A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away (or in this case Birmingham, UK), a band was born! That band’s name? The Zatopeks! Now, on this glorious day, 23 years later, and now residing in Germany, the Zatopeks continue to carry the old school pop-punk torch with pride, bringing us their brand new album Loitering & Sauntering. The record releases digitally tomorrow (July 5th) on Stardumb Records, with the physical release slated for August 8th.

However, DyingScene.com (that’s us!) is pleased to bring you the exclusive, world premiere(!) of Loitering & Sauntering! That’s right, you can listen to this wonderful album in its entirety right here, right now. Just scroll down the webpage a lil bit and click play. I can say with absolute certainty you won’t regret it. Also! Buy the record. You can get it on translucent pink vinyl and “babylon green” vinyl (each limited to 100 copies), as well as black wax (200 copies) right here. It’s also available from Forbidden Beat in Canada, Brassneck Records in the UK, The Machine Shop in the US, and Endless Detention Records in Australia.

Here are some words from the Zatopeks’ fearless leader (and singer) Will DeNiro:

“Loitering and Sauntering is our fourth album and our most history-inspired to date. If you’re into suburban paranoia, early twentieth-century antifascism, Cold War spies, insomnia on public transport or Polish Prime Ministers’ haircuts, then the songs really do offer something for everyone.”

This premiere is brought to you in part by Punk Rock Radar. If you’d like your band’s music video to be premiered by Dying Scene and Punk Rock Radar, go here and follow these instructions. You’ll be on your way to previously unimagined levels of fame and fortune in no time!

MEST has had a busy year so far touring across Europe before stopping back home to Chicago…and they are not done yet!

115 Bourbon Street is a New Orleans-themed venue packed with multiple stages and on Friday, June 28th hosted MEST and a slew of other bands, including Rematch, NightCap and Highwire.

MEST released the new album ‘Youth‘ via SBÄM Records on June 21st. It features guest appearances by Jaret Reddick of Bowling For Soup and Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills.

Of the new LP, founding member and front man Tony Lovato says, “The drives to the studio were about an hour and 20 minutes long. A lot of my inspiration for this record was found on those drives. I would just listen to all the records that I grew up listening to. Which brought back a ton of memories. It would just put me in another state of mind. The majority of “Youth” was written up in the hills of Los Angeles where I recorded a bunch of our early records. I would get random flashbacks seeing spots I hadn’t seen in years. But as much as I love all the memories and stories of the past, I’m not one to think that the best days are over. I’m creating new core memories and living my life now, so that in 20 years I’ll look back fondly. The same as I do now. These songs are a cheers to the past with a here’s to the future.”

MEST released their seventh album, ‘Masquerade,’ in January 2020, just before the COVID-19 pandemic. They toured extensively in 2019 with Reel Big Fish, Less Than Jake, and Millencolin. Looking ahead, MEST plans to release three new LPs, starting with ‘Youth,’ and has secured deals with Avex Records in Japan and SBAM Records in Europe.

When asked to sum up 28 years of MEST, Tony replied, “I don’t know, I mean honestly it feels like we’re just getting started…”

Maintaining their blue-collar work ethic, MEST continues to earn fans through their grassroots approach and looks forward to performing their energetic live shows worldwide. The future looks promising as they prepare to release new music and hit the road again.

MEST will continue to keep the ball rolling with shows in Mexico this month, followed by some West Coast stops in September.

DS Exclusive: The Punk Cellist’s new cover of NOFX’s “It’s My Job To Keep Punk Rock Elite”

We’re back with another kickass premiere, this time from one of our favorite musicians and dudes ever, The Punk Cellist!

We’re back with another kickass premiere, this time from one of our favorite musicians and dudes ever, The Punk Cellist! Ian Legge has been tirelessly working on an extremely technical and unique full length these past few months and we’re super stoked to premiere its first single, The Punk Cellist’s rendition of NOFX‘s “It’s My Job to Keep Punk Rock Elite”.

The new record, due out later this fall, features songs from bands across the punk spectrum including Turnstile, Ramones, New Found Glory, Propagandhi, Blink 182, and more. Recorded in New Bedford, MA with none other than Trevor Reilly of A Wilhelm Scream, Legge played far more than only cello for this release, he demonstrated his mastery of every instrument during the full band sections.

Half the record is comprised of cello-only tracks similar to his EP released last year, while the other half includes a lead cello played over fast, melodic skate and pop punk. To catch The Punk Cellist live, his one remaining festival date is July 5 at Camp Punksylvania where he’ll be playing the full band half of the record.

What seems like ages ago, but was really only a little over a year, I had the pleasure of interviewing Ian over zoom. There is no doubt that another interview will be happening soon to coincide with the full length’s release, but you can check out the old interview here, along with The Punk Cellist’s brand new track and previously released EP below. Cheers!

MGMT take it outside for a look at ‘People In The Streets’


Music

<p>There’s a long July 4 holiday weekend coming up fast here in our part of the world, and usually, Independence Day is one where most American folx take it outside. So the new MGMT video for “People In The Streets” caught our eye after it dropped yesterday (July 2), and while we don’t think it’s necessarily about chillin’, grillin’, and shooting Roman candles off into the neighbor’s yard, we can appreciate the portal into something more urgent. The track is […]</p>

Lana Del Rey gets ‘Tough’ in new collab with Quavo


Music

<p>Boston heard it first — after teasing a new song during her concert at Fenway Park last month, Lana Del Rey has officially dropped her collab with Quavo. “Tough” is an Americana-dusted hip-hop duet that indulges in classic imagery from Del Rey’s songbook: Scuffed leather boots, red earth, and glasses sloshing with hard liquor. The tune and accompanying music video arrived today (July 3), because of course Lana Del Rey is gonna go full ‘Murican before the Fourth of July. […]</p>
