Black Tide have packed up their bags and gear and began their 8-10 week stay in New York to record a new album. With producer GGGarth Richardson (Rage Against The Machine, Gallows) and Josh Wilbur (Lamb Of God), I think you can expect a most excellent sounding release in late 2010. According to bassist Zakk, they have an astounding 37 or 38 songs they are ready to record. Maybe we can hope for a double disc?Also while in NY, the

Ninjasonik at Spaceland

Last night I dropped into Spaceland in LA to catch up with Ninjasonik. They aren't doing a big tour right now, but since they came out to record some new tracks they figured they'd give the west coast some love. As always, Teenwolf, Jah Jan & Bathroomsexxx did not disappoint. They were definitely on it & put on a great show.

There's a new music documentary titled Sounds Like A Revolution in the works featuring Henry Rollins, Ice-T, Anti-Flag, Fat Mike and Tom Morello, among others, that seems to focus on the impact of music on our society and issues that we have faced in today's history.

I know, I know. We all were confused, but word on the street says this band is totally legit...despite the fact that we haven't heard anything from them. They could be the only band
