This week in review: August 23rd – 29th
Brand New's "Daisy"... do you have it yet?
Trying to start something a little more… standard for this blog. Some news gossip, some leak watches, some studio updates… we’ll see. Anyway… some stuff that is indienews-worthy:
-Brand New’s newest album Daisy has been reported to have leaked three weeks prior to it’s actual release. On a side note, the once-popular forum Brand New UK, http://forum.brandnewuk.co.uk/, has just sent out a mass email to it’s 500 members asking to come back to the “newly designed forum” as well as informing that Daisy has actually leaked… whether or not it’s over on that forum is hard to say. But it has leaked.
-AFI released a track listing of their upcoming album Crash Love a few weeks ago, and now including an extra six songs on a bonus disc that they announced this week. They are on tour in the US starting October 2nd.
"Sainthood" album art... ooo Sara with makeup...
-Tegan and Sara released their track listing for their upcoming album Sainthood as well as album art. Emy Storey isn’t doing the album art from what it seems… To add some more flavor to Tegan and Sara updates, they are playing two shows in LA and NYC on Oct. 25th and 30th, respectively. Hopefully SF is in the mix for that too so I can see them play their new songs…
NFG's recent set list... 25 songs...
-New Found Glory has been bringing back some of the ISHC into their Europe shows as of late. This is in addition to their 20+ song set lists. The Euro HC kids are creaming themselves for this.
-Fun Fun Fun Fest, in Austin, TX from Nov. 7 – 8, is in it’s 4th year of “festing” and their line up would please all HC and indie kids alike, with headliners like Gorilla Biscuits, Ratatat, Danzig, Pharcyde, and Jesus Lizard, the FFFF could possibly trump the monster that is Bamboozle if this thing gets any bigger.
-My favorite band, The Get Up Kids, released a trailer of their upcoming re-release of Something to Write Home About as well as their STWHA DVD. Ryan Pope has a rocking quote about STWHA in this trailer…
-Fenix Tx reunited and is slotted for an album soon.
-DJ AM died. RIP.
’til next Sunday. Part of this post is tagged for relay.
