New Interview With Jim Lindberg

Pennywise

Jim Lindberg of Pennywise and Black Pacific talked with Dying Scene:

I’ve thought about that a lot recently because, like I said, I’ve got two boxes full of hour-long cassette tapes. I was talking with John Feldman of Goldfinger and he produces a lot of bands. I was telling him I’ve got so many songs that I know there’s something in there that you can work with. So, I’d love to do more than that, because there’s a lot of times when I write with a specific song or a specific sound in mind. I have a few songs that could be good Rancid songs and I have a song that could be a good NOFX song, if they were still around. I like writing with other bands in mind. So, you never know. Hopefully at some point some of these songs will find a home.

The Cure Tease Another New Album

The Cure

Robert Smith said in a new Radio X interview they hope to have it out “before summer.”

The companion piece to Songs Of A Lost World, which will be out hopefully before next summer, is what I’m currently finishing. I just need to mix it. It’s not as dark in some ways, although it actually has probably the saddest song of all of them on it. It has a couple of songs that we were playing live which didn’t make it onto Songs Of A Lost World and it has some completely new stuff that no one’s ever heard. But it’s probably more varied, I think.

M. Shadows of Avenged Sevenfold Gives New Interview

Avenged Sevenfold

M. Shadows of Avenged Sevenfold sat down for a lengthy new video interview. He talks about how the touring industry is really diffucult right now:

“Touring is very hard right now for bands,” Shadows said [as transcribed by Blabbermouth]. “It’s almost impossible. And you’re also having a big downturn in ticket sales right now. People have been blown out by ticket prices, because of the touring, because of the inflation, so every single thing stacks on top. And then you’ve got people that are very upset about what ticket prices are, which I get. It’s kind of crazy to go see a couple of bands and it’s gonna cost you five, six hundred bucks, or if it’s country artists, it’s a thousand dollars, if it’s Taylor Swift, it’s $3,200, or whatever it is.”
