You can hear 2 new tracks from progressive, punk rockers Whaleface over on their myspace page.

The band is currently recording a full length DIY follow-up to their self-titled EP, also put out DIY in 2007(?) – Yes, I may have made that date up.  The old release date doesn’t really matter, but what does matter is that the critics loved that EP and highly recommend you give it a listen (and by “critics” I mean “me“).

Pop Punk icons Green Day announced today that the video for the bands latest single “21 Guns” will premiere this Sunday, June 21st on myspace.com/GreenDay at 9:00pm PST. If for some reason you’re so excited about this you absolutely have to see a 30 second sneak peak of the video, you can do so here.

“21 Guns” is the lastest single off Green Day’s latest release “21st Century Breakdown” which hit stores May 15th.

Dutch pop punkers, The Apers, announced today that their forthcoming album “You Are Only As Strong As The Table You Dance On” will be released via Asian Man Records on July 14th.

The band also announced they will be supporting the release with a North American tour this summer. You can check out the exact tour dates here.

If you’re not familiar with The Apers yet and you’re a fan of The Queers you should definitely check these guys out.

The Aggrolites talk about their brand new album IV. Check it out on their myspace blog.

“IV” was released June 9th on Hellcat Records.

If you’re a fan of melodic Fat Wreck style skate punk circa the mid ’90s then you’re in luck. Chaser is making sure the scene is alive and well in Southern California, delivering amazing live performances and producing solid records. These guys can’t seem to write a bad song! Don’t believe us? Go give their music a listen on MySpace. Word is they just finished recording their 2nd full length and if it’s anything like their last (see our review of “Numb America“) then it’s proof the melodic skate punk Scene is anything but Dying…

Apparently A Skylit Drive has never performed acoustically until now.  (Why do I find that hard to believe?).  Anyway, you can check out videos for the acoustic performance of “Those Cannons Could Sink A Ship”, “Wires and the Concept of Breathing”, and “Eva the Carrier” (parts 1 &2) on the band’s myspace blog.

A Skylit Drive just released their latest album “Adelphia” on Fearless Records.

If you’re a huge Paramore fan you might this interesting.  If not so much, just go ahead and skip to the next post…

The band announced today that they have officially added Taylor York to their lineup.  Read the band’s official statement below:

We recognize the fact that it’s way overdue. Oh well. Today is the day. The four of us (Hayley, Zac, Josh and Jeremy) are proud to announce that Taylor York, a touring member of Paramore for over 2 years, is now an official member of the band!

Old Shoe Records announced via thier myspace blog that they will be making available the 3rd volume of their comp “Welcome To The Family” at the Warped Tour and any other Old Shoe events this summer.  The album will feature 20 tracks from Old Shoe bands and others, including Gaslight Anthem, Far From Finished, and Death By Stereo, and will only cost a buck.

We wanted to post this because we recently discovered that a lot of the Old Shoe bands are freaking awesome.  That, and they promised to pay us 1% of the revenue from each sale which our non-existent accountant tells us could be worth millions!

You can see the entire tracklisting for the comp here.

Boston’s Metal/Hardcore act Killswitch Engage have uploaded a new track entitled “Reckoning” off their self titled release due out June 30th on Roadrunner Records.

You can check out the new track on the band’s myspace page.
