look guys, here's an idea... you lot are posting SO MUCH it's difficult to read the new news.

it's not a competition, how about you only post really important things??

or give the band name, and a link to the page you can find news.

just an idea. this news page is a bloody shambles.

head up, cunts

this from the Sugarcult newsletter, which was full of un-interesting blah apart from the tasty chunk here:

[QUOTE=blah newsletter]Sugarcult is back on tour in the U.S. Visit the Tour Dates page for lots of info. The band head to Japan in May and look to tour Europe in June.[/QUOTE]

El Hefe puts links to the single posts on the main page. Subsribe the the thread and open the thread so it shows the first post, then there is like a contents page

And I do try to post only important stuff. I'm not really sure what bands everyone else likes so I just kind of go with things that interest/pertain to me. And a little extra stuff here and there just because I feel like posting it.

The new [url=http://www.111records.com/rory.html]Rory[/url] EP, Always Right As In We Are, should be out late May to early June, and the tracklisting is below. How good is the EP? Well, basically it's going to take alot for me to find a more promising debut EP. 111 Records will never cease to amaze me. Think Northstar, a tinge of dark-pop, add what Chris Fudurich is famous for doing, and remove what I am known for liking. This EP will make waves, mark my words.

1) Deja Vroom
2) This Could Have Been a Dance Dance Revolution, But Now It's Just a Dance
3) Conversations With Strangers
4) Packed More Trunks Than The New Jersey Mob
5) The Sick 600

Heh, I like the song titles...

Wow, I can't wait until that comes out.

The username is kif and the password is mx but be warned; it won't work if I am not online. Don't worry though, I have broadband and it starts up with Windows so if I am not online on MX try it anyway. If not, don't be too bummed out about it.

[u]Folders up so far:[/u]
Bad Religion - The Empire Strikes First (3 Demos)

[b]Milo Goes Into Politics[/b]
As I was searching around the Internet, I cam across the lyrics for the new Descendents song featured on the Rock Against Bush compilation being released later this month. Here are the lyrics:

[i][u]Sad State of Affairs[/u][/i]

It’s such a sad state of affairs, and I don’t care
A sad state of affairs
It’s such a sad state of affairs – I don’t care

Look at things long enough until they go away
But they’re still there, aren’t they?
And each little insect doesn’t make me angry
And the dirt in the sink gets washed down the drain

It’s such a sad state of affairs, and I don’t care
A sad state of affairs
This place could use a little repair – I don’t care

The TV on the table says listen to me hum
I sit on the sofa with my mind all numb
And each little murderer doesn’t make me angry
And the dirt in the sink gets washed down the drain

Follow the flow, wherever it goes
Down the drain, and everything’s clean
Follow the blood, where is the blood?
Washed away, away from the scene

Use your time and memorize the lullaby of the day
Process the data and throw it away
And each little question doesn’t get me thinking
And the lies of my life still buzz around my brain

If anyone can find lyrics to the other songs featured on the compilation, send them in. Full track list is on [url=http://www.fatwreck.com]Fat Wreck[/url].

[b]Sum new songs[/b]
According to Deryck Whibley, his band's next album is greater than the sum of its parts.

"It's our most everything record," the Sum 41 singer said. "It's the heaviest we've ever done, but at the same time it's the lightest record we've ever done. It's the perfect mix of our last two records: It's really aggressive, like the last record, but I don't think we sacrificed any melody or anything catchy from the first record."

Whibley, guitarist Dave Baksh, bassist Cone McCaslin and drummer Steve Jocz have written several songs — "Welcome to Hell," "Open Your Eyes," "88" and "Some Say," among them — and are recording in a Toronto studio with producer Greig Nori.

Yeah I can never get it to work either.

[QUOTE=-El Hefe-]Yeah I can never get it to work either.[/QUOTE]
I don't leave it on all the time. Mainly because it slows my computer. People on MX know about it, and somehow people on Absolutepunk.net know about it too. Plus some people on MSN know about it too, and people are allowed 5 downloads per IP. I might change it so only 1 or 2 downloads are available per IP at a time, or I might just change the user name.

As for now, I have a few Hellogoodbye demos up, and I'm looking for My Chemical Romance's new album.

Okay I understand. Could you let me(us) know when it is up by posting so in the Discussion thread or something?

[QUOTE=-El Hefe-]Okay I understand. Could you let me(us) know when it is up by posting so in the Discussion thread or something?[/QUOTE]

I'll try and make a little timetable to say what time I generally get online. I have Broadband so the second I turn it on I'm online. Also, I'll try to log onto AIM/MSN when I get online too so you know straight away, but I have a sort of not-so-legal copy of Trillian Pro, and it doesn't work when you change it to "Start with Windows". I'll do my best anyway

Okay thanks. I've been meaning to get the rest of that Emo is Good/Emo Is Evil Compilation. :thumb:

I am generally on:

[b]Joel: Me and Benji are never satisfied with our songs[/b]
Good Charlotte's Madden brothers are hard to please. Even though hits like "Lifestyles Of The Rich And Famous" and "Girls And Boys" helped their last album, The Young And The Hopeless, sell more than 2.8 million copies, the Madden brothers say the tunes just weren't good enough for them.

"Me and Benji are never satisfied with the songs we write," Joel admitted. "Truthfully, we've never loved anything we've written so far. We're always chasing the song that one day we'll really love."

The Maddens and their bandmates are currently pursuing pop-punk's perfect wave in a Los Angeles studio, where they're recording their third album with producer Eric Valentine, who also helmed The Young And The Hopeless. "We've written a few songs so far that I really like," he said, citing new tunes called "Falling Away" and "We Believe" as examples, "but so far nothing I really love."

Although it's still early in the process, Joel is keeping details about the songs close to his chest.

"A lot of these songs are really personal and about what's been happening in my life," he said. "And I'm kind of going to let it be a secret until the record comes out. Kids are going to be able to see what's going on in all of our lives, and how being on the road for 20 straight months affected us.

"Everything that's happened to us in the last two years went into these songs," he continued. "It'll be easy to tell what each song is about. It won't be tricky."

While he's cagey when it comes to the new album's lyrics and themes, the Good Charlotte singer promises musical growth.

"Musically, our abilities are a lot more than what they were on The Young And The Hopeless because we've been on the road for two years. So the music has a little more depth, and it also goes in some different directions. Some of our fans might be a little thrown off at first, but when it comes down to lyrics and melodies, I don't think they'll be disappointed."

Good Charlotte hit the studio armed with 16 to 18 songs, and they plan to keep writing and recording until they play the first five dates of the Vans Warped Tour, which begins June 25 in Houston (see "New Found Glory, Bad Religion Get Warped; Itinerary Set"). The still-untitled album is expected to drop in September.

[b]Steel Train can't decide[/b]

Last night at the Steel Train show, I(not me, the guy from AP) talked with Jack and Evan and they said that the new album should be coming out in July. The reason for the delay is because they're disputing weither to release it on Drive-Thru or Geffen.

[b]The Lights Aren't Alright[/b]
Last night was memorable at The Offspring show. After the fourth song, all of the lights and sound went out, and people started to leave in anger. With only security and emergency power to light, they rocked out the rest of their set. Props to the band for making the best of a bad situation.

[b]You Americans are so lucky![/b]

D12 will reportedly be headlining the second stage of the tour, while Downset. and another as yet to be confirmed act are also expected to appear on the aforementioned stage

[b]Good riddance Good Riddance![/b]
Luke Pabich of Good Riddance wrote an entire full-length album, and then started to look for some extra musicians to form the new band Outlie where apart from playing the guitar he'll be doing the vocals as well. First to be recruited was bassist Jesse Darling, formerly of the Lonely Kings. After a year of collaboration, Luke and Jesse enlisted the drumming talent of Sean Sellers (Kidney Thieves, ex-Downset and Luke's former band-mate in Good Riddance).

With "Companions to Devils and Saints" in the can, the band went to their friend, A-list producer and mixer Ryan Greene and asked him to "sprinkle a little fairy dust on the bastard". The result can be witnessed when the album hits stores through Porterhouse Records on May 4th.

The band's website is still in the works, but you can gather some more info and listen to an mp3 through Porterhouse's page for the band [url=http://porterhouserecords.com/html/outlie.shtml]HERE[/url].

[b]What It Is To Bootleg[/b]
You can hear some new Finch songs from the live bootleg of their recent show at The Glasshouse, Pomona CA at Sharpening Beneath, but for your pleasure I've put the link [URL=http://www.sharpeningbeneath.com/b_pamona.php]here[/URL]. No doubt the bootleg will go soon so I'm downloading it and putting it on the Downloads page.

[b]MattSharpIsStillCool[/b]
Matt Sharp, former Weezer bassist and Rentals frontman, is about to release a new solo album that should surprise fans of his previous bands.

Sharp told Billboard.com that while he was touring for the 1999 Rentals album Seven More Minutes, "...there was a point where I looked into my CD collection and realized that most of the music that I was listening to wasn't the same kind of music that I was writing and performing." This turned out to be darker country music such as Willie Nelson and not the new wave sounds of The Rentals.

Sharp ended up renting a house in a small town in Tennessee, along with former Cake guitarist Greg Brown and producer Josh Hager to record the stark new album. Sharp's upcoming album will be sold online as of April 15 and in stores on May 4. You can hear the song "Just Like Movie Stars" on his official website, [url]www.mattsharp.net[/url].

[b]Make A Move?[/b]
Could [url=http://img12.photobucket.com/albums/v31/sparklar/B0001ZXP3S.jpg]THIS[/url] be the cover of the new Lostprophets single Wake Up (Make A Move)? Still no words on B-sides, I am expecting maybe the acoustic tracks they did for the radio stations they played.
