Accord­ing to an e-mail sent out to their mail­ing list, “inner­partysys­tem is going on indef­in­ite hiatus”. The tone of the e-mail was quietly optim­istic for a poten­tial future reunion, and there cer­tainly doesn’t seem to be any anim­os­ity between the band mem­bers. Sum 41 have been forced to can­cel more gigs as a res­ult of Deryck […]

Paul Gray, Slipknot’s bassist who died recently, died of an acci­dental morphine over­dose accord­ing to his autopsy report. A large num­ber of artists, led by Korn’s Jonathan Dav­ies, have decided to boy­cott BP products as a res­ult of the oil spill in the Gulf of Mex­ico.

Apo­lo­gies for last week’s lack of news, I was in Hun­gary. Emo’s Annex have banned Fat Mike from the venue after his now infam­ous Cokie the Clown gig as part of SXSW. You can read more about the gig here. Vik­ing Funeral is a new label, star­ted by Fletcher Dragge (Penny­wise) and Ken Seaton of Hardline […]

Stray­light Run have announced that they are now on an “indef­in­ite hiatus”. How­ever, Shaun has quit the band for good. Zoli Teglas (Ignite) is Pennywise’s new vocal­ist. Allegedly, it happened as a res­ult of a mis­di­alled tele­phone num­ber. As part of the Olympic cel­eb­ra­tions in Van­couver, a pro­ject called “Live­City” was con­ceived, to bring live music to […]

This is the second time Love has lost cus­tody of her daugh­ter. AFI, Sick of it all, and The Dear and Depar­ted have announced some UK […]

Alexisonfire — Old Crows, Young Cardinals

As you may recall, I thought that Crisis was a ter­rible album com­pared to Alexisonfire’s pre­vi­ous stuff. Old Crows, Young Car­din­als seems to be a step back in the right dir­ec­tion for the band. Lyr­ic­ally, Alex­is­on­fire have always been a touch on the com­ical side — and this album is no excep­tion. Music­ally, though, Watch […]

Alexisonfire — Crisis

Alexisonfire’s latest offer­ing to the world of hard­core was some­what dis­ap­point­ing com­pared to pre­vi­ous albums. Watch Out! is def­in­itely among the genre lead­ers as an album, but sadly, Crisis falls some­what short of the extremely high stand­ard the band have pre­vi­ously set them­selves. That’s not to say that this album isn’t good – it is. […]
