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.

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.”

Sub City Records is the charity component of Southern California independent label Hopeless Records. All Sub City projects benefit various charitable organizations that are working to make the world a better place to live. With 35 releases as well as tours and other projects since 1999, Sub City Records and their artists have raised over $800,000 for charity and will pass the 1 million dollar donation mark this year.

The brand Take Action! was formed by Hopeless & Sub City Records to take the charitable mission to the road through touring and outreach with the goal of creating a better world, one voice and one action at a time. By working with various non-profit organizations, Take Action strives to educate people about the positive difference that can be made by each of us in our community through activism and charitable work.

The benefiting charity for both the compilation CD and the Take Action! Tour is the Youth American Hotline, 1-877-YOUTHLINE (968-8454), a peer-to-peer counseling center that helps young adults in crisis and educates them on mental health issues. Founded by the Kristin Brooks Hope Center (KBHC), teens and young people who are looking for peer support dial 1-877-YOUTHLINE and are seamlessly connected to an available counselor. The network ensures that the people who need help will never get a busy signal and there will always be someone there waiting to talk to them. Reese Butler founded KBHC in 1998 after his wife Kristins suicide, using her life insurance to found an organization that presents the option to live for those in emotional pain. Since then, the KBHC has received a federal grant to expand the network and to date has answered over two million calls.

    01.11.07 ANBERLIN TO RELEASE THIRD ALBUM ‘CITIES’ – FEBRUARY 20!
    Due out February 20 on Tooth and Nail, CITIES –the new album by ANBERLIN–marks the groups third offering and follow-up to their breakthrough album Never Take Friendship Personal (2005), which went on to sell over 140,000 copies. As a preview to the album release, the new song Godspeed as well as the B-side Haunting are now available on Itunes as exclusive tracks.

    ANBERLIN will kick off a headlining U.S. tour February 21 in Charlotte, NC. The coast-to-coast trek will hit New Yorks Bowery Ballroom February 27 and the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles March 13 (see itinerary below with more dates to be announced soon). Bayside, Meg & Dia and Jonezetta will provide support for the winter trek.

    Having watched their career rise while touring with everyone from Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance to Yellowcard and Hawthorne Heights, the Winter Haven, Florida-reared quintet doesnt just build on the energy and determination of recent singles like Paperthin Hymn, Feelgood Drag, and A Day Late. Instead, ANBERLIN expands its grasp of what a rock record can be with CITIES. With the sprawling, epic Fin and the gorgeous, lighter-ready The Unwinding Cable Car, the group vastly widens its musical boundaries.

    For CITIES, ANBERLIN–STEPHEN CHRISTIAN (vocals), JOSEPH MILLIGAN (guitars), DEON REXROAT (bass), NATHAN STRAYER (guitar) and NATHAN YOUNG (drums)–reunited with producer Aaron Sprinkle (Eisley, MxPx, Pedro The Lion) and recorded the album at Sprinkles Seattle-based Compound facility, with drums captured at the infamous London Bridge studio (where classic albums by Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, Temple of The Dog and Blind Melon were realized).

    Whether its the huge-sounding, memorable roar of Reclusion or the bright, infectious Adelaide, the writing team of frontman STEPHEN CHRISTIAN and guitarist JOSEPH MILLIGAN drives ANBERLIN. Anberlin has always had really good songs, says STEPHEN of the groups past output. Still, I think this is the first time weve got a really great album. MILLIGAN adds, Id like to think we have more in us and even broader spaces to cover in the future, but this is our proudest moment. Id just like it to have it find its way into the hands of as many people as possible. Not for glory, but because were so proud of it.

    The full track listing for CITIES is as follows:
    Intro
    Godspeed
    Adelaide
    A Whisper and a Clamor
    The Unwinding Cable Car
    There is No Mathematics to Love and Loss
    Hello Alone
    Reclusion
    Alexithymia
    Inevitable
    Dismantle Repair
    Fin

    01.09.07 AIDEN – CHAOS & CONVINCTION!
    After a hectic year which saw the band crisscrossing the globe, performing to sold-out crowds and grabbing several awards, Seattle horror-punksters, Aiden are set to accomplish even more in 2007with Conviction, which will be the title of their upcoming full-length effort on Victory Records.

    The band begins pre-production on their eagerly anticipated release January 15, according to leading WiL Francis, 14 songs have already been written. I’ve never been more excited about new songs, he declares. I’ve never written songs like this, mainly because I was scared that it wasn’t “punk” enough. But I woke up one day and asked myself what is punk? And the answer I came up with was that punk rock is a state of mind, not a sound on a record. Punk is about being true to yourself and doing what you love and saying f-you to anyone who tries to bring you down.

    So this record has some things on it that are a lot different than what I’m used to. I’m no longer scared what people will think of me or what they might say. A good tune is a good tune, and that this is going to be our biggest and most ambitious record to date.

    Aiden will remain ambitious out of the studio as well. As soon as they finish recording, they head out on the Taste of Chaos North American tour for 31 dates, when fly back out to England for a quick British jaunt with Lostprophets. But thats almost taking it easy compared to their itinerary in 2006:

    It started with the Kerrang 25 Year Anniversary Tour in England with Bullet For My Valentine; they then did their first tour of Germany, before returning home to the States to play on 30 Seconds to Mars national tour. Then back to the Europe for a bevy of summer festivals. Back again to the States for a tour with H.I.M. The group returned to Europe for another festival and to pick up a Best Newcomer award from Metal Hammer.

    By this time it was summer, and Aiden returned to Americas to perform on every date on the Warped tour. Back yet again to England for more huge music festivals and to win Best International Newcomer at the Kerrang! Awards. They even stuck around to headline their own UK and Europe tour, selling out everywhere months in advance. They flew back to the States for still another national tour, this time with Silverstein. After that, they finished off the year playing five shows in four days in Australia.

    Of course, Aiden will return to the major summer tour circuit this summer, and you can expect them to perform their new music with total and utter conviction. When people ask me what Conviction means and is all about, I’m going to say its about believing in yourself and the people around you, Francis states. Its about living your life as you want it to be livedthats Conviction!

    “If you have not heard by now, we are sorry to say that Mat Bruso will no longer be singing for Bury Your Dead. He has decided that he has come to a point in his life where he must focus on more important things like going back to school to become a teacher and his upcoming marriage. The four remaining members will be pushing on with the band and will be looking for a new singer over the next few months. We have never had this much time off so we are just trying to find something to do with ourselves while we are home. We are bummed and apologize for having to cancel our European run with Killswitch Engage and The Haunted. We hope you all understand.

    If you are about serious rock shows , tomfoolery and amps that go to 11 , keep your eyes and ears open for your opportunity to try out within the next few weeks , we will be posting how to do that on our websites ASAP.

    Thanks, Slim”

    10.20.06 Soldiers Signs to Eulogy Recordings!
    SOLDIERS is not only a product of its five members, but the Long Island Hardcore scene as a whole. Forged from the desire to express opinions and thoughts in a non-traditional way, SOLDIERS is a band made up of experienced, hard-working kids who have toiled on the road away from their island home for many years. SOLDIERS represents a new Long Island sound; a reaction to all that has come before and the need to face new challenges.
    In April of 2006, THIS IS HELL bandmates Rick Jimenez and Dan Bourke, eager to start a new project, just needed to recruit the right members to complete the SOLDIERS regiment. Rick and guitarist Chris Mazella were both members of SUBTERFUGE from 1996-2003; during those years Chris was the frontman and Rick held down duties on the drums. Playing in that band helped shape both a social and musical consciousness for both Long Island natives, but the confines of the drum kit would not allow Rick to express himself fully. After enlisting current LAST CONVICTION guitar-player Brian Audley, bassist Andrew Jones of the now-defunct Long Island workhorse THE BACKUP PLAN joined the camp. SOLDIERS was now ready to take action.
    The new Long Island unit got right down to business after forming in April 2006, recording and self-releasing their debut The Tombstone EP in May. After playing a handful of shows, SOLDIERS attracted Five Point Records with their brutal and honest brand of hardcore. Five Point re-released The Tombstone EP in August, and the band hit the road for a Northeastern tour shortly afterward.
    The members that comprise SOLDIERS have been on the front lines for years, and now working together they are poised and ready to fight for what they believe in; the music, their scene, and themselvesprepare for war!

    10.11.06 Equal Vision to release Coheed and Cambria side project The Prize Fighter Inferno!
    Claudio Sanchez, front man and visionary of prog rockers Coheed and Cambria, has completed his first solo album under the name The Prize Fighter Inferno.
    The 12-song album, entitled “My Brother’s Blood Machine,” will be released this Halloween (Tuesday, October 31st) on upstate New York indie label Equal Vision Records. Original home to Coheed and Cambria albums “The Second Stage Turbine Blade” (2002), and “In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3” (2003), Equal Vision entered into a partnership with major label Columbia Records to release Coheed and Cambria’s epic third full-length album, “Good Apollo, I’m Burning Star IV: Volume I: From Fear Through The Eyes of Madness” in the fall of 2005. In total, Coheed and Cambria have sold well over 1 million albums in their five year career.
    “My Brother’s Blood Machine” further develops and expands the concepts established in the Coheed and Cambria albums with such recurring themes as the McCloud Family and references to its missing children. The primary difference is that this album is being told from the point of view of a character known as “The Prize Fighter Inferno” a.k.a. Jesse from the story of Coheed and Cambria.
    The Prize Fighter Inferno – “My Brother’s Blood Machine” Track List:
    1 – The Going Price for Home
    2 – The Fight of Moses Early & Sir Arthur McCloud
    3 – Our Darling Daughter You Are, Little Cecilia Marie
