Youth Brigade & Off With Their Heads
Youth Brigade will be supporting the upcoming release of the BYO Records 25th Anniversary Boxed set with shows on the East Coast. Touring with them will be Minneapolis’ own, Off With Their Heads. The two bands share key interests that include a penchant for punk rock with more hooks than a fisherman’s tackle box and a love for each other’s bands! A third band will be joining them starting the September 17 date and will be announced in the coming weeks.
The full-length documentary Let Them Know: The Story of Youth Brigade and BYO Records will screen in select cities in conjunction with these tour dates. More details on the release and movie screenings to come. This is only one leg in Youth Brigade’s planned touring which will extend into winter of ’09.
In the meantime, check out the recently launched website www.letthemknowthemovie.com for more on what’s coming up.

Playing Catchup
I know the volume of reviews has been low as of late. In the interest of restoring the natural balance and harmony to the world, the next batch of reviews may be decidedly brief and for that I apologize.
On another note, Danny from the North Side Kings and his family have been the victims of a house fire. They lost everything. If you can help out at all, please click here to make a donation.
And finally, The Peacocks (Switzerland) are playing at the Radio Room in San Diego tonight. It should be a damn fine show. I’ve been wanting to see them for years and now I finally can.
Cheers,
Jerry Actually
Trustkill band Soldiers to release new CD in 2009
Long Island’s SOLDIERS are feverishly writing for their follow up album to 2008’s “End Of Days”. Singer and songwriter Rick Jiminez checked in with Trustkill to say, “We’ve had some time this spring and summer between the activity of all of our other bands and started writing some new shit. It’s been a while since we had written and released “End Of Days” so we approached this from a totally refreshed perspective. The stuff is still as pissed and frustrated as ever.”
Speaking more specifically on some new songs, Rick said, “The past year and a half have built up quite a bit of cynicism and rage in me and the music also reflects that. “Black Scar” is a new song that switches the perspective of how I usually approach a song. Instead of focusing my attention towards how I observe others and their actions, I’ve used the song to express what I’ve become because of the filth I see and am sometimes forced to be surrounded by.”

Aggrolites Kick Off US Tour
THE AGGROLITES KICK OFF US TOUR IN ANTICIPATION OF NEW ALBUM
Soulful Dirty Reggae Group Embarks On US Tour In Support of Their New Album, IV, Due Out June 9th
“Through sheer force of will (not to mention grooves so enticing you can’t help but fall into them), this quintet simply commands you to buy into their music, which they call “dirty reggae.” It’s rock-steady with a punk-funk edge, with frontman Jesse Wagner’s white-soul vocals and Roger Rivas’ crazy organ lines giving it a party-or-die feel.” – Kevin Bronson, buzzbands.la

NOFX – Coaster Out Today
Fat Mike has great news to report from across the pond:
Things I learned going to Ireland: Don’t order Bushmills in Dublin. Don’t order Jameson in Belfast. Don’t drink too much on the ferry, or too little, cuz either way, you will get sick.
Oh, this is the important news: the NOFX record comes out today. What’s more important is that it will be priced under $10 in every store in North America. This is not a sale. This is how much this CD costs, and not only that, but EVERY CD on Fat Wreck Chords will now be under $10 and most will be under $8.
No, we are not crazy. We just think that having a very low CD price is a fair way for scene supporting music fans to support their favorite independent bands and labels. Sound crazy? I think it sounds reasonable. We make less profit, but bands hopefully will sell more CDs to more people, which is why we started doing this in the first place.
Ok, I’m off the ferry now, but still seasick. I think this whole island might be floating.
Cheers,
Mike

I Scream Records releases Hoods’ “Pit Beast”
I Scream Records releases Hoods “Pit Beast” on June 9th in the US!
One of the most brutal and honest West Coast Hardcore bands ever!!
This record is a must for any hard music fan, featuring 11 brutal, heart felt songs. The music is a call to arms for all those who have grown tired watching Hardcore be exploited and bastardized.
Hoods are a Hardcore institution formed by Mike Hood in 1995. Since that day the band has built a legacy that has outlasted the fakes and pretenders who have infiltrated the Hardcore scene.
Hoods have toured North America and Europe many times and can be considered as one of the hardest working bands out there. They’re on tour in the US right now and will invade Europe in May ’09. So look for Hoods at a festival or club near you soon!!
