New Music Kicks!

Dude, do we make the best shoes or what?

This spring, we're happy to announce 2 new pairs of Kiss Vans and a super new and super awesome Rise Against slip-on!



Our new Kiss shoes hark back to the "Hotter Than Hell" album artwork and will be available in a SK8-Hi and our classic Slip-On. The hottest part is that sick yellow lining and those purple laces.

The Rise Against Slip-On features the same figure from the "Appeal To Reason" album thrown into a Andy Warhol-ish rendition. No doubt these are going to hit it big this year.

These goodies hit retailers in March. Along with this Kiss collab t-shirt!

DEP Single and Tour


For all of our avid readers, I'm sure you recall the posts about Dillinger Escape Plan writing and their fun video updates from the studio. Well, now we can go ahead and hear what all of their hard work has brought us!



DEP's new album Option Paralysis isn't due until March 23, but we can grab the album's first single "Farewell, Mona Lisa" on iTunes or Amazon.com. It was released earlier this week and is already making some headway on the digital charts.

Since I know you just downloaded the single and are amped for the album, you can pre-order it in iTunes, too!

As with any new release, the guys also have a very, very busy schedule ahead of them with touring. They are kicking off in the beginning of February and will carry all the way through August- so that means you have a few times to catch them this year. There's also a US headlining tour in the works for March and April, so we'll get the details to you as soon as we know them!

Two bands and two new albums



Darkest Hour and Bring Me The Horizon have both began working on new releases for next year.

Darkest Hour, who just got off tour with Trivium, are in the midst of finding a new label and are starting to write for an upcoming album during the process. They plan to start recording early in 2010. We wish them the best in finding an awesome label for the release!

For now we are waiting on the new music video for "The Tides." It's been shot and currently being edited.

Bring Me The Horizon seem to already have some material written and will be hitting the studio over the next few weeks with producer Fredrik Nordstom; he's worked on albums with Dimmu Borgir and In Flames...so we know it's legit. We can expect the album in summer 2010.

What Oli Sykes has to say about it:

It’s been one hell of a year, non-stop for us really! Our second album Suicide Season has taken us further than we ever thought was possible. I think we found our unique sound with that album and the next is going to be using Suicide Season as a base, but pushing it further in every single way imaginable.

It’s happening with Fredrick Nordstrom again, since he made us sound so amazing last time – all very exciting, stay tuned!

Want more BMTH? Their merch store is 50% off right now. CRAZY!

All kinds of new MxPx!

MxPx will post up their new song "End" on the band's MySpace page this Friday, Nov 13th at 9 am PST. The EP "Left Coast Punk" will be released the following week on Nov 17th. The EP features 6 songs and will be released on the band's label Rock City Recording Company. It will be sold digitally, but there is a limited edition CD version that will have 4 extra tracks- 3 instrumental tracks and "On a String," a previously unreleased demo track. There are only gonna be 500 of these babies which also includes an autographed poster. You can only get it on the band's website.

If that's not enough to make your little pop-punk heart happy, then you can also look forward to their Christmas album! Every year, they record a Christmas tune for the fan club, but this year looks like we all may be getting a little more...

The Dillinger Escape Plan finish recording Option Paralysis



DEP have been recording their new album "Option Paralysis" for the past 5 weeks. Today the band announced they have finished! The release date is still unknown but if the guys had half as much fun as it seems in their videos below, we should be in for a pretty solid release.

Check out their recording shenanigans:

Ninjasonik "Daylight" remix

Ninjasonik recently did a remix of Matt & Kim's "Daylight." I think I actually like this version better. I'm also a big fan of one-take videos and this one has a rad ending. Check it out!
