Fall Out Boy‘s Patrick Stump que’s in Billboard.com about new songs that he has been working on. Stump stated, “I’ve got a bunch of songs written, but I think I’m going to wait a while before we release it, because I’m still really proud of this record and I want to kind of give it some space.” Their latest release, Infinity On High has only been out for nearly six months, so I’m sure we can expect still some time before the next release. It’d be interesting to see where they plan to go with their new music, considering all the collaboration they did on the latest release. I guess only time will tell…

Victory recently signed Secret Life Of The Freemasons. The sound very similar to bands like Emery, Glassjaw, Boys Night Out. Check them out and look for material by them.

Drummer, Matt Sorum of Velvet Revolver, is good friends with Lars Ulrich and is one of the first to get an inside listen to Metallica‘s new album. Here is what Matt had to say about what he’s heard so far:

Lars [Ulrich] is a good friend of mine. He played me the demos from San Francisco, and I turned and looked at him and I said, ‘Master that shit and put it out.’ It’s ridiculous. The demos were sick. Eight-minute songs, all these tempo changes, crazy fast. It’s like, ‘Dude, don’t get slower when you get older, but don’t get faster!? How are you gonna play this live?’ And then me and Lars were out partying all night, and he had to go in the studio the next day and do this stupid like nine- or ten-minute song, and I was laughing at him ? because he played me the demo of it, and it was [sings really fast drum part], so fast. I called him, and said, ‘Dude, how are you feeling?’ He was like, ‘Dude, I’m hurting.’ They’re cutting everything to tape, no fuckin’ ProTools ? live, no clicks. Bitchin’. I dig it. I’m really excited for them.

I’ve been a big fan of Incubus for quite a number of years now and I finally made it to my first Incubus show. I had the exclusive privelage to meet the band, each member individually. The guys are an awesome group and talented graphically just as well as musically. Check out Brandon Boyd’s artwork and books at www.brandonboydbooks.com, some amazing stuff. After meeting with the band I was blown away with the performance. They played for nearly 2 hours and covered songs of nearly every album, including the cover song “Stand By Me”. I took quite a few pictures that I felt necessary to share with you. If you’re a fan of Incubus and have never seen them live, do make sure you do. Simply amazing.

And now, here are the pictures:

Kid Rock announced that his new album entitled, “Rock and Roll Jesus”, is set to drop September 25th. His new single off his forth coming album, “So Hot”, will be released on the radio August 13th.

It appears that Pete Wentz, renowned bassist for Fall Out Boy, has proposed to his girlfiend, Ashlee Simpson. Sources say that Wentz proposed to her after Fall Out Boys performance at Live Earth on July 7th, 2007.

A close friend to the couple said, “Ashlee and Pete are desperate to keep the engagement quiet for as long as they can so they can make wedding plans in peace. She definitely doesn’t want a big circus wedding like [her sister] Jessica [Simpson] had when she married Nick [Lachey]. All she wants is a simple ceremony with her family, his family, and a handful of people.”

Ashlee Simpson’s press officer has denied this being true, so I guess it’s going to remain quiet, or is this just a rumor?

After the success of Atreyugame.com, the band has now posted ?Becoming the Bull? on their Myspace. ?Becoming The Bull? is the first single off the new album, Lead Sails Paper Anchor, which hits stores on August 28th. The band kicked off the Family Values tour in St. Louis July 20th. For more information on the Family Values tour and to check out ?Becoming The Bull? go to www.myspace.com/atreyurock
