Check out the new video by Super Cassette!

Today, we are pleased to debut the new video by Super Cassette! On Super Cassette's new album, the bad band mixes whimsical '80s video game references with, oh you know, THE IDEA IF LIFE IS EVEN WORTH LIVING? The band's new track, which seems insoired by AJJ, Jeff Rosenstock, and classic era Tegan and Sara, finds the group juggling heavy question with Nintendo bleeps. Speaking to Punknews, the band's Max Gerlock said, "When I wrote 'Continue' I was feeling utterly hopeless. I had quit my desk job to pursue music and focus on building community, then the pandemic happened and I was left with no ability to reach people or connect to others through music. Every path seemed doomed — boring nine-to-five job, music career, something in between — everything sounded like a dead end. But despite having the shit repeatedly kicked out of me, I still knew that I wanted to give this thing a shot. That I had something to offer to the world through my music and that I didn't want to give into my complacency or my mental health problems. This song and the album as a whole are about that: whether anyone gives a fuck in the end, all I know is that I have to create things and not let myself be consumed by bitterness. The album started in this dark place but ended up charting out a journey of self-actualization. Fundamentally I am a joyful person who wants to bring light into other people's lives. This album traces that whole journey."Super Continue? is out December 1 and you can see the video below.

Live Nation to drop merch cuts at certain venues, LJG launches petition to end merch cuts nationwide

Live Nation has announced that it will be dropping merch cuts at its club-sized venues as part of an initiative called “On The Road Again” which they have teamed up with Willie Nelson for. Along with 100% of merch sales going to artists, the program will also offer a $1500 (USD) stipend per show to all headlining and support acts to help with gas and travel costs. Financial bonuses will also be given to local promoters, tour representatives, and venue crew members who have worked over 500 hours over the course of this year. It will be rolled out over the next few months at venues including all of the House of Blues and Fillmore locations. This comes after artists, such as Jeff Rosenstock, began sharing breakdowns of how much in merch cuts they have to pay venues while on tour. In response to this announcement, Laura Jane Grace has launched a petition on moveon.org calling for Live Nation, AEG, and all venues and promoters to end merch cuts nationwide for artists and fans. The description for the petition reads in part,”This week, Live Nation announced it would stop taking merch cuts at some of its venues. While it’s a start, there are nearly 100 Live Nation venues this does not apply to and many, many more venues nationwide owned and operated by other companies. Every venue and promoter must follow suit. Venues and promoters—often one and the same, given Live Nation’s effective monopoly on the live music industry—do not design, manufacture, ship, transport, load, or unload, and in most cases sell an artist’s or band’s merchandise. Fans are already price-gouged by junk fees on ticket sales. Taking a cut of merchandise sales from artists not only drives up the cost of merchandise for fans, it also creates a situation for musicians where making ends meet is even more difficult in an already predatory industry.These cuts have such a negative impact on some artists, they are forced to consider leaving the industry altogether because they cannot afford to continue with their careers. The fans come to the venues for the artists, not for the venue owner or promoter. They buy merchandise to support the musicians they love, not because they’re fans of a corporation. Their money should go directly, and entirely, to the artists.”See a list of participating venues below.

Keep Moving Forward Festival pushes Lynn’s music scene to center stage

<p>When outsiders assign a nasty slogan to your city, let the local artists rewrite your reputation. For most folks outside of the North Shore, a mention of Lynn incurs a reflex-like recitation of a ditty long associated with the area: “Lynn, Lynn, the city of sin / You never come out the way you came in.” Jay Moon and other musicians hope to change that unflattering narrative — or at least ensure that people are leaving Lynn changed for the […]</p>
