09.10.06 VMAs HONOR SHANE DRAKES PANIC! VIDEO OF THE YEAR
Shane Drake was honored when the Panic! At The Disco video he directed, I Write Sins, Not Tragedies, was named the Video of the Year at MTVs Video Music Awards September 1. It’s a pretty overwhelming experience, he stated. This just isn’t the type of award you think is attainable. Then when you get it, it seems as though your whole world gets turned upside down. I hope that with every video I do, I am able to bring a level of originality and emotion that both fits with the band and resonates with the hearts and souls of the viewing public.I love my job, and am grateful to have the opportunity to work with such amazing people!
The next chance music fans will get to see Drakes work will be the video for the song Single & Loving It, by the New York City hardcore band Endwell. The track is off of Endwells debut album, Homeland Insecurity, which will be released October 31 on Victory Records, the national top-selling independent rock label. Drake just finished shooting the bands live performance scenes, shot outdoors against the Big Apple skyline. Working with Endwell was a total blast! Drake says. I love bands that are willing to take creative risks and have a passion for what they do.
Endwell will be bringing their passion and musical fury live to clubs from Texas and Michigan to Florida and their hometown from now until the end of October. Heres where you can catch them:

    08.15.06 STREET DOGS BECOME ROAD DOGS!
    Having put the finishing touches on their third album, Fading American Dream, STREET DOGS are currently on the road with legendary Orange County punk-rockers The Adolescents. The tour winds down in Tempe, AZ on August 20th. But theres no rest for these road-tested veterans, as the Boston band gets back in the van again in mid-October as direct support to seminal punk rockers Bouncing Souls, an Old School style tour that will take them straight into the New Year.
    After two months in the studio with producer Ted Hutt (Flogging Molly, Bouncing Souls) the band, whose ranks include former members of Dropkick Murphys and Mighty Mighty Bosstones, is bringing a renewed fire and energy to their live show as they test out tracks from their latest effort.
    “Fading American Dream is a collection of 13 songs, 2 years in the making, STREET DOGS vocalist Mike McColgan explains. The record is full of blood, sweat, tears, raw emotion, frustration and joy. Our producer, Ted Hutt, pushed and challenged us to the peak of our abilities. The end result is a release reflecting all of the above as well as our collective influences, some past band experiences, and our live performances.”
    The new album stays true to STREET DOGS own particular brand of politically-charged punk rock, delivering sobering messages via music that is drunk on hooks. The album and title track, Fading American Dream, is about common people, songs about youth and the predicament of being left behind and being brought up on a war culture reflects McColgan, songs that talk about the declining rights for workers, like Common People not without a purpose, not without a fight .
    Fading American Dream hits streets October 10th on the bands own imprint Brass Tacks Records (distributed through DRT Entertainment) and features guest appearances by James Fearnley (The Pogues) and Matt Hensley (Flogging Molly).
    Catch STREET DOGS on Bouncing Souls Gold Tour this Fall and be sure to visit the official tour website for the latest tour updates & schedule. The band is currently on the road with The Adolescents.

    08.15.06 GLORY OF THIS VOCALIST STEPS ASIDE!
    James Harrah, vocalist of Florida-based melodic hardcore band GLORY OF THIS (Indianola Records), has stepped aside from the band for personal reasons.
    GLORY OF THIS will remain a band, and their tour schedule will continue uninterrupted, with the band filling in for its vocal vacancy, until a replacement is found. Harrah will continue to work for the band behind the scenes. As stated in Harrah’s MySpace blog, the move might not even be permanent.
    The band will continue to support Harrah’s vision, promoting their recent album, THE LOVER, THE LIAR, THE RUSE, which was released July 11 on Indianola Records.
    Message to GLORY OF THIS fans from vocalist James Harrah:
    “Alright… Where to begin.
    I couldn’t begin to emphasize what this band has/will always mean to me. Let me start by explaining that my bow away from this is in NO way personal and there is no negativity between myself and the rest of the guys. They couldn’t have seen it coming because not even I knew.
    There are always reasons why people think of being home and not on the road. Friends, family, relationships, money, health, etc. I’ve experienced them all 10 fold and yet none of them ever held me back from doing what I STILL believe is my dream and ambition. Ultimately there was something that came up in my family that has led me to make this life-altering decision.
    I am broken down on a multitude of levels. There is the situation I left my brothers in GOT with, the feeling I have and had when I had to tell them, the feeling I have when I wake up now, and inevitably the response from all of you. Its something that haunts me and will tear away at me but its something that I just had to do. I haven’t had a lot of things in my life and my family is one of those few.
    Cory and I being the only original members that have been in this band since its conception in Sept 2003. We’ve gone through trying and testing times but still managed to make it as far as we have. Grant came into the band around June 2004 and has ever since been like a brother to me. I’ve lived with him and we have fed off each other for over 2 years. Chino and David are my companions who came into Glory of This when we really needed them. They had been acquaintances for times before but since their introduction to Glory of This, they have been nothing short of incredible people and musicians. These are still my friends and I am losing them along with the band.
    I hope there is a level of understanding from the best people on this planet ever… our fans. You have all fueled my personal initiative and drive to be in this band. I have met some incredible people during my time in this amazing project and will hold on to all of those dreams for eternity.
    I still continue to work with Glory of This seeing that I have always sort of micro-managed the band while fronting it and now I will continue to do so from home. These guys are doing ME a favor and carrying out my dream and helping spread the music I helped create. Its the least I can do. I want this thing to ride out to the highest point imaginable.
    So alas, this is where we are left. Whimpering, sullen, and pitiful against a wall outside writing this message while my band-mates are preparing to promote a record they believe in. I wish them the best of luck and ask that you all come out and support the new record. There will be LOTS of tour dates country-wide coming about so keep up to date, spread the word, and come to a show and get a CD and a shirt. Tell your friends. Make this the beginning again.
    James
    P.S. It may not be permanent. Thanks GOT for being understanding. I love you guys.”

    07.08.06 SIGN MY BAND
    Takeover Records third Sign My Band contest is already in full effect, but this time around a new twist has been added to the competition: Theres no guarantee one band will be offered a record deal from the label. I want to use the contest more as platform to showcase ten amazing unsigned bands and help jump-start their careers, said Takeover Records owner Ben Harper. I may or may not sign one of them.
    After seeing previous Sign My Band contest finalists picked up by labels like Virgin (The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus), Nitro (Hit The Switch), SideCho (Stars of Track and Field) and Outlook (Daphne Loves Derby), it became apparent that the contest had some clout. Takeover will be recommending all finalists in the contest to other labels were affiliated with, Harper said. Though its uncertain if a record deal will be offered up, one song from each of the ten finalists chosen will be featured on an up-and-coming Takeover Records compilation CD, and the winner of the contest will get to tour the U.S. with bands on the labels roster in 2007.
    Demo submissions for the Sign My Band contest are being accepted all summer at the Takeover Records tent on any stop of the Vans Warped Tour, and the ten finalists will be selected by Takeover staffers. The finalists can expect to be promoted on PureVolume.com and receive prizes from Ambiguous Clothing, The Wedge Studios and Wonka Candy, as well as have one of their songs on the compilation to be released by Takeover. Oh, and a full recommendation by Takeover Records is also part of the deal.

    07.08.06 MUCH THE SAME POSTS NEW SONG!
    Getting ready for the release of their sophomore album, Survive, on August 29th, Much The Same have posted a new song, “Skeletons” on their myspace page for fans to hear.
    “Skeletons is a song about admitting your past mistakes and being able to move on and away from them for the sake of a better future for yourself,” says bandleader Gunner McGrath.
    Alongside their Nitro Records labelmates A Wilhelm Scream, No Trigger and Crime In Stereo, Much The Same are doing everything they can to bring back substance over style to the underground. Produced by Cameron Webb, Survive is a return to the fast melodic punk sound of the 90’s without sounding nostalgic or derivative. Each of the band members shared songwriting responsibility making Survive a reflection of the band as a whole.
    The band’s debut album, Quitters Never Win, was released on A-F records in 2003 and the band has played with the likes of Bad Religion, Rise Against, Thrice, Strike Anywhere, Anti-Flag, and A Wilhelm Scream.

    06.12.06 Lucky Boys Confusion!
    Lucky Boys Confusion get set to release the How To Get Out Alive (EP) June 20tth, 2006 on their own Townstyle Records imprint in conjunction with Reincarnate (Sony/BMG). The EP is the first official release of new music from the band since they released their second major label album Commitment on the now defunct Elektra Records. Commitment featured the hit single Hey Driver which not only garnered national radio play on the modern rock and pop formats, but also was featured in various movies and video games, and had the band performing live on national TVs The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn.

    Despite the demise of Elektra, the Chicago natives continued the DIY ethic of touring for months on end over the last two years, headlining clubs across the U.S. During breaks, Lucky Boys Confusion wrote new songs including The Struggle (Getting Out Alive) and Cigarettes, which will appear on the new EPHow To Get Out Alive.

    Lucky Boys Confusion will celebrate the release of the new EP with a Five Night Stand, small club performance in their hometown of Chicago June 20 – June 24 at the Beat Kitchen. Each night will feature something different musically spanning the bands career. Tickets for these shows are now on sale.

    The band will follow these shows with two acoustic instore performances and signings, one Borders in Champaign IL on Sunday, June 25, and the second at Tower Records in Bloomingdale IL on Tuesday, June 27. Lucky Boys Confusion then hit the road on a nationwide tour supporting Jive recording artists Bowling for Soup June 28th through August 29th.

    Look for Lucky Boys Confusion to headline this fall before heading back into the studio to finish their next full-length album with a release date for Spring 2007.

    Fearless Records has signed veteran rock band A Static Lullaby! The band will be releasing their Fearless Records debut album on September 26, 2006! Listen to the band’s new demos at their Myspace page!

    04.18.06 Stavesacre’s How To Live With A Curse In Stores Tomorrow!!
    Stavesacre’s new album How to Live with a Curse arrives in stores tomorrow, Tuesday, April 18 on Abacus Recordings. Produced by Matt Hyde (No Doubt, Porno for Pyros to Slayer, Fu Manchu, and Hatebreed) How to Live with a Curse is the Huntington Beach, CA band’s fifth (and arguably strongest) album.

    The Orange County Register calls it, ” a decidedly strong return to form for the Surf City outfit…a mix of powerful riff-rock, soaring melodic material and emotive slower tracks…”

    All Ages Zine raves, “Alternative radio; get ready to welcome Stavesacre to your rotations… a nice blend of alternative rock influences that live up to comparisons they have received to Quicksand and Queens of the Stone Age.”

    Production is currently wrapping up with Darren Doane (XDOANEX) on a high definition video for the first single from the album, “Its Beautiful (Once You’re Out Here).”

    Stavesacre will be playing a number of dates around the country and abroad in support of How To Live With A Curse. The band’s CD release party will take place Tuesday night at Chain Reaction in Anaheim, CA.

    Preview tracks at PureVolume and Myspace.

    04.18.06 SIRE RECORDS SIGNS ARMOR FOR SLEEP?
    Albany, NY – April 17, 2006 (Equal Vision) – Four years after joining the Equal Vision Records family in the winter of 2002, Armor For Sleep have signed with Sire Records, an imprint of the Warner Music Group.

    In June of 2003, Equal Vision issued Armor For Sleep’s debut album, Dream To Make Believe, which introduced their music to the world, and built-up the band’s core fan base.

    Dream To Make Believe set the stage for what was to come. After a countless number of tours in support of the album, and two music videos for “Dream To Make Believe” and “My Town,” Armor For Sleep was ready to unleash their new masterpiece. The 11-song What To Do When You Are Dead was released in February of 2005, and the massive buzz that had been surrounding the band began to increase exponentially.

    To date, What To Do When You Are Dead has sold over 160,000 albums, and yielded two music videos for “Car Underwater” and “The Truth About Heaven,” the latter which went on to be featured on MTV’s 10 Spot Drop, and earned the band a spot performing at MTV’s Spring Break 2006. The video also won Fuse TV’s OvenFresh competition by a landslide against major artists Green Day, System of a Down, Spoon, Straylight Run, The Dandy Warhols, and Morningwood.

    Armor For Sleep’s final release with Equal Vision was a 90-minute DVD entitled, “A Comprehensive Guide To Touring,” that came out in November 2005. The DVD documented the band’s growth over the previous year from recording What To Do… to Armor For Sleep’s first headlining tour, and everything in between.

    Look for Armor For Sleep on The Vans Warped Tour all summer long.

    Everyone at Equal Vision Records is proud to have worked with Armor For Sleep for the last four years, and will continue to support them wherever they may go. We guarantee many more great things to come from the four individuals that make up Armor For Sleep. Ben, Anthony, Nash, and PJ will forever be considered part of the Equal Vision family.

    02.21.06 A7X & COHEED?!!
    Burbank CA, February, 2006 Two of rock musics most important bands have elected to hit the road together for a Spring co-headlining jaunt across North America. Warner Bros. Records Avenged Sevenfold and Columbia Records Coheed And Cambria have been praised repeatedly in the music press for their musical innovation, as well as their ability to captivate a live audience. With grand stage productions and lively comparisons to legendary rock acts, both bands combined energy on the same stage is sure to endear them to many new converts, while earning the tour soon-to-be legendary status. Its a huge musical moment for the two most forward thinking bands in rock today.

    When Avenged Sevenfold announced their Cities Of Evil Tour last fall, they embarked on a musical tour-de force that began in October and continues even now, as the band returns to Los Angeles for a giant sold out homecoming show at the Gibson Amphitheatre on Friday, February 17. The album, City Of Evil, for which the tour has supported, is now gold in status, due in no small part to the bands energetic live performance, arena production values, and their ability to convert new fans at every show. The gold triumph is just one of many, as the band continues to redefine the rock genre as of late, storming MTV, radio, the road and the press with reckless abandon. For proof, see the recent Alternative Press cover which sold thru on newsstands everywhere, as well as the upcoming April cover of Revolver magazine, on stands Feb 21. Both outlets delve deep into what makes this band rock harder than any other at the moment. The success of City Of Evil, coupled with the prior release of two critically acclaimed albums, Sounding The Seventh Trumpet, and Waking The Fallen, along with over six years of near constant touring has seen the bands rabid fan base embrace everything Avenged Sevenfold says, does and creates. As its legion of fans grow everyday, those devotees will soon get a closer glimpse of Avenged Sevenfold when they unleash their first DVD later this year, documenting life on the road and at home.

    Coheed is on their own steady rise to stardom. Building a rabid following since 2001s Second Stage Turbine Blade, the band has stacked their loyal admirers, a tower cultivated brick by brick, achieving Gold Status with their sophomore release In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: Three upon a foundation that is awe inspiring. The accompanying DVD Live at the Starland Ballroom has also gone Gold. This tour, in support of their new near-gold album Good Apollo, I’m Burning Star IV, Volume 1: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness”, includes a 14-foot functional guillotine, full stage props and intense projection imagery, borrowing from singer Claudio Sanchez’s 124 page graphic novel that reveals the story behind Good Apollo. Seeing Coheed live is an experience that harks back to 70’s arena rock, but with an energy more aligned with post-punk rock and roll.

    Both bands have extensive touring history between them in the States. Avenged has participated in four Warped Tour treks, while Coheed has been on two. Both artists have several US headlining tours under their belt and this co-headlining effort will surely be the most groundbreaking yet for each artist.A7X / COHEED AND CAMBRIA TOUR DATES:

    02.12.06 WE ARE THE FURY ACCIDENT!
    A letter about the accident from We Are The Fury;
    “Hey everyone. Friday afternoon we were involved in a serious accident while driving through Colorado. We crashed our van around the Vail Passage area of Route 70 near Breckenridge. We were driving through a heavy snowstorm on our way home from Los Angeles when we hit ice and lost control of our vehicle and slammed into the guardrail. Surprisingly, the guardrail held and we didn’t fall down the five hundred foot mountain drop, which is a miracle. As we were sliding toward the edge our trailer jackknifed and snapped off. This prevented the van from flipping and rolling over the side of the mountain, which is a damn good thing because if we had gone over the edge I definitely would not be here describing the accident to you. For the most part, we are all alright aside from being a bit shook up. We all have cuts and bruises from the impact and the air bags, but we feel extremely lucky. However our van was not so lucky. Its looking like the axle snapped on impact, which will most likely leave the van totaled. We are currently looking into rental options to get home and will then be trying to do whatever we can to try and get a new van. If you have some change in your pocket or a dollar laying around here or there and would like to help out please go to our myspace page for more info at http://www.myspace.com/thefury. I want to thank everyone who has expressed their concern!! We are looking forward to getting home, healing up and, pending a resolution to our travel situation, heading back out for the east coast portion of the Head Automatica / Morningwood tour.

Reel Big Fish can now pursue more daring opportunities that didnt fit into the corporate scheme of things and Jive will continue to search for the next big boy-band.

    Never ones to wallow in self-pity (who are we kidding?) the long running ska-punk act is genuinely excited about what the future holds as they are now free to embrace the DIY ethic that has always been a part of Reel Big Fish but was suppressed thanks to major label politics. Over the years the band has picked up a few tricks and enlisted help from various industry notables rather than relying on the standard record label infrastructure.

    “The traditional major label business model is a dinosaur whose feet are already covered in tar,” points out band manager Vince Pileggi. Adding, “We have already been in touch with numerous labels and are actively considering aggressive deals that we hope will be the new industry standard.”

    Reel Big Fish are currently weighing their options as they tour the country with Goldfinger and Zebrahead as part of the Deep Freeze Tour. Later this month they will head overseas for additional concert dates followed by a quick trip to Las Vegas for the International Ska Circus, a 2-day ska music festival similar to the successful Ska Summit back in 2003, and a one-off performance in Dubai before going into the studio to mix a live album which is now expected to be released this summer.

    Fans can expect a major announcement about the band’s summer tour plans shortly.
