Bouncing Souls lead crooner Greg Attonito and his wife Shanti Wintergate are celebrating the release of their children’s book “I Went for a Walk” with an extensive reading tour. Along the way, the two will read the book and play a few acoustic songs. This is your chance parents to be truly hip so be sure to bring the kiddies! Punk rockers, please don’t be the children scaring-drunk as a skunk-leather-clad bozo in the back screaming for “East Coast Fuck You!” Tour dates after the jump.

Ok, I know, this is too easy folks but I just couldn’t resist. Mainstream darlings Paramore are covering the second half of At The Drive In’s “One Armed Scissor” at their concerts in arenas across America, in front of many confused young adults. If this is not the ultimate “what the fuck?” moment, I don’t know what is. I’ll let you compare and contrast though, so you can be the judge. The cover and the real thing; an infamous performance from At The Drive In on Letterman of said song around the release of Relationship Of Command. I mean, I gotta hand it to Paramore though, they could be covering far worse material. Follow the jump for both videos. [Read more →]

Cartoon Network’s bringers of metal have arrived with their face-crushing, devil-horn-a’raisin’ debut The Dethalbum. Warning, the following mp3 will most likely result in the following things: melting of eyeballs, instant hair growth - most likely shoulder length, philosophy change with the principal belief being that Rob Halford and Lemmy are God, metal babes with handfuls of cheap beer knocking at your door, a uniform of boots with shorts, last name change-most likely to Murderface, and the statement “god, Gorillaz suck. Dethklok eat their souls,” among a handful of other side effects. An mp3 of “Hatredcopter” is below. Don’t say we didn’t warn you sucker. Be on the lookout for an interview in the near future.

Ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to annouce a new column I will be updating every Thursday here at LNWF; The 7-inch corner (Ta-dah!). Every week, I will be talking about one or two (or seven) 7-inchs, some new or old that I’ve picked up on my travels of late. So follow after the jump for the first edition of the 7-inch corner, with Government Warning’s Arrested and Dillinger Four’s More Songs About Girlfriends And Bubblegum.

*Adjusts mask and Robin tights* Holy Kid Dynamite, Batman! Ok, now that I got that out of the way, Static Radio’s 7-song album, One For The Good Guys, out now on Black Numbers Records, is a pretty insane punch to the face. Sorry for the Kid Dynamite joke, but it’s an apt comparison as these dudes mix melodic punk rock, throat-tearing vocals, and hardcore ferocity into a sound that, while not exactly original, is still full of heart and guts and gets you pumped.
