Undisputed Pop-Punk Champs New Found Glory Will Release New Album On March 10th

Pop-punk's reigning champs, New Found Glory, come out swinging on their hotly anticipated new album, Not Without A Fight, due March 10th on Epitaph Records.  Defending their title against any and all contenders, the platinum-selling group's sixth studio album delivers a one-two knockout with fist-pumping hooks and catchy sing-along choruses. Working with producer Mark Hoppus (Motion City Soundtrack, The Matches) and mixer Neil Avron (Fall Out Boy) in their corner, NFG prove that challengers don't stand a chance. 

In anticipation of the release, New Found Glory will kick off the Fight on January 6th with an album pre-sale, online video game and a weigh-in press conference (check it out below) that will be followed by – in true NFG fashion – hysterically funny training videos launching each week beginning January 22nd that will ultimately lead up to the main event:  a new music video for their first single "Listen To Your Friends." 



New Found Glory have been slugging it out for over a decade alongside bands like Green Day and Blink 182, becoming one of the most celebrated pop-punk bands in the world.  Known for their trademark humor and fun loving attitude, the band's latest effort will bring smiles to fans' faces once again. 

The band's ability to consistently produce pop-punk favorites, album after album, has made New Found Glory a household name worldwide and Not Without A Fight raises the bar.  Comprised of everything fans have come to love about the band, from their bouncy head-bobbing riffs and gang vocals to sing-along choruses and lyrics everyone can relate to, the album delivers knockout blows with the pop anthems like "Listen To Your Friends" (available now for digital download here) and grooving tracks like "47," followed by the right hook "Truck Stop Blues," a song about love on the road. 

New Found Glory goes twelve rounds on Not Without A Fight, putting listeners into submission with each track and reminding fans and bands why they are the reigning champs of pop-punk. 

Stay tuned, New Found Glory will be bringing the Fight to a city near you soon!

Not Without A Fight Tracklisting:
1.    Right Where We Left Off
2.    Don't Let Her Pull You Down
3.    Listen To Your Friends
4.    47
5.    Truck Stop Blues
6.    Tangled Up
7.    I'll Never Love Again
8.    Reasons
9.    Such A Mess
10.    Heartless At Best

Escape the Fate to Headline US Tour in Spring

Not to be Missed! Tickets go on sale Saturday

After honing their skills on the road most recently with Chiodos and Silverstein, Escape the Fate are set to headline their own 6 week US tour beginning on February 5 in Pomona CA. Tickets for all shows go on sale Saturday December 13. Main support on the tour courtesy of Florida’s Black Tide with additional support from Attack Attack, William Control (Aiden) and Burn Halo (ex 18 Visions).

Escape the Fate’s recent release This War is Ours has kept the scene buzzing since its release on October 21 via Epitaph Records. Introducing vocalist Craig Mabbit (formerly of Blessthefall) and produced by John Feldmann (the Used, Story of the Year), the new record caused the mighty Buzznet.com to crash when a flurry of fan activity surrounding the release of the first single “The Flood” overwhelmed the social networking giant’s servers. And it’s only gotten crazier. But while ETF’s fans are growing more rabid by the day, the Las Vegas quartet is enjoying a new-found maturity and dedicated work-ethic, unusual for a young band that Alternative Press summed up succinctly as “a bunch of kids who went from jamming in a garage to opening for My Chemical Romance to being one of the most popular bands in the scene in 18 months.”

Escape the Fate on tour:

2/5 Pomona, CA Glasshouse
2/6 Phoenix, AZ Marquee
2/7 Albuquerque, NM Sunshine
2/8 El Paso, TX Chic's Billards

Steve from I Am Ghost recently stopped by Deviant Nation for an interview. CLICK HERE to check it out!

From Deviant Nation:

"Deviant Nation has always celebrated beauty within darkness and no band better exemplifies that better than California's I Am Ghost. The group is like a bastardized version of AFI mixed with My Chemical Romance, but powerful hooks that punch you in the face and drag you into dark places.

I Am Ghost recently released their sophomore album, "Those We Leave Behind" through Epitaph Records. We caugt up with I Am Ghost mastermind Steve Juliano to talk about the group's rise through the punk and screamo ranks, as well as his love of horror movies and tattoos."

Critically Acclaimed Pioneers Of Post-Hardcore To Release New Album February 17th, New Single “Resuscitation Of A Dead Man” On December 23rd And Announce Headlining Slot On Taste Of Chaos Tour Beginning February 14th

Groundbreaking post-hardcore pioneers, Thursday, will make their triumphant return with the release of their highly anticipated new album, Common Existence, due out on February 17th from Epitaph. Recorded with producer/mixer Dave Fridmann (A City By The Light Divided, Mogwai, MGMT, Flaming Lips) at Tarbox Road Studios in Cassadaga, NY, Common Existence is Thursday’s fifth studio album since the band’s inception in 1997. Packaged presales for the new album will begin on December 10th through the band’s fan club The Thursday Doves, and the album’s first single, “Resuscitation of a Dead Man,” will be available for stream on December 9th and available for digital download on December 23rd. Additionally, in support of the new album the band will be headlining the Rockstar Taste of Chaos Tour, which will kick off at the Palladium in Los Angeles on February 14th.

Since Thursday burst on the scene in 1998 with the release of their debut album Waiting followed by their classic LP Full Collapse in 2001, the media has often scrambled to type cast the band into a certain genre, unsure and unaware of where they exactly fit in. With each album the band has continually expand the breadth of their music by exploring vast musical soundscapes, transcending boundaries and experimenting with new techniques and styles, all while staying true to who they are, avoiding the passing trends and disproving naysayers. Often accused of wearing their hearts on their sleeves by the media, not that they mind, it’s that passion that has led them to the creation of their forthcoming masterpiece, Common Existence, a thought-provoking and socially conscious album that relies heavily on their roots yet isn’t afraid of venturing forward into stimulating new territories.

“The record is called Common Existence, and I think that this record in a lot of ways is the first time that I‘ve looked at a lot of the same things…all the big life events that happen from a more adult perspective.” singer Geoff Rickly recently explained in an exclusive interview with SPIN.com. “No matter how big the tragedy seems in your life, that’s just the same thing every other person out there is going through. So in a way this is like an answer to War All The Time. When we did that record it was about how every little interaction is like this crazy war going on in our lives, and this one says ‘now, well even the biggest things in our lives are very just common place,’ and I think that’s reflected in a lot of themes in the songs, where there’s an overarching theme that’s illustrated by something very specific in that sense it’s a lot like a Bruce Springsteen record.”

Thursday spent a better part of a year writing and recording Common Existence and their efforts have certainly paid off. From the cathartic “As He Climbed The Mountain” (which is probably the first distortion-drenched hardcore song to feature a slide-guitar break) to the stripped-down post-hardcore anthem “Friends In The Armed Forces” and the simultaneously dizzying and jaw-dropping first single “Resuscitation Of A Dead Man,” Common Existence takes all of the elements of the band’s previous evolutions and manages to create a cohesive sound all their own. With further progression of new-wave and indie-rock influences on their sound, the will undoubtedly continue to confuse cynics who want to slap the latest musical tag on Thursday.

Common Existence Tracklisting:
1. Resuscitation of a Dead Man
2. Last Call
3. As He Climbed The Dark Mountain
4. Friends In the Armed Forces
5. Beyond the Visible Spectrum
6. Time’s Arrow
7. Unintended Long Term Effects
8. Circuits of Fever
9. Subway Funeral
10. Love Has Led Us Astray
11. You Were The Cancer
