 In an interview with RockRadio, Tom DeLonge of Blink 182 discussed the band’s upcoming new album:
The record will be very modern, relevant, fast and fun. It’ll be a mixture of drum’n’bass, indie rock and stadium rock. I can’t say we’ve done that before, but you can see the tip of the iceberg on the last record.
Anyone who listens to my band Angels and Airwaves will know where I sit musically. If you imagine that, mixed in with what the other guys do in their spare time, you get it. It’s going to be a really great collaboration of the best of three different genres of music.
Once released, the record will be the band’s first release since their 2003 self-titled album.

 Brian Fallon of The Gaslight Anthem has posted the first in a two part Frequently Asked Questions series online. In it, unsurprisingly, he answers some frequently asked questions about the band including the origins of the name:
There was a club in New York City from 1958-1971 called The Gaslight, where Bob Dylan, Richie Havens, Odetta, and other great folk artists got their starts. To us, it seemed cool to refer back to when people who became legendary were just starting out, everybody starts from somewhere. It also was a collective, each person learning from watching others, honing their craft. The “Anthem” came from the central song, or idea of this place, which reminded us of our basement collectives we had growing up, throwing and playing shows.
And the prospect of a solo album:
I doubt I’d do an acoustic album or a “solo” album, but I would like to make a record people can listen to in the night time. I think I’d like to do that with a band name and some friends

 Orlando’s VRGNS, and their label Kiss Of Death Records, has released the Orlando based groups new album, Manimals, as a free download over on the label’s website. Manimals was recorded by Chris Owes of Lords in Louisville, KY. Guitarist/vocalist Johnson offers an insight as to the album’s direction, listing a range of inspirations and influences:
“This is my favorite shit I’ve done and it seriously rocks. I feel like it’s got a lot of old punk influences like Dead Boys, Adolescents, The Damned, and Circle Jerks, but rocks like my current faves like Nirvana, Hot Snakes and some poppy shit too, like The Dickies or some badass shit like The Dwarves.”
Since their previous release, 2008′s Miscarriage, VRGNS have welcomed new member and bassist Alex Goldfarb (Gatorface). They are currently scheduled to appear at this year’s edition of THE FEST in Gainesville, FL over Halloween weekend.
The album is available for download here.

 Vancouver folk metal group Scythia has announced that they will be embarking on a cross Canada trek that will kick off in Victoria, BC and make its way east over the following six weeks. Scythia‘s tour will see them promoting their upcoming release, …Of War, which is set for an October 5, 2010 release. Vocalist/Guitarist Dave Khan comments on the album’s direction and intent:
“Folk music is definitely more ambient, pure, and beautiful. Metal is intense, raunchy, and driving. The use of both in songs, combined with dynamic contouring, has the ability to take the listener on the kind of journey that rises to mountain peaks and descends into valleys, in a sonic sort of way.”
Download the first track from the album, “Fierce Riders Of Scythia,” here. Tour dates can be found below.

 Escape the Fate has revealed that their forthcoming major label debut will be self-titled and unleashed on November 2, 2010 via DGC/Interscope Records. The album’s first track, “Massacre,” premiered last weekend on MySpace and boasts over 200,000 page views in 48 hours. Bassist Max Green explains why the band chose the track “Massacre,” as their first single, as well as their ambitions for the album:
“We’re making our mark on the world 100% through blood sweat and tears and so we felt we should set it in stone by self titling our album… We chose ‘Massacre’ as a street track for the fans because it is full force and us at our peak. Right out the gate it makes you wanna get up and break something!”
Bandmate Monte Money adds:
“There are no more questions about who we are. This album is us, through and through,” says Monte. “Every member has grown, and we’re waving our flag. Welcome to fucking Escape The Fate.” Max adds, “Our record will be the cure for the modern day music epidemic. We are wiping the slate clean and re-writing rock music as you know it!”
The band will be heading on tour in support. Tour dates can be found below.
