The Week That Was: Dec. 12 – Dec. 18

A lot of things happen each and every week that sometimes it’s hard to keep track of everything. If you’re somehow without internet access for a day, you could miss a big tour announcement or signing – and we don’t want that to happen. That’s why we have “The Week That Was” where we will recap the more important news stories from the past week.

This week’s highlights include:

• Paramore lost two of it’s members
• Avenged Sevenfold departed ways with their drummer and cancelled their appearance at the Soundwave Festival
• Calgary’s Chixdiggit announced plans for a new album
• Murder By Death announced their touring schedule for 2011 and plans for a massive vinyl box set
• Mark Hoppus talked about the new Blink182 album and performed a Christmas duet with Ben Folds
• Screeching Weasel released details about their 25th anniversary show
• The New Pornographers released a new music video in association with Oxfam
• Bring Me The Horizon got kicked off of Wembley Stadium
• Against Me! blamed Warner Music for “serious mistakes”
• We posted some new pictures of The Devil Wears Prada
