Sponsor: MxPx Announce Livestream Series

MxPx - Sponsor

MxPx will be playing live on the internet this Friday, October 16th at 6:30pm PT. Tickets and merch bundles are now for sale.

The band will be playing songs from their entire catalog, including deep cuts that haven’t been played in years. With shows not being a thing for a while, the plan is for the band to continue doing this for the foreseeable future. Everything will be live, uncut, and uncensored. As with Mike’s Life in Quarantine sessions earlier this year, this stream will interact with fans and a lot of the banter will be based on things that happen in real time.

Once you have a ticket you can rewatch the livestream for up to one week if you can’t make the live event.

Review: Madina Lake – The Beginning of New Endings

Madina Lake - The Beginning of New Endings

It feels great to have Madina Lake back in the fold. With their first taste of new music since 2011, The Beginning of New Endings is an aptly titled EP as the band starts the latest chapter in their discography. Madina Lake came up through the Warped Tour scene in the latter part of the 00’s decade and released three fairly solid LPs along the way. When the group disbanded in September 2013, many people thought we had heard the last from the Chicago-based rock band. The Leone brothers announced their reunion in 2017, added a new drummer in Chris Mason, and re-connected with their longtime guitarist Mateo Camargo to complete their comeback. Madina Lake has come back stronger than ever with an EP that lives up to the legacy of their earlier work.

LANY also got their first top ten album:

LANY scores its highest charting album, and first top 10, as the trio’s Mama’s Boy bows at No. 7 with 55,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that figure, 46,000 are from album sales (assisted by merchandise/album bundles), 9,000 from SEA units (equating to 11.5 million in on-demand streams of the album’s songs) and a negligible sum from TEA units.
