The brutal hardcore alliance kicks off late this October and will mangle its way through nearly 30 cities.

“The drugs! The debauchery! The decadence! The wild-man performances from Iggy Pop, a man with a taste for peanut butter-not to eat, but to smear on his chest-and broken glass, which he likewise worked into his flesh while on stage. It’s all here in Brett Callwood’s exhaustive account of the rise and demise of the Stooges, the Michigan band who effectively invented punk rock.”  

  Punk icons the Misfits return with their long-awaited, first full-length release of all-new, original material in nearly a decade.

Denton, TX’s ENORMICON has unleashed a progressive-minded brand of heavy stoner rock/metal to the world with the Storm of Swords EP.

Atlantic recording group Shinedown has begun work on their hugely anticipated fourth studio album.  The multi-platinum rock band will be joined at Hollywood’s famed Ocean Way Recording by multiple Grammy Award-winning producer Rob Cavallo (Kid Rock, Green Day), who previously collaborated with the band on their RIAA platinum certified third album, “THE SOUND OF MADNESS.”

Today the North American masses can officially consume the debut full-length from Massachusetts-based death squad, ALL PIGS MUST DIE, the unforgiving bastard called God Is War. With the underground metal and hardcore media already praising this unhinged beast of an album for its mammoth tone, its energetic diversity, and overall for its unfuckwithable demeanor, God Is War is already being called one of the best heavy albums of 2011 by respected zines and writers internationally.  

Fresh from an almost completely sold-out summer tour, Taking Back Sunday will return to the road for a nationwide headlining run this fall.

Arizona five-piece and Warner Bros Records label mates The Maine will support, along with Bad Rabbits.
