Big Death for Life show going on near Harrisburg, PA. Aletheian is playing, and a ton of other bands. Check out the show page for details.
If you like numbers, try this one: 1576. That, I guess, is how many copies of, The Whores Trophy by Symphony In Peril were sold in its first week.
Wondering what ever happened to the new Coldplay album? I had seen signs in Hastings advertising a February 2005 release date, but apparently, it’s been postponed until June.
Brandon over at Indievision interviews someone from The Showdown. Did you know that the Asterik Studio guys did their artwork? I didn’t even notice! Sorry Asterik guys (they read this site).
Did you know that Norma Jean has a new video posted online? Now you do.
Some discussion on Fall of Troy signing to Equal Vision.
Hey bands, labels, zines - pay attention. Sell your stuff on Amazon, fo real. Yea, yea - Amazon takes a big cut, but the chance of someone stumbling upon your album is far greater than if you just have some “store” on your website with a PayPal button.
Remember The Fall of Troy (The band, not that awful movie)? Anyways, they’ve left Lujo Records and just signed to Equal Vision Records. According to Punknews, “The band will hit the studio soon with producer Barrett Jones (Foo Fighters, Nirvana, The Melvins) to record.”
How long till we start seeing label and band branded vinyl art for iPod Shuffles?
Bands doing studio journals is a good thing. Give your fans something to read when you’re not playing in front of 50 kids a night, right? Upload some photos, some quirky writing, and it’s almost like you have a blog. What a novel concept.
The Evan Anthem Studio Journal. Lots of updates, revealing photos, and more than just three word blurbs.
To compare, the Norma Jean Studio Journal, where Scottie drops, “Dave (ex Botch- ex best band ever in other words).” Hmmm… I think we’re onto something here!
Thrice has a studio journal. Eddie is listening to Curl Up And Die! How exciting!
