Washington DC’s Darkest Hour have just posted two brand-new webisodes on their MySpace page. In the videos, the whole band breaks down their entire new album, “The Eternal Return”, track by track, giving fans a real insight into what this record means to them.

“The Eternal Return” is being released on Victory and drops June 23rd.

Politically charged street punkers, The Class War Kids, have 4 new tracks for you to check out from their forthcoming release “Reflection! Rage! Rebellion!”.  2 of the tracks can be found on the band’s myspace page and the other 2 are on Rebel Time Record’s myspace page.  I gotta say, after hearing these songs I’m really looking forward to getting my hands on the whole album.

“Reflection! Rage! Rebellion!” will be released on Rebel Time Records next month.

You can stream The Cab’s forthcoming release “The Lady Luck EP” over on their PureVolume page.

“The Lady Luck EP” will be released on Fueled By Ramen and hits stores (iTunes) June 23rd.

Bury Your Dead will be hosting the next episode of Headbanger’s Ball on MTV2! Here are a few clips and outtakes from the show. You can watch the whole show at 2:00 am, this Saturday on MTV2.

Bury Your Dead released their last album, “It’s Nothing Personal”, in May on Victory Records.

Minneapolis rockers Four Letter Lie talk to MTV2 about musical influences, life in their home town and life on the road. For some reason (read: to force you to watch more ads) the interview is broken into 4 segments. You can check them out here, here, here, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand here.

Four Letter Lie is currently working on a new album for Victory Records.

So this is a little odd, but it appears as if the lead singer of Seattle’s grunge punk rockers Boot Liquor has disappeared. The band is resorting to posting bulletins and blog posts on their myspace page to see if anybody has seen or heard from him.

It’s been a week and a half since anybody has seen James!! We’ve checked everywhere! We even got a hold of the cops so we could check his apartment, no sign of him. He’s missed a few practices and a recent show, which is very unlike him. If you have seen him at all, please shoot us a messege [on myspace]! Thanks.

Alright, boys and girls.  It’s time for a little Punk Rock gossip!

So, my best friend’s sister’s boyfriend’s brother’s girlfriend heard that Tim Mctague of Underoath talked some serious smack about Avenged Sevenfold in an interview with Metal Hammer, being quoted as follows:

People might associate us with Avenged Sevenfold because they’re pissed republicans and ‘so metal’, but they’re a gimmick, they’re a circus. They can play but they can’t write songs. What’s worse is the way they look. If you need to have make-up and crappy names like Synyster Gates to sell records, then you shouldn’t be here. (To watch a podcast with his full comments in context go to Metal Hammer)

Buuuuuutttt…  my cousin’s roommate’s step sister said she read that Tim stated today on the band’s myspace blog:

There’s obviously a fine line between being honest and careful when it comes to interviews. This is often a very severe impasse for me based on the fact that at times I find myself holding back, rather than just being able to have an open discussion of ideas. (To read his full response go to Underoaths myspace blog.)

It’s being reported that the two front men are meeting behind the gymnasium at 3 to settle things like men.  A poetry writing contest.

Vocalists Sean Smith and Gavin Butler of The Blackout talk nerves, hay-fever, and what kinds of things they like thrown at them on stage in a little chat with NME before their performance at Download 2009.

You can check out the video on Epitaphs Myspace blog.

The Blackout has recently released their new album “The Best In Town” on Epitaph Records June 9th.

Good news for Mad Caddies fans living in California.  The band announced today that they’ve added a handful of California shows in venues with capacities of 600 or less.  Check out the tour dates in the Dying Scene Shows section.

The California shows are to prep the band to their larger European Tour starting at the end of July.

Set Your Goals posted a brand new track from their upcoming album “This Will Be The Death Of Us”. Head over to SYG on MySpace to listen to “gaia bleeds (make way for man, feat. John Gula)”!

“This Will Be The Death Of Us” will be released on Epitaph and hits stores July 21st!
