Rocket From the Crypt, Bad Brains and X on the lineup as well. The post Blondie, Public Enemy, Dismemberment Plan to play Riot Fest appeared first on Treble: Music news, reviews, interviews and more .

>> Birmingham, England-based indie demigods Johnny Foreigner let loose a torrent of good news Tuesday at its webtumblrthingo , where it reported working on no fewer than three (!!!) new releases. According to this blog post , the quartet is prepared to self-release imminently via its BigCartel what it is calling a "mini album + photo set thing." Proceeds from the sale of the collection will apparently go to paying increased rent on the band's rehearsal space, which we think is an admirable goal. In June the band plans to release a new EP [...]

People usually associate the DC music scene with the legendary hardcore and post-punk bands on Dischord records: Minor Threat, Fugazi, Rites of Spring, etc. I lived in the capital city area for almost 20 years and while I loved the hardcore bands I always thought it was a shame that the music of the city was so pigeonholed. Most people were unaware that the music of chocolate city had evolved beyond the “Dischord sound." It was a vibrant place with bands exploring and mixing numerous genres and styles, and now a new book that explores those innovative and daring bands [...]
gimmetinnitus : Dismemberment Plan - The Ice of Boston
Dismemberment Plan - The Ice of Boston

It's the last day of the year, and as far as 2012 is concerned, we are done and dusted. And unless you're a moron of truly terminal proportions, you'll also be aware that it's New Year's Eve today. While there's plenty of Christmas-themed metal out there , there's precious little when it comes to New Year-themed rock. Basically there are crap covers of 'Auld Lang Syne' and this - 'The Ice Of Boston'. And yeah, plenty of The Dismemberment Plan's material isn't exactly Thrash Hits-level heav, but [...]
Stereogum There will never be another Dismemberment Plan, which is why it's so exciting that there will be another Dismemberment Plan album. Two years of slowly building momentum - a reissue, a tour, a wealth of new material - culminated in frontman Travis Morrison's confirmation via Twitter last month that a new LP is almost complete. Like Morrison, I've been "a little amped" since then. That feeling only escalated this week when the band published an elaborate lyrics and YouTube archive [...]

Like Morrison, I've been "a little amped" since then.

I was standing there listening to The Dismemberment Plan play their track The City live at Merriweather Post Pavilion during the Virgin Mobile Free Fest. I’m not sure if it was the energy put behind performing The City or the fact that Travis Morrison forgot the lyrics for their track You Are Invited , not once but twice; nonetheless, I was hooked. That’s when it hit me: how in the world have I not listened to this band before?! I’m hoping I’m not the only one that’s had that moment about a band [...]

Two years ago the legendary Dismemberment Plan reunited, and now there's confirmation by the band's frontman Travis Morrison that the band is very nearly done with a new LP. Below, you can see several tweets from Morrison, including a tweet that says that the LP is at least 80% done! just comped new Plan lyrics into one book. I do this when our albums are 80% done or so. A little amped, I can't lie. #nowbacktowork — travismorrison (@travismorrison) October 2, 2012 [...]

Photo by Heather Kaplan In a week which has already seen The Replacements reunite and Godspeed You! Black Emperor release their first album in a decade , it's only right that The Dismemberment Plan now have their own October surprise. Frontman Travis Morrison has confirmed on his Twitter account that the band is currently at work on a new album, their first since 20012s Change . According to one tweet , Morrison "just comped new Plan lyrics into one book," which typically marks when the [...]

Beloved DC post-punk outfit Dismemberment Plan have indirectly confirmed that they have a new album and that they are 80% of the way through it. Frontman Travis Morrison posted this to his Twitter: Just [compiled] new [Dismemberment Plan] lyrics into one book. I do this when our albums are 80% done or so. A little amped, I can't lie. Current frontrunner for album title is "The Adventures of Bobby Beverage And Two Shoe Lou." The band last released Change [...]

The Dismemberment Plan 's latest reformation seems to be sticking. News has been trickling out about new songs . The bands seems to be having a blast playing live, too, as this live video at The Metro Gallery clearly indicates. A new official band YouTube page has surfaced featuring "Mexico City Christmas," which sounds like vintage D-plan crica Emergency & I . I can't believe it's been a decade since the comparatively somber Change came out, but I'll gladly welcome a new album should it happen.

I hate fan videos. They're shaky, sound bad, and really you should've just been there in the first place. People who take fan videos are like those people who walk around art museums taking photos of the paintings. But, the Dismemberment Plan? I'll watch any fan video of that anytime. Having caught the reunion show in NYC two Januarys ago, I thought: "That's it. It's over." There was this sense of the show, helped by the fact that all of us in line were already in [...]

The Dismemberment Plan vocalist Travis Morrison recently spoke about the reunited band's new material. Here's what he had to say: We played a bunch of new songs this weekend at our shows. Eight to be exact! It went well, we think. We have a bunch more coming so we're going back to the lab to work on brand new ones and tweak these. No plans for recording as of yet, although certainly those conversations are happening now. Beyond that, the shows were great. The venues, the crowds, all of it. [...]

photo by Brittany Bush Bollay Canadian duo Japandroids have already had a banner summer of 2012 touring behind their second album Celebration Rock , and they'll be taking their stage-dive friendly live show across the world for the rest of the year too. After traveling across Europe for two months, they'll be returning to the United States in November (with a stop at Neumos on November 15th). To celebrate, the duo have released their first-ever music video for "The House That Heaven Built", which you can watch below. [...]
