  James Franco, Science, Touche Amore/La Dispute split

  It’s funny just how boring the internet becomes when you can’t watch videos/download music/stream anything.  I’m stuck tethering through my cell phone until Friday when Comcast will finally come and plug me into the real deal.  Since I haven’t been able to view all of the above, I’ve been reading a bunch of random articles. + Who [...]

  Dawn by Mount Eerie & other stuff

  + Mount Eerie – Dawn Download: Mount Eerie – Dawn This is one of those albums that I have to be in a particular mood to listen to.  Somber may be the right word.  Not particularly unhappy but just kind of meh.  This is an album that focuses on the overall mood of the record instead of [...]

  8 days left!

  I’m in Oklahoma City right now hanging out at our friend Leon’s apartment who we met earlier at tonight’s show. Aside from a few minor van troubles, tour has been going well.  We only have 8 days left.  It’s weird looking back on some of the earlier shows of tour and realizing that they weren’t [...]

  Tonight we are staying in Altoona, Iowa at the same hotel we stayed in for 4 days while our van was broken down last summer.  It feels odd to be back.  It’s kind of satisfying even though I hated every second of being here last summer. Hopefully tomorrow we have time to go visit the [...]

  + We Were Skeletons At the end of April my band did a weekend tour with a great band from Pennsylvania called We Were Skeletons.  They recently signed to Topshelf Records and will be releasing their new full length very soon.  If you like bands like Kid Crash and Loma Prieta you will probably dig [...]

  Age Sixteen/Wren Lloyd Split

  04.28.10 | Permalink | 1 Comment

  So as most of you probably already know Age Sixteen broke up a few weeks prior to the release of this split.  It’s a shame because their half of this split absolutely kills.  Don’t worry though because 4/5ths of those guys are forming a new band which I’m sure will be just as good as [...]

  short update

  + Hostage Calm It’s refreshing to see a “hardcore” band branch out into territory that is rarely explored in the genre.  Their new song Ballots/Stones, which I wouldn’t classify as hardcore, reminds me of a mixture of the clash, the smiths and wham – mixed with a bit of punk.  Sounds interesting, right?  Check it out HERE.

  Old Pride being released on Vinyl

  I feel like a bit of a douche posting about my own band but I think some of the people who read this blog may be interested in this news.  I’m certainly pumped about it! Topshelf Records (Defeater, My Heart To Joy) – in partnership with Mayfly Records – is excited to announce that Old Pride, [...]
