<p>We were recently bummed to learn that The Beaches‘ summer show in Allston was postponed all the way to November, a time when there is decidedly fewer beaches in our lives. But maybe things have a way of working out in the long run, and it’s better to constantly look ahead at what is coming than lament over what’s in the rear-view. To hold us over in the meantime, and subtlety further that truth, the Toronto band has released another […]</p>

<p>Here at Vanyaland we often highlight the glossier, more neon side of Swedish pop music. But for a few select nights in this hazy side of August, Retrograth has arrived to bring us into Stockholm’s more shadowy soundscapes. The somewhat mysterious analog wave project from Claes Nordling delivers three live performances of beats n’ treats this week, starting tonight (August 24) at a Dark Spring Boston show at Union Tavern in Somerville alongside Painters and Video Shoppe. Retrograth then plays Nokturnal […]</p>

Punk In Drublic came back swinging this year, taking the hybrid punk rock festival and craft beer expo on the road in Europe and the US. Earlier this summer, we even had word that organizers Fat Mike and Cameron Collins had Western Canada in their bleary-eyed sights! Here at Punknews we love a good party, and given the geography in question we dialled up our Canuck-focused offshoot Some Party to jointly offer a pair of free tickets for both the Edmonton and Abbotsford shows. Each date features headliners NOFX, Descendents, PUP, Strung Out, and Voodoo Glow Skulls – with some local flavour kicking things off. Edmonton (September 3) includes an appearance by veteran Alberta pop-punkers Chixdiggit! and new upstarts Real Sickies, while Abbotsford (September 4) ropes in the BC hardcore/punk acts Modern Terror and Rest Easy!

Today we are thrilled to bring you the premiere of the new video from St. Louis pop punkers Wes Hoffman and Friends! The video is for their new song "Where Summer Never Ends" and was directed and produced by Dane McCrary and Lane Twellman. Wes Hoffman said of the song, "“With ‘Where Summer Never Ends’ I wanted to write a fun, summertime tune that was easy to sing along to as well as relatable. The song is about deciding whether or not to stay in a difficult situation or to cut your losses and simply move on. We had a lot of fun filming the video and asked a lot of our friends to come be a part of it. We’re really looking forward to playing this one on the road.” The song will be on their upcoming LP due out next year and you can pre-save it right here. Wes Hoffman and Friends released their EP Rewrite The Story earlier this year. Watch the video below.
