The Story So Far Announce Second Album
It’s been a long, long time since there’s been this much excitement about an album before its release. The last album that had this kind of build up from a band not blink-sized may have been The Wonder Years’ Suburbia. If this record is anywhere near as good as their debut, the band will be skyrocketing to levels our scene hasn’t seen in years for a pop-punk band.
blink-182 Start Viking Wizard Eyes Label?
If you peruse blink-182’s Rdio page, you’ll notice that the label listed for the release of dogs eating dogs is Viking Wizard Eyes. Ever heard of that label before? No, of course not. But it does happen to be a reference that diehard blink fans will find humor in from the Enema Of The State days. Do you think the name is just a place holder they told digital services to use, or do you think all of the band’s future releases will be coming out under Viking Wizard eyes as well?
Streetlight Manifesto LP Has No Release Date; Will Be Released Via Victory
Fans seem to be quite confused about the inner-workings of Streetlight Manifesto. Pushing an album back a few months didn’t turn out to be a huge ordeal after a very successful fall tour, but the band’s update doesn’t quite reassure fans at all. It’s mastered? Great. Has Victory Records given it a release date? No. Wait, Victory Records is still involved? Streetlight will most likely not be releasing an album until March or April at this point.
Mars Hill Music Partners With Tooth & Nail Records
Mars Hill is the church that Dustin Kensrue of Thrice calls home. When you step back to look at this announcement it’s a little less surprising, but Thrice fans seem to becoming more and more turned off by the beliefs of the church Kensrue is involved with.
Jona Weinhofen Comments On Bring Me The Horizon Departure
This comes following yesterday’s quiet lineup change announcement. Jona’s tweets are just as mysterious as the band’s, but it looks like there’s more to the story that BMTH is trying to keep under covers.
Run For Cover Records Sign Cloakroom; Stream New Song
An interesting signing for Run For Cover. Cloakroom’s first song sounds good, but it may be a record that needs to be listened to in full to get a better sense of appreciation rather than just listening to single streams.
This Century Announce Worldwide Web Tour
This Century are still slowly growing after sporadic tours and releases, and they’re trying something a little different with a StageIt Tour to match timezones for fans in several different countries.
Cartel’s New Album Is Complete
The last EP was a good one. Lets hope the next Cartel release is even better.

In this week’s feature, Nate Harold of the band dives into one of his favorite bands, Bad Religion. Nate discusses his musical upbringing and how his life slowly, yet quickly, began to shift as he discovered bands like Bad Religion, among many other things. Listen to songs by Bad Religion here and check out what Nate had to say about one of his biggest influences below!
From Nate Harold of Lasorda:
I grew up on an operating cattle ranch/farm in the barren tundra of Western Kansas. My parents were and are still progressive for where they live and when I was young they took the splurge into the then wild and untamed world of satellite television. We could pick up live feeds of CBS Evening News and the like and also a litany of Canadian broadcasting which led to 2 very important discoveries for my young, moldable brain: Kids In The Hall and Much Music. While everyone in my school (all 100 other kids, K-12) were blasting Garth Brooks and George Strait tapes after football practice, I saw the first video that really affected me. Pearl Jam’s Alive was the craziest most interesting thing I had ever heard and I can remember the pre-dawn morning when I first saw it, sitting in the living room while my dad made breakfast.
This was a vital discovery not just necessarily for the music of that band but the gateway it shortly opened. I soon began subscribing to Rolling Stone and Spin and became obsessed with what was, to me, an insanely underground music scene, since I was the only person I knew (besides my parents) that listened to rock and roll. Not long after I somehow got tickets to the Vitalogy tour AKA the non-Ticketmaster debacle of 1994. Given my obsession with Eddie Vedder and the band, I immediately looked up the opening band, someone called Bad Religion. I learned everything I could about them on the infant dialup internet and discovered one of their members had played in a band called Minor Threat which coincided with Vedders t-shirt on one of my many posters.
