She Is Loved

Borrowed from AP.net: “Philadelphia’s The Loved Ones have signed with Jade Tree Records. They will be entering the studio soon to record an EP with Brian McTernan for an anticipated early 2005 release.”

Is this the most desperate attempt for publicity ever?

Streetlight Manifesto have released a rather banal statement about their next release. Read it by clicking ‘discuss this item’. We know you’re re-recording ‘Keasby Nights’, just quit with the games. Jeez.

ASL update

Taken from AP.net: “A Static Lullaby are currently in the studio recording their Columbia Records debut with producer Lou Giordano (Taking Back Sunday). Some tentative titles that have been discussed are Godbless You, Marilyn Monrobot, and Stand Up. There is no release date

Rooney – Rooney

I’m not really sure why I’m reviewing this as it’s about as punk rock as an episode of Neighbours – but it has an adorable charm that I can’t help but like. Rather than pay homage to football wonderkid Wayne Rooney, the teenage brothel visitor’s namesake

Bullets and Octane – The Revelry

PT Recs update 2

The Maple State entered the studio yesterday to start recording for their release on Punktastic Recordings. It’s not yet known how many tracks will feature on the CD, or even a name for it, but I believe 5 new songs are to be recorded in this

PT Recs update 1

Echofreddy will now be supporting Sugarcult in Liverpool on Thursday. The band have added a stack of dates in the last 24 hours, click ‘discuss this item’ to see them all.

Planes Mistaken For Stars – Up In Them Guts

I’m sure this review will spark comments from the if-you-don’t-like-this-kind-of-music-why-are-you-reviewing-it brigade, but I guess that’s become all too predictable. ‘Up In Them Guts’ is my first experience of Planes Mistaken For Stars on record, having only heard odd MP3s previously. I did catch them
