| 03.26.08 | Valient Thorr Reschedule Dates for Valient Himself to Donate Kidney |
| Valient Himself announced today that Valient Thorr will be postponing all activities April 15th through June 10th to allow him to donate a kidney to his ailing father. Valient’s decision to take public what is a private family event stems from the National Kidney Foundation’s outreach. As Valient Thorr is on a single-minded mission to spread their message of redemption wrapped in rock n’ roll, this is another chance to illuminate a critically important issue that people don’t think about unless they are personally touched. Says Valient (pictured), “If I can go from a hospital bed to playing in front of a crowd of 75,000 at the UK’s Download Festival in just eight weeks, people out there might consider becoming organ donors as well. If they have family members who need a kidney, it’s definitely something to think about; and if not, they can still learn about designating themselves as organ donors on their driver’s license.” More information on kidney donations can be found at http://www.kidney.org or http://www.livingdonors.org. – Alexa [05.11pm] |

| 03.25.08 | BAYSIDE TO RE-RELEASE WALKING WOUNDED |
| Long Island’s beloved BAYSIDE are to release The Walking Wounded: Gold Edition on July 22, 2008, a deluxe CD/DVD package of their fourth studio album. The extended CD package will include live acoustic tracks to be recorded at a special performance that will be filmed at Looney Tunes in Long Island on Monday, May 12th. (Visit http://www.ltcds.com for more details on the in-store performance). The accompanying DVD is planned to include the full Looney Tunes performance, behind-the-scenes documentary of the band on their Spring 2008 tour, and their music videos from The Walking Wounded.
Directed by Josh Horowitz, Bayside’s new video for their track “Carry On” will debut as the “Featured Video” on MySpace.com this Wednesday, March 26th. The single release date in the UK is 7th July. Once their current national headlining tour with The Starting Line wraps up in late Spring, the band plan to enter Los Angeles’ Red Bull Studios in June to write and record their fifth studio album, tentatively titled Shudder. The follow-up to The Walking Wounded is set for release September 30, 2008 and will be produced by David Schiffman (Weezer, Jimmy Eat World, Johnny Cash). “I think we know what Bayside is supposed to sound like,” explains vocalist/guitarist Anthony Raneri. “We have figured it out and we don’t plan on changing the formula. We love what we’ve become and we can only hope to get better at what we do. We have the most time we’ve ever had to prepare for this record from the writing process to the recording process but we want to be sure not to overthink the songs and let them sound the way they were meant to sound. It is going to be the fastest, most energetic, catchiest and most exciting record we have ever made. We are feeling youthful and excited as people and I think it is going to come out in the music.” For upcoming tour dates, please refer to www.myspace.com/bayside. |
