Suicide Machines singer Jason Navarro has revealed the Detroit ska-punk vets are writing new music. He made the announcement in a recent Instagram post, showing a whiteboard breaking down the structure of some new songs. Two of the songs written by himself are titled “Safe” and “Evil Sauce”. The other two written by guitarist Justin Malek are named “Stealing Tips” and “Astonish (Black Metal)”.

Navarro doesn’t specify whether these songs will be featured on a new full-length album, but we’ll keep you posted as more details are revealed. The Suicide Machines released their last LP Revolution Spring through Fat Wreck Chords in 2020; it was their first new studio album in 15 years. They also put out a Split 12″ with Coquettish in 2022 on Bad Time Records.

DS News: Slick Shoes working on new album

Slick Shoes have revealed they are currently working on a new full-length album.

Slick Shoes have revealed they are currently working on a new full-length album. The SoCal skate punk veterans made the announcement in their latest Instagram post, with pictures of themselves in the studio writing the album. Also noteworthy is that guitarist Greg Togawa is back with the band for the first time since their 2002 self-titled album. They don’t say how far along in the process they are, so it’s hard to tell whether this record will be part of the growing list of awesome releases 2023 has in store. Fingers crossed!

This announcement comes as a bit of a surprise, considering the 17 year gap between the band’s 2020 comeback LP Rotation & Frequency and its predecessor Far from Nowhere. It’s a welcome surprise nonetheless, and I’m looking forward to seeing what direction they take.

Some of the songs on Rotation & Frequency had a slightly heavier sound than their earlier work so it’ll be interesting to see if they continue to lean into that or throw back to that old school Rusty / Burn Out sound a bit more. Stay tuned for more on the next Slick Shoes record!

  1. Hopefully this is still coming. Love Slick Shoes. All their albums are pretty great.

Dutch punks Ink Bomb have released a music video for their new song “Human Remains”. This is the first single from the sophomore album they’re currently working on. Check out the video below.

The band’s debut full-length Fiction was released in 2019. Guitarist Quirijn Foeken says they’re taking a different approach with their second album, with songs being written and and recorded in small batches:

“We wrote our first album Fiction in two years and then recorded everything. Now we alternate: we write a couple of songs and record these. After that, we focus on another couple of songs. That’s not only faster but also makes the album better. We keep each other sharp by getting the best out of short recording sessions.”

We’ll keep you posted as we learn more about Ink Bomb’s forthcoming LP.

DS News: Green Day streaming “Nimrod” 25th Anniversary Edition

Today marks the release of Green Day‘s 25th Anniversary Nimrod reissue. On top original studio album, the reissue also includes 14(!) previously unreleased demos and a 20-song live set recorded at Philadelphia’s Electric Factory in 1997. Nimrod XXV is available as a 5xLP vinyl box set (which Amazon is selling at a 14% discount right now), but if you just want to listen to it, you can do so below.

Nimrod was originally released on October 14th, 1997. It was Green Day’s third released on major label Reprise Records, and their fifth LP overall. It spawned hit singles in “Nice Guys Finish Last”, “Hitchin’ a Ride”, and of course, “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)”. The album peaked at #10 on the Billboard 200 and went on to sell over two million copies in the US, earning double platinum certification from the RIAA.

Listening to the demos included in this reissue for the first time was pretty damn cool. The Ramones “Chain Saw” cover isn’t anything to write home about, but raw recordings of songs like “Jinx”, “The Grouch”, and “Desensitized” are great. I found the original version of the acoustic track “When It’s Time” to be the most interesting (this later went on to be re-recorded for the Broadway adaptation of American Idiot).
