owe us half that ticket.

You can check out the tour schedule in the Dying Scene shows section.

If you happened to find yourself sitting around wondering what the members from I Am Ghost were doing on tour at that exact moment, then you’re in luck!

Epitaph Records released “Those We Leave Behind” in 2008.

Melodic hardcore act, No Harm Done, has posted a new track on their myspace page.  After extensive research (read: 5 minutes on interpunk and thinkfastrecords.com) it appears as if this track may be brand new and previously unreleased.  If anybody knows otherwise, feel free to let me know what a jackass newsman I am in the comments.

No Harm Done released “Escape”, their debut Think Fast! Records full length, in March.

To be honest, I have no idea if anybody watches music videos anymore, but if you do then you’ll probably be stoked to know that today Green Day has premiered the video for “21 Guns”, the latest single off their album “21st Century Breakdown”.  You can check it out by clicking to the Full Story page.

Minneapolis punkers, Banner Pilot, have announced via their myspace blog that they have just finished recording and mastering their Fat Wreck Chords debut full-length. The band had this to say about the album:

it’s definitely the best thing we’ve done so far. I know every band always says that about their new record, even if their new record is a steaming pile of dog shit. I mean, do you ever hear a band say “Just finished the new record. It’s not nearly as good as our old stuff. Kind of sucks, even. Catch us on tour”? Of course not. But this time, we’re totally telling the truth.

The album is set to release this fall so I guess we’ll find out soon if they are telling the truth.

If you didn’t know, North America’s premiere political punk rockers, Propagandhi, released a compilation of rare, unreleased, live and otherwise completely terrible recordings on G7 Welcoming Committee back in ’98. If you were always curious as to whether any of the tracks were worth buying the album for you can now give them all a listen  on the band’s myspace page.

Propagandhi released their most recent album, “Supporting Caste”, in March.
