BAYSIDE announce fall headline tour and new album

Long Island’s BAYSIDE return this fall with the Involuntary Movement Tour, supporting the release of upcoming album Shudder. Support comes from The Matches, Valencia and The Status, and tickets go on sale on this Friday, July 18th at bayside.ducatking.com. For full dates, please refer to www.myspace.com/bayside.

The band are currently in the studio in Los Angeles recording new album Shudder, set for release on September 30, 2008. Produced by David Schiffman (Weezer, Jimmy Eat World, Johnny Cash), Shudder is the follow-up to 2007’s critically-acclaimed release The Walking Wounded, which has just been re-released as a Gold Edition, including a DVD with behind-the-scenes documentary, live show and music videos.

“I honestly feel that this is the best Bayside album that we have ever made,” explains vocalist/guitarist Anthony Raneri. “It’s probably the most youthful and energetic of all of our records and we can’t wait to bring that electricity to the stage on the Involuntary Movement Tour this Fall. The Matches, Valencia and the Status are all bands that we hold close to our hearts and when we’re enjoying ourselves on a tour, that excitement comes out on stage. I can’t explain how ready we are to get this album out and start this tour.”

UNDEROATH to release ‘Lost In The Sound of Separation’ on September 2

As the final notes ring out on LOST IN THE SOUND OF SEPARATION, it’s clear that UNDEROATH–who’ve built their career on being both heavy and experimental–have delivered their most accomplished album to date. Succinct and resolute, there’s no denying the power of LOST IN THE SOUND OF SEPARATION, due out September 2 on Tooth & Nail/Solid State as the follow-up to 2006’s rapturously received and gold-certified Define The Great Line.

Now headlining the Hot Topic stage of the Mayhem Tour, UNDEROATH perform daily from 6:25-7:00pm at the festival, joining hard music heavyweights Slipknot, Disturbed, Mastodon and Dragonforce, among others. During days off from the Mayhem tour, UNDEROATH will play a series of headlining dates with The Red Chord supporting. Next, in early September, UNDEROATH will headline an eight-city U.K. trek, to be followed by dates in Germany, Italy, South Africa and Australia. In October and November, look for UNDEROATH to return to the U.S. for a major headlining run–kicking off at Honolulu’s Pipeline Café (3,000 cap) on October 4–before touring Central and South America.

THE GAY BLADES Set to Release Debut Album – Ghosts – Due Out Fall 2008

This fall, The Gay Blades will release their debut full-length album, Ghosts, on their imprint, 4Never Records, via Triple Crown Records. They will precede their full-length with a digital 7” release through RCRD LBL (Cold War Kids, Tokyo Police Club, Santogold) this summer. Catch them soon as they take their T Rex/Bill Murray inspired live show on the road as part of their “Touring the Dustbowl and Back” tour with dates into August.

“If Freddie Mercury sang for Death From Above 1979, these guys would open the show.” – CMJ

The Gay Blades are a two piece from New York City and play an acerbic brand of Trash Pop. What is Trash Pop, you ask? Trash pop is what happens when two keenly observant wannabe hipsters write and record songs the same pair couldn’t possibly pull off live, and make up for their missing bass player with consistent TNT like performances and a heaping spoonful of swagger. Clark Westfield plays the guitar and Puppy Mills plays the drums. They met when volunteering in a traveling sideshow while still in college, Clark juggling and Puppy taking tickets. Afterwards, back in NYC, they formed The Gay Blades.

They have been called “retro-trangressors” by the Village Voice and after first listen to Ghosts, with its twelve eccentric and trashy pop songs, including two “en-dance-d” bonus remixes, you’ll see why. From the stand out track and first single, “O Shot” (showcasing drummer Puppy Mills’ glamorous and propulsive drums) to “Why Can’t I Grow A Beard?“ (where Clark Westfield takes cues from his idol, Brian Wilson, becoming the recluse he knows he never could be), The Gay Blades grab your attention and keep it.

The band was featured in Alternative Press’ Unsigned Bands to Watch column earlier this year, as well as NYC Tastemaker ‘zine and blog, The Deli, as January 2008’s Artist of the Month and hailing the duo as one of the Top Bands in NYC.

Check out www.thegayblades.com or www.myspace.com/gayblades for further info and to see why The Gay Blades wished The Eagles of Death Metal would just lift the restraining order already…

The Gay Blades Tour Dates:

July 11^th Conservatory Oklahoma City, OK

12^th The Door Fort Worth, TX

13^th White Rabbit (Back Stage) San Antonio, TX

14^th House of Rock Corpus Christi, TX

16^th Sluggo’s Pensacola, FL

17^th Thirsty Hippo Hattiesburg, MS

19^th The Nick Birmingham, AL

21^st The Social Orlando, FL

25^th Danbury CityCenter Green Danbury, CT

26^th Masquerade at Crocodile Rock Allentown, PA

Aug. 11^th Mercury Lounge New York, NY
