Glorious Noise Boards

In some very, very exciting news - the almight Hoover is doing some dates. Currently Europe only, but hopefully this will lead to some stateside dates. Check out the tours section of www.dischord.com for the info on the dates. No other news seems to be available currently.

You can listen to "Panasonic Youth" from the upcoming D.E.P. album Miss Machine at Lambgoat.

I've been listening to these guys a lot lately. Their new CD is currently Japan and Europe only (they don't have a US label yet), but they have a few EPs out and you can listen to songs on their site , as well as order the full-length directly from them. I got it yesterday and I can't stop listening...

I saw these guys play last night with The Rye Coalition. They are amazing. They are a Nintendo band. All Nintendo music.

At the risk of sounding elitist, I'm going to say this about new Punisher film: First of all, I have seen two trailiers for the film and it looks absolutely terrible. And by that I mean even worse than the 1989 version starring Dolph Lundgren. In fact, I think if they had gotten Lundgren to be in it...
