Well, this is a bummer for Black Sabbath fans. After the excitement of the Black Sabbath reunion announcement, Bill Ward balked in hopes of getting what he called "a fair deal." Sabbath weren't budging and said they were moving on without him. There were talks between both parties, and it seems those talks are officially ...

When Thrice announced their hiatus last year, post-hardcore lost one of its most genuine and earnest bands. But Thrice weren't about to say goodbye without doing things right, and hit the road for a farewell tour. Ruth Booth dodged a sea of touts in Kentish Town and got ready to blub her eyes out. Six things we learned at the Thrice Farewell show in London: 1) Amidst [...]

Killswitch Engage are riding a high right now. They just performed their first show back with Jesse Leach, and have announced some killer summer touring plans. It must be a relief for the band now that things are finally progressing, after having to deal with vocalist Howard Jones deciding to leave the band. According to Killswitch ...

Forrealism Single by 11:00A.M. In conjunction with the site launch at reservoirsound.com the collective brings to you a double single release from in-house group 11:00A.M. (MC Eleven + A.M. Breakups) accompanied with turntablism by Shortrock. The Forrealism Single takes on the traditional b-boy approach with the title track & b-side 'Makes/breaks' the break-it-down get-to-know members of the band theme. Also included in this single is the Willie Green Replicant Remix of 'Awareness' from the M-Theory mixtape. The Mother Earth Single takes on a more serious nature, suited for the May [...]

When the Black Dalia Murder announced last week that they have officially welcomed Max Lavelle as their new bassist, everybody was like "BUT WAIT, I LOVED RYAN 'BART' WILLIAMS,' what happened to Bart?!? Being the awesome dudes that they are, the band didn't just let it die down and keep quiet, they tackled the issue ...

April departs with a busy Monday: ► Remember when guitar bands had platinum records? Eve 6 does. The L.A. pop-punk trio was selling records in droves before they were old enough to drink, but in 2004 after a platinum album (19982s "Eve 63), a gold record (20002s "Horrorscope") and a disappointing third album (20032s "It's All in Your Head"), they went away. Now Max Collins, John Siebels and Tony Fagenson are back with "Speak in Code" (out last week), and their radio-friendly hooks seem sharp as ever. The girls-going-wild single "Victoria" may not be [...]

Over the weekend at the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival, the Black Dahlia Murder absolutely crushed it on the first night of the event. During their set, frontman Trevor Strnad officially welcomed bassist Max Lavelle into the fold. Lavelle has previously played in Despised Icon and Burn In Silence. Max has been playing with ...

On Thursday, just when we were gearing up for a four day weekend of sitting in the park and drinking cider, Kerouac decided to announce that they were splitting up. While this news is terrible, we're kinda glad we didn't hear it 48 hours ago, as the feelings of sadness and disappointment this news has brought about in us would surely have soured the whole of our Easter holiday, rather than just half of it. Thankfully, however, the band have given us a sole ray of sunshine to get us out of this black mood, by [...]

Another casualty of the road. Instrumetalists Scale The Summit have announced they have parted ways with their bassist, Jordan Eberhardt. There doesn't seem to be any drama or hard feelings, Eberhardt was just over touring and decided to pursue other interests. The band have already announced a replacement in Mark Michell of Tetrafusion. This guy ...

Looks like the clues were right! A few months ago Oceano said they were calling it quits and their last show would be at the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival. Last week, clues popped up suggesting otherwise, including a scheduled show after the fest. The band has checked in over the weekend, confirming they ...

A few months ago, Oceano announced they are over it and would be playing their last show at next month's New England Metal and Hardcore Festival. Now comes so clues to the contrary. The investigative journalists at ThePRP have deduced it may not be over for the Chicago deathcore providers. They have a show scheduled ...

The only thing missing at the Satellite on Saturday night was a huge banner that read "Welcome Class of 1996." Imperial Teen's show behind their first album since 2007, "Feel the Sound," felt like a class reunion where all the cool kids convened to revisit the old days and show off their new luxury automobiles, minus any of pettiness or backbiting that you might find around the punchbowl. There were wry jokes, impish smiles and knowing winks from the foursome of Roddy Bottum, Will Schwartz, Lynn Truell and Jone Stebbins, and, best of all, an [...]

The Swedish duo throws in the towel.

Whoa! This is a shocker. When Sick Drummer Magazine first reported that Animals As Leaders might have a new drummer, I didn't want to believe it. How could drumming mastermind Navene Koperweis quit a band that he is very much an important member of? Then, late Friday night, we received a press released that confirmed ...

The noise punks promise one last EP.

**UPDATE** 3/22 Wounds were opened when Jack White recently told NME that he and Meg, barring severely needing cash, will never play together again. Claiming that when they released the statement that spelled out their end, they meant it. "Absolutely no chance. I couldn't see any reason to ever do that. I'm not the kind of person that would retire from baseball and come out of retirement the next year. I mean, if we went to all the trouble of telling people we're done, we meant it, you know?" While I am [...]

El 14 de febrero ha salido a la vent a "Running Jumping Falling Shouting", nuevo álbum del quinteto de Los Angeles The Breakups. El disco se nos presenta como una colección de temas a medio camino entre el indie-pop y el power-pop, en las que se pueden apreciar las influencias de la banda entre las que podríamos citar a The Shins, The New Pornographers o Wilco. Evidentemente, con influencias como esas, difícilmente un disco puede ser malo, y no hay más [...]

Today the band announced that guitarist Christopher Amott has decided to leave the band. This does not seem to be a ...
