HC supergroup United Nations have announced a New York City show (which happens to be their 3rd live show ever) at the Delancey on May 23rd. The band is “rumored” to be comprised of Geoff from Thursday, Daryl from Glassjaw/Head Automatica and Ben from Converge.

No, we haven’t become an art blog or anything like that, but when it comes to the news about the always incredible artwork by Jake Bannon, we can’t pass up reporting on it. Bannon’s work has been featured on numerous Converge releases and on albums put out by his label, Deathwish, Inc., but will now be featured in an upcoming gallery show this weekend. If you’re in the Los Angeles area, head over to the Tradition shop, a streetwear boutique owned by the guitar player from Strife, to see an artshow featuring not just Bannon’s work, but also that of Derek Albeck, Marco Zamora, Christoper Cuseo (Knife Fight), Axis, and many more.
Check out a preview of some of the pieces after the jump!
Jake Bannon has basically reached prolific status at this point. Whether wearing down his vocal chords with Converge or taking things easy with his newest side project under the name J. Bannon, which sounds like his past project Supermachiner, but more ambient, the man has been innovating within the scene for well over a decade at this point. Listen to an excerpt of the song “The Blood” from the upcoming The Blood of Thine Enemies and prepare to feel like you’re in the creepiest horror movie ever.

Converge has unleashed their new video for “No Heroes.” Off of the album of the same name, the video is just like their music; brutal and relentless, like a blood thirsty tiger ripping at the neck of it’s prey.
