Our Coachella thread has been a great place to talk about, and catch up on, everything going on at this weekend’s festival. Don’t forget that they’re live streaming this weekend on YouTube: Channel 1, Channel 2, Channel 3. A better look at the schedule is up on their website. The two I’m looking forward to most today are The 1975 at around 6:30 pm (PST) and Rancid at around 4:40 pm.
The new NOFX song “Hepatitis Bathtub” can be streamed below. The track was sent out to everyone that pre-ordered the band’s new book The Hepatitis Bathtub and Other Stories.
Young the Giant will release Home of the Strange on August 12th via Fueled by Ramen. The video for the new song “Amerika” can be found on YouTube or by hitting read more.
The album release day right before Record Store Day is always a tough one to navigate — looking over the new releases and trying to figure out what you’re going to pick up over the weekend. All of this week’s releases can be found on our release date calendar, or below. I haven’t checked out anything that’s coming out today yet, is there anything I should definitely make sure to add to my list? I know Craig Manning highly recommends that Sturgill Simpson album.
Charlie Simpson will release Little Hands on May 5th. The album is a collection of songs written and recorded between 2010-2016, and is being released in celebration of the upcoming Busted reunion tour. A teaser video and the track listing are below.
Patrick Stump from Fall Out Boy has remixed Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Run Away With Me.” This song is one of my favorites of last year, but after seeing this, I’ll never hear those opening notes the same.
Moose Blood have signed with Hopeless Records and will release their new song, “Honey,” on Sunday. Great signing — congrats all around.
Tasneem Nashrulla, writing for Buzzfeed, spoke with Laura Jane Grace of Against Me! about the band’s choice to play a concert in North Carolina next month in light of the state’s ridiculous new “bathroom law.”
“Bryan Adams and Bruce Springsteen aren’t transgender,” Grace said. “For them to say, ‘I think this bill is messed up and I’m not going to go here and be part of the state,’ that seems like the effort of an ally, which is really commendable.”
But Grace said that the transgender people who live in North Carolina don’t have the option to boycott the state. “They live here. They pay taxes. They are prisoners to it.” While Grace acknowledged that someone like Springsteen canceling his concert brought a lot of attention to the issue, she said, “no one would care if we canceled.”
Acceptance have posted a little teaser clip of new music on Facebook.
