Official Press Release:

Cross contra cripple crescent, SC lives demands the present. The boys secede again: throughout, above, and beyond it all. The thunder may be, simply, rock and roll, punk, thrash, drone, distortion. Less a cosmos, more a fist fight, the record battles with sense and judgment, other times without. Anthems with rigidity and a force towards resolution: music to bang your head to. Songs with low end and an encompassing trance: it’s not how you drive, it’s how you arrive. A 5 song EP announcing the present, cross contra cripple crescent!

Legendary hardcore/punk band H2O are heading into the studio to record a cover album featuring some of their favorite songs. The album, appropriately titled Don’t Forget Your Roots, will feature the following bands: The Ramones, Dag Nasty, Madball, Rancid, Circle Jerks, Descendents, Cro-Mags, Bad Brains, The Clash, GovernmentIssue, Verbal Assault, Gorilla Biscuits, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, 7 Seconds, Embrace, Social Distortion, Sick of It All and Warzone. Just to name a few. I’m a huge sucker for cover songs especially when done by a band I enjoy and have a lot of respect for.

Lead singer Toby Morse had this to say: “This album is extremely important to us. These are bands that inspired us to start a band and who have inspired our personal lives. Also with so many young kids getting into hardcore every day, it’s good to always keep exposing them to the ROOTS of this music and getting them into some of the originators of hardcore/punk. We have all gotten to see this bands play live when we were young so covering their songs that made us happy and inspired as kids feels amazing and we feel honored.”

If you aren’t familiar with H2O, click past the break for their videos for What Happened? and Nothing To Lose. And if you are familiar, watch them anyways. Enjoy! READ MORE

A few years ago Josh Scogin used to front a band by the name of Norma Jean, you might be familiar with them. He left that band to start another one called The Chariot, by far one of the most unique and hard working bands out right now. I myself am a huge fan of The Chariot so when I was offered a chance to interview Josh I took the opportunity without hesitation. We talked about upcoming tours, his thoughts on horror movies and something special The Chariot is doing this year that BD got to hear first! Read past the break for my interview with Josh and to find out what the special news is. Enjoy!

Norma Jean have announced a full headlining US tour throughout starting at the end of February and running through March in support of their latest release, ‘Meridional’ (review here). Direct support will come from Of Legends and Impending Doom. Century Media punk/hardcore band Stick To Your Guns will join the tour a week in. Check out the tour dates after the jump.

“We will be playing a lot of songs that we haven’t played in a long time and some that have never been played at all, old and new. It will be one of the most eclectic sets we’ve ever played for sure,” said vocalist Cory Brandan. “I think of any headlining tour we’ve done to this point, this is the show to come to if you are a true Norma Jean fan. Doesn’t matter what record is your favorite, we’ll be playing something from it. We’re very excited and are working really hard to make sure it’s going to be excellent.”

But all that doesn’t matter when compared to this tour poster:

Look at that thing! Let’s run down the list: there’s a T-Rex, an AT-AT, a tank, helicopters, a race car ON FIRE, scores of bombs raining down and, lastly, a city that has just been hit by a nuke. Yup, quite possibly the most epic poster ever. READ MORE

Detroit, Michigan band I See Stars has released a video for ‘The Common Hours’ exclusively on Alternative Press (but of course you can see it below). Now, after watching the video, can my Michigan readers confirm to me that the video was shot in the Crofoot in Pontiac? I’m 99% sure it was shot there. Anyway, this video and track are off the first album, ’3-D’, but the band will be entering the studio this Monday to being their follow-up album, as of yet untitled. The band will be taking a short break from recording to do a tour with We The Kings followed by a Nov. tour with Forever The Sickest Kids and Runner Runner. You can check out the tour dates HERE.

A couple weeks ago I got to interview Japanese post-hardcore band Envy. Words can’t describe how humbling the experience was but it was definitely a special moment for me. Envy for me has been a very influential band for me and for many bands they would have to have to agree as well. This marked Envy’s third time coming to the U.S. in twenty years in support of their new album “Recitation”, and with the opening bands on this tour it should definitely be their most memorable. In my interview I found out Envy doesn’t do interviews often which made the experience even more humbling.

I know that I have said this before, but Top Cow Comics “PILOT SEASON” series has been one of the most entertaining and original series in comics, bringing us such titles as “MURDERER” and “DEMONIC”. The idea of running an entire series of original one shots and then allowing the readers to vote and choose 1 of those titles to move on as a monthly mini-series was one of the most innovative ideas I’ve heard in awhile, and this week Top Cow, Kirkman (“MARVEL ZOMBIES”, “WALKING DEAD”), and Silvestri (“UNCANNY X-MEN”, “WITCHBLADE”, “THE DARKNESS”) have announced the next title in the series, “HARDCORE”. Read on for the skinny.

BD will be updating on the shows once more tour info is announced, read on for the shows scheduled so far. READ MORE

Born from the New York Hardcore scene in the early 80′s, AGNOSTIC FRONT is still going strong and just announced a new batch of US tour dates. They’ll be hitting the road with DEATH BY STEREO this January, confirmed dates are…

Jan. 15 – San Francisco, CA – Thee Parkside
Jan. 17 – San Jose, CA – Voodoo Lounge
Jan. 19 – Las Vegas, NV – Cheyenne Saloon
Jan. 21 – Albuquerque, NM – Launchpad
Jan. 22 – Dallas, TX – Trees

Jan. 26 – San Antonio, TX – The Rock Bottom
Jan. 27 – El Paso, TX – Take 2
Jan. 29 – San Diego, CA – Brick By Brick
Jan. 30 – Santa Ana, CA – Galaxy Concert Theatre

Blabbermouth reports “AGNOSTIC FRONT has changed the face of music throughout its 25 year long career. The two records that started it all, “United Blood” and “Victim in Pain”, are legendary New York hardcore releases and some of the most sought-after pieces of vinyl for record collectors. Finally, these two releases are coming back to life via Bridge Nine Records.

On November 17, 2009, Bridge Nine will release a CD version with both albums combined, and additionally will re-release “United Blood” on 7″ and “Victim in Pain” on 12″ LP. “Victim In Pain” has been given extra special treatment, with a gatefold LP cover, complete with a dirty gold metallic ink and embossed logo and title. The gatefold opens up to the original handwritten layout of the first pressing, and the original cover — which was subsequently censored — is printed full size on the front and back of the dust sleeve. “United Blood” has a similar metallic ink and embossed logo front cover, and also has the original cover design printed in black and white on the enclosed dust jacket. Gold vinyl is the limited color, and comes first-come-first-served with each package deal. Packages include a 12″x18″ poster and a limited edition “Victim In Pain” t-shirt. Both are also available to the first few people who elect to grab the “all three” or “all six” vinyl package deals. Orders will ship prior to street date. Want it on CD? Get the 21-track disc featuring both recordings.” READ MORE
