Haven’t heard of Static Radio yet? Come on kid, get with it! The melodic hardcore Jerseyites have been busy of late, opening up for Hot Water Music, The Bouncing Souls, and The Loved Ones. They also released their One For The Good Guys EP last year.
Black Numbers, the band’s label, have set up a preview site for the band’s new full-length, An Evening Of Bad Decisions, where you can preview two new tracks. Evening will be released this summer so keep a mental note and pick it up.
I never thought I would be laughing while Elliott Smith’s classic “Needle in the Hay” was being played. That is, until this video popped up that features Kermit (well…Sad Kermit atleast), fed up with being green and probably Miss Piggy’s contstant smothering, singing those all-so-painful lyrics. Hell, there is even the double-tracked vocals and a Royal Tenenbaums reenactment. Well done my friend. Check it below. Be sure to check out more of Sad Kermit’s melancholy at his Myspace.
Brooklyn-based pop punks Young Hearts have put their The Fight EP online for free. The band is one of the best up-and-coming bands from the NYC scene. Simply put, they tear shit up! I could probably listen to “Backs To It” on repeat for hours, if not days. They’re on tour starting May 17th, so if the circus of awesomeness that is YH hits your town, definitely check them out. You won’t regret it. You can download the EP right here, and check their Myspace page for tour dates.
Also, since the band includes members of Dear Tonight, don’t forget the last DT show ever, which will go down on June 14th at Lost & Found in Brooklyn.
Stephen Malkmus and Broken Social Scene (among many others) will headline this year’s Siren Music Fest at Coney Island. The annual free concert will go down on Saturday, July 19th. Get the sunblock ready.
The inital lineup is posted after the jump!
