Motion City Soundtrack are looking to release their new upcoming album, Even If It Kills Me, on September 18th. Here is what the band had to say about what is going on recently:

Hi all, we’re in sunny Los Angeles shooting the final takes for our newvideo for “This Is For Real”. You’ll see this puppy in a few weeks, but we wanted to give you the head’s up that this thing is going to be “RIDICULOUS”, to put it in the words of Mr. Josh Cain.

Lots of other stuff happening in MCS world. We’re less then one month away from the release of our new album (Even If It Kills Me, in stores September 18), and of course, our big U.S. Headlining Tour this Fall with MAE, ANBERLIN, and METRO STATION is going to be great. Also, in case you forgot, we released the digital single for “This Is For Real” last week on iTunes.

Some cool stuff happening on the press front as well. Remember a couple of weeks ago when we played Lollapalooza? Well, we had the privilege of doing some fun stuff with Blender magazine, including this interview from backstage at Lolla. There is some live footage mixed in as well, so check it out to find out the latest on what’s happening in our world.

ALSO, there is a great new feature in the latest issue of Kerrang Magazine for you folks across the pond (it’s also available in the U.S.) where Justin talks about the songs and artists that changed his life. Be sure to check it out on the newstands, or, head over to our Myspace page to give it a read.

Most fans probably remember Nikki Sixx from the days he spent with Motley Crue. The days he spent heavily abusing drugs and his strong addiction to heroin. Since then he has recovered from his addiction and now re-released himself back into the rock scene with an incredibly real and powerful album. Sixx has team up with DJ Ashba and James Michaels (The Exies, Saliva, Meatloaf, Sammy Hagar…) with his new band, Sixx: AM. Nikki Sixx recently recovered a diary that he kept during prime years when he was with Motley Crue, vividly detailing and documenting his life as a rockstar and his heroin addiction. The diaries, The Heroin Diaries, will be released this September. His new album, The Heroin Diaries Soundtrack, is a strong, and powerful album that, brutally and emotionally, enters you into the world of a rockstar, drugs and all.

The album opens with a possible excerpt from his diaries, vividly putting you into a scene of drugs and the solitude it brings. A perfect precursor for what you’re about to hear. As the Christmas sounds drown the next track, Van Nuys, brings feet back to reality with a chorus, “Everybody gets high, everbody gets low…“, a chorus that you’ll surely be singing along too. The first single of album, Life Is Beautiful, is full of energy. James Michaels vocals are fulfilling, ranging from low to high notes. It amazes me to think that he hasn’t stepped up to the mic as a lead vocalist yet. Pray For Me, Tomorrow, and Accidents Can Happen are all solid songs which in turn is followed by an intermission, that made it hard for me not to think Trans Siberian Orchestra.

The second half of the album continues with Dead Man’s Ballet, which, begins with a narrated story of a near death experience, background choirs and changing tempos. The album mellows out and continues to share the honest stories of Sixx and his drug addictions. Girl With Golden Eyes, a track explicitly detailing what his body went through day by day as he gave up the drugs. “It’s like shock therapy to my guts”, Sixx remembers, but he keeps strong, continually repeating to himself “Everything will be ok, everything will be alright.” The album ends with monumental instrumentals and concluding narrations by Nikki Sixx, sharing his bitter realizations and his life after death.

The album is a solid release by Sixx:AM. I really felt like Sixx wrote his troubles and life changing moments with drugs through each song. This is everything a soundtrack would be, what you’d expect from a soundtrack, and it’s for a book. Sixx, DJ Ashba, and Michaels put together an album that is impactful, honest, explicit and just real. Not only do you feel the raw emotion in the lyrics, the music itself lives beyond it’s expectations. Make sure to pick up yourself a copy of Sixx:AM – Heroin Diaries, in stores every where August 28th. Or just click on this link to preorder it: Sixx:AM – The Heroin Diaries

Combinations, the second full length from Tyler, Texas pop-rockers, Eisley hits stores tomorrow, August 14th but you can hear it now in its entirety, exclusively on MySpace. Head over to https://myspace.com/eisley for a first listen.

When listening to Eisley?s new album Combinations, it doesn?t take long to hear why the Tyler, Texas quintet has earned such ardent fans. In the first minute of the album?s opener ? the rock-oriented ?Many Funerals? ? sisters and vocalists Stacy and Sherri DuPree trade lines and harmonize with a beauty unique in modern music, as the guitars and drums carry the song along.

Building on the success of their lauded debut Room Noises, the guitar-driven Combinations is a diverse collection of songs that nevertheless fit comfortably together. The lyrics shift effortlessly from romantic to quirky (?Invasion? even involves an alien takeover), but always keep the listener fixated on the track at hand.

But where Room Noises contained a mix of new songs and re-recorded older tunes, Combinations is the band?s first full-length of all new material. ?It was exhilarating for us to have an opportunity to start from scratch,? Stacy says. ?We were excited to start writing this record and, because of that energy, we wrote a lot of the songs very quickly.? The album was produced by former Oingo Boingo keyboardist Richard Gibbs.

Oasis will release a two disc DVD which documents their 2005 world tour titled ‘Lord Don’t Slow Me Down’ internationally on October 29th. The first disc includes audio commentary from the group plus a Q&A session with Noel Gallagher. Disc two features 16 tracks from their hometown concert in Manchester, England. The band is currently writing for the follow-up to 2005’s ‘Don’t Believe the Truth’.

Chiodos have revealed the tracklisting to Bone Palace Ballet. It is possible that there maybe a few other songs featured on special release editions of the album. No details have been given, but in an interview with AltPress they mentioned titles of a few tracks such as:
Memoirs of a Narcoleptic Mountain Man
A Final Opinion Is Of Less Value Than An Appreciation Of And Tolerance For Obscurity

but currently the official track list is as follows:

01) Is it Progression if a Cannibal Uses a Fork?
02) Lexington. (Joey Pea-Pot with a Monkey Face)
03) Bulls Make Money, Bears Make Money, Pigs Get Slaughtered
04) A Letter From Janelle
05) I Didn’t Say I Was Powerful, I Said I Was a Wizard
06) Teeth The Size of Piano Keys
07) Life is a Perception of Your Own Reality
08) If I Cut My Hair, Hawaii Will Sink
09) Intensity In Ten Cities
10) The Undertaker’s Thirst For Revenge Is Unquenchable (The Final Battle)

Album will be in stores on September 4th.
