Incubus will be releasing a new CD/DVD titled Look Alive this November 27th. The release will be a continuing support to their latest album Light Grenades. The DVD will include exclusive behind-the-scenes footage as well as other bonus material. The CD will include 5 live tracks as well as original musical pieces composed by Mike Einziger, their lead guitarist. Also Light Grenades will be reissued on November 27th as well. Look for both Look Alive and Light Grenades next month!

The Audition have recently finished up their second full-length album, El Champion. The album will be a follow-up to their 2005’s debut Controversy Loves Company. The album will feature 10 new tracks. Drummer Ryan O’Connor says “This album is more sexual, it’s a big change of pace, and I’d say it has a lot more soul too it too. Every song is a little bit different but it’s weird because they all fit together and it flows well.” He continue to add, “We wrote an album that we really love and we really believe in and there’s not a song on the record that we don’t like. We really feel like we’ve put everything into this and this is the best that we’ve done yet. We think people are really gonna enjoy it.” The Chicago based band recorded the album in a studio in Windsor, New York. El Champion is to be released at the end of January 2008 on Victory Records. Make sure to catch them on tour to get a glimpse into their new songs.

The Sounds Of Animals Fighting have stated that they will be recording a third album under Epitaph records.

Here is a recent post:

After one album, a reissue of our first EP, and a live DVD (three very special releases to us), we bring you the latest newsflash: our third album will be released on the pioneering and long-established Epitaph Records. We were extremely blessed to have had the opportunities provided for us by Equal Vision Records for the aforementioned releases, and could not have been happier there. The label and staff remain friends, and we will continue to work closely with them to make sure our merchandise is available to all of you. This third record coming out on Epitaph simply gives us a chance to reach new channels and new faces, which, ultimately, will work in everyone’s favor, as you and we continue to grow, while simultaneously maintaining the independent ethics so important to us. Thank you for your ongoing support, and, as always, believe nothing you hear unless it comes straight from us. We are excited for the ongoing future of this incredibly cathartic project.

Go listen to Thrice – The Alchemy Index volumes I & II: Fire & Water up for full stream on their myspace right now!

And go pick up the album in stores now! (and on iTunes and Amazon MP3 and eMusic)

Dillinger Escape Plans will be releasing their new album Ire Works in about 1 month from now. A new song, Lurch, can be found on their myspace.

Here’s a recent post from the band:

So check it out. One month from now our new album drops. So to tide you over for another thirty days we just put up another song called “Lurch”. It’s a fucking face melter. So if getting your face melted off is your idea of a good time I suggest you go check it out.

You can pre-order “Ire Works” now, go here to the Relapse store and do it. OR if you are feeling extra god-like you can get it with a new limited edition Dillinger shirt over here. Either one is acceptable. If you listen to kingly shit but have no desire to dress like a king click on the first link, if you listen to kingly shit and also wanna look equally kingly, click on the second. You come out ahead either way really.

Lets see what else….we’re doing tons of promo stuff for the record, answering the same questions 200 different times, so if you happen to read magazines you’ll be seeing our lovely faces in a bunch of them, we’ll try to keep you updated on bigger articles. We have some new pics in the pic section, what else, Ben’s foot is healing nicely, he’ll be ready to roll for the rescheduled dates, which will be announced soon. Some of you are still pretending that we’re playing in October or November, let me remind everyone again that we are NOT playing any shows in the US in October, and none in Europe/UK in November. EVERYTHING is being rescheduled. We’ll get the new stuff finalized and announced soon. So stop sending messages saying “Can’t wait to see you tomorrow in blah blah blah” cause it just bums us out and is just plain not true, unless blah blah blah is the Rockaway Diner, cause then you’re probably right.

Jeff got about 4000 phone calls, thanks for that. Feel free to keep calling.

Head over to Lucky 13 Saloon in Brooklyn on the 22nd(next monday night) of this month, I’m gonna be doing a little guest DJ spot and will be spinning nonstop ’87 everything. Punk, hardcore, thrash, garage, noise, and whatever else falls under the “rock that doesn’t suck” category. Ben’s coming too and we’re gonna throw new DEP songs in the mix as the night progresses. Come out and say hi and bring gifts. It’ll be easy to find us, we’ll be the really really really good looking guys in the back…if good looking means short. John LaMacchia of Candiria/Spylacopa fame bartends, so it’s gonna be a pretty good time. We’re gonna sit around and talk about polyrhythms all night…..not.

Pssshhh….Gil Sharone was on FULL FUCKING HOUSE. Pass it on. He didn’t ever want us to see that shit but he should know better then to think we’re gonna find out about anything and let it slide. Ah fuck..this shit is rich. Seriously though don’t be embarassed man! Jeff was teenage Rudy in The Cosby Show!

So recap. Go crank the new song, preferably at maximum volume, pre-order our new record with or sans shirt, watch Gil do a cheer and talk about being chafed on Full House, come out to Lucky 13 on the 22nd, keep calling JT, and stay tuned for our new tour dates.

Kiss Kiss Hug Hug,

Here it is, Senses Fail new music video, The Priest and The Matador:

Nine Inch Nails has left Interscope after many conflictions, especially over the past year with the artist and the label. Here is an announcement about the release:

Hello everyone. I’ve waited a LONG time to be able to make the following announcement: as of right now Nine Inch Nails is atotally free agent, free of any recording contract with any label. I have been under recording contracts for 18 years and have watched the business radically mutate from one thing to something inherently very different and it gives me great pleasure to be able to finally have a direct relationship with the audience as I see fit and appropriate. Look for some announcements in the near future regarding 2008. Exciting times, indeed.
