Rise Against have a new album coming out in July 2018, however this is a departure from their traditional sound. Labeled The Ghost Note Symphonies, Vol 1 this album features acoustical and orchestral re-imaginations of previously released songs.
Check out the chill inducing version of their classic “Like the Angel” from Revolutions per Minute below.
So technically this is a little bit more of a "re-introducing" spotlight piece as Belgium's Chump actually got their start around 2001. They kicked around the scene for a bit until 2005 then disappeared. Until now. Pulling influences from exactly where you'd expect a European punk act from 2001 to pull from, Chump isn't reinventing the wheel when it comes to melodic skate punk, but they are churning it out with passion and talent, doing the sub-genre serious justice. Give their new EP "Welcome To The Punk Rock Family" here - it's got one of the best instrumental, intro tracks I've heard this year.
