In addition, Fall Out Boy has released their new online game, Fall Out Boy trail (www.falloutboytrail.com), which fans can play and win tickets to see the band. Another way for fans to get involved with the tour includes the Myspace Karaoke contest (http://ksolo.myspace.com/music/Fall-Out-Boy), where the grand Prize is an all expenses paid trip to see the band on the ‘Believers Never Die Part Deux’ tour.

Sparks The Rescue Signs to Fearless Records!

Sparks The Rescue, a five-piece band from Portland, Maine, joins the Fearless Records team today and anxiously awaits the release of their debut full-length album.

“We’re really excited to be a part of the Fearless family,” says vocalist Alex Roy. “It will be nice to have a West Coast support system. We’ve grown up listening to a lot of the Fearless Records artists and are stoked to have such awesome label mates.”

Sparks The Rescue, whose name is derived from Nicholas Sparks’ novel The Rescue, formed from the merger of three local bands from Portland in 2005. Since forming, the band has played over 200 shows and attracted the attention of WCYY, Maine’s number one alternative rock radio station with their hit track, “Autumn.”

The band is also no stranger to the stage, having performed with great acts that include Hawthorne Heights, Chiodos, Forever The Sickest Kids and All Time Low. The band is eager to perform their new songs for fans nationwide. “We want the fans to relate to the album and feel like they’re a part of everything, because they are,” says bassist Ben Briggs.

Check out the band on their spring tour with Racing Kites, The Dangerous Summer, and This Time Next Year, which kicks off this weekend in Virginia and includes stops at Bamboozle and the PureVolume showcase at SXSW.

Sparks The Rescue is Alex Roy, Patrick O’Connell, Toby McAllister, Ben Briggs, and Nathan Spencer.

The Maine: “Girls Do What They Want” Video Premiere

The Maine premieres their new performance based music video for today on Myspace. The video is a candid look into the band’s daily life, from the van, to the shows, to hanging out with the fans afterwards.

“We wanted to include the fans in this video, because they’re a part of being on the road and they make it all worth it,” says vocalist John O’Callaghan. They can be seen singing along to every song, signing the infamous tour van, and just being a part of everyday life on the road. “It’s surreal to see 1000 people singing along to every word but it’s reassuring to know that all of our hard work is paying off.”

This video is a glimpse into The Maine’s winter tours with many more tours to come. The band has already hit the road in 2009 on a nationwide tour with We The Kings and will be co-headlining this year’s Alternative Press Tour. This tour will make a stop at SXSW where The Maine will be playing the AP Showcase as well as headlining the Warped Tour Latin America Showcase. Throughout the Alternative Press Tour they will also be the featured band with Denny’s All Nighters. They can be seen on the cover of the latest edition of Alternative Press magazine.

To see the video, learn more about the band, and hear songs from their debut album, Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop, please visit: www.myspace.com/themaine

Anarbor Premiere “The Brightest Green” Video Exclusively on Buzznet

Phoenix, AZ pop-rock band Anarbor have released their new video for “The Brightest Green”, exclusively on Buzznet.com. Anarbor’s upcoming seven-track EP, Free Your Mind is set to release tomorrow and is currently available for pre-order.

Check Out The Brightest Green Video
http://anarbor.buzznet.com/user/video/3952751/anarbor-brightest-green/

Free Your Mind extends beyond the cut-and-paste albums being churned out, instead infusing dynamic guitars behind the soul-shaking howls and relatable melodies from frontman Slade Echeverria. Crafted in Los Angeles by producer Mike Green (Paramore, Good Charlotte) over a four-week span in Los Angeles, Free Your Mind’s formation came from a desire to break out from the “fad band” chokehold and delve into what was real.

Anarbor is currently on the 2009 Sub City Take Action Tour, Presented by FYE. The 2009 lineup features headliner Cute Is What We Aim For, along with Breathe Carolina, Meg & Dia, and Every Avenue. The annual nationwide charity tour, now in its eighth year, raises funds and awareness for youth involvement in charitable action.

Ace Enders Announces Spring Tour with All American Rejects!

After warming up for his forthcoming acoustic US tour alongside Craig Owens (Chiodos) and Fred Mascherino (The Color Fred) with a handful of Soundwave Festival dates in Australia, ACE ENDERS gears up for a Spring tour supporting All American Rejects. Following Ace’s solo tour in March, the All American Rejects tour kicks off on April 5th in Albuquerque, NM, and includes a performance at The Bamboozle in East Rutherford, NJ on May 2nd.

Enders hits the road hard over the next few months in support of his new album, When I Hit The Ground, which hits streets on March 17th via Drive-Thru/Vagrant. ALTERNATIVE PRESS magazine boasts “When I Hit The Ground is one of the best glossy hybrids resulting from a clean collision of nu-emo and ‘90’s alternative pop,” and likened the album to Jimmy Eat World’s Chase This Light and Jack’s Mannequinn’s Everything In Transit.

Former frontman of alt-rock innovators The Early November (who have sold over 500,000 albums), Ace Enders “continues to progress” (Alternative Press) with his new project, Ace Enders & A Million Different People. Ace and his Million Different People recently filmed a video for the first single, “The Only Thing I Have (The Sign),” which will be premiering this month.
