Between the Trees is Ryan Kirkland: guitar/lead vocals, Brad Kriebel: guitar/vocals, Wes Anderson: keyboards/percussion, Jeremy Butler: bass and Josh Butler: drums

These songs will be followed by one song a week for three weeks.

Both of their releases have garnered a great deal of praise from both the press and their peers. Several of their songs have also appeared on nationally and internationally released compilations.

Lyrically, Heads Held High delves into a variety of subjects. They promote tolerance and freedom of expression above all else; but also deal with issues, such as the importance of seeking knowledge, educated sociopolitical commentary , and the importance of maintaining youthful ideals and aspirations in a world which often strives to crush them.

H3 has spent the last two years booking shows regionally and in their home state of Ohio in an attempt to share their music and message with anyone willing to listen. They have played with a plethora of established modern day stalwarts and upcoming firebrands ranging from The Spudmonsters and Murphy’s Law to Comeback Kid and Only Crime.

Heads Held High is currently playing shows, booking a summer tour, and writing material for a proposed full length release while shopping their most recent recording to interested parties. Heads Held High has an upcoming Midwest to east coast tour with Run Riot starting June 27th and ending July 12th. Check out their web pages to see if they are playing a city near you.

The Widow Jenkins is still on the search for a new singer after the recent exit of vocalist Adam G.

The new demo is available for download, and all you singers out there are urged to download it and record your vocals. Then send it to the band at thewidowjenkins@hotmail.com

The band is currently recording their new full length album to be released on an undetermined label.

Local LA Punk stalwarts RF7 are in the studio working in two phases. It’s the classic contrast of, youth vs. experience.

Group leaders Felix Alanis & Nick Lamagna are splitting the new project in two halves.

In a contrast of two generations, half of the songs have been recorded with the original classic 80’s line up of Walt Phelan (Drums), Robert Armstrong (Bass) and Steve “Dorant” Drojenski (Rhythm Guitar) and half songs by the current line including Tony Calderone (Rhythm & Lead Guitars), Big Mike (Drums) and Xavier Chavez (Bass). As a curveball twist to the project each band goes head to head with their own versions of the title track, “Hatred On The Rise.” Nick calls it RF7’s own American Idol Punk challenge, “We record, you decide”.

Earle Mankey adds his vast studio experience having worked across the musical spectrum from The Beach Boys, Concrete Blonde & The Leaving Trains along with punk favorites, The Weirdo’s The Dickies, The Skulls, The Adicts etc.

Mankey’s first impressions of the project… “there’s two distinct personalities emerging here with the common denominator being Nick’s guitar work and Felix’s unmistakable vocals.” This will be a must have for RF7 purists and punks of all ages!

The recording is expected to wrap up in April with final production completed in May. “We’re looking for a fall release but haven’t settled on a label at this point,” says Felix. http://www.myspace.com/rf7oldschool

Less Than Jake have come up with a name for their new album ... GNV FLA. (after their hometown of Gainesville, Florida). The CD will be released on June 24th and will be the first new stuff on their new label, Sleep It Off Records. Unlike FBR, SIO is self-owned and controlled. Interesting huh? How long do you suppose it will take before Sleep It Off becomes owned and/or controlled by the conglomerates?

Last month, the label re-released four of the band's early titles (Pezcore; Goodbye, Blue & White; Losers, Kings and Things We Don't Understand) plus an expanded DVD thing called The People's History of Less Than Jake.

The new album was recorded at Atlas Studios in Chicago and produced by Matt Allison (Rise Against, Alkaline Trio, The Falcon). GNV FLA Track Listing below:

1. City Of Gainesville
2. The State Of Florida
3. Does the Lion City Still Roar?
4. Summon Monsters
5. Abandon Ship
6. Handshake Meets Pokerface
7. Settling Son
8. Malachi Richter's Liquor's Quicker
9. Golden Age Of My Negative Ways
10. The Space They Can't Touch
11. Conviction Notice
12. This One's Gonna Leave A Bruise
13. The Life Of The Party Has Left The Building
14. Devil In My DNA

The influential, post-Descendents punk-rock band ALL will reunite to headline the annual raucous celebration of Riot Fest on Oct. 10-12 at the Congress Theatre.

Coming together again for the first time in two decades, the lineup will be the one behind the albums "Allroy’s Revenge," "Allroy Saves" and "Perculator," with vocalist Scott Reynolds, drummer Bill Stevenson, guitarist Karl Alvarez and bassist Stephen Egerton.

Together with the annual Hideout Block Party and the Pitchfork Music Festival, Riot Fest is one of the best independently produced celebrations of cutting-edge rock music in the U.S. -- and a welcome reminder that mega-bucks corporate sponsorships ala Lollapalooza aren't the only way to fund a festival. Tickets for this year's concert go on sale at 8 a.m. on April 24 via www.riotfest.org .

Brewmaster Dave writes:
Last August at Warped Tour, 5000 copies of Punk Rock Concoction Volume 1 were thrown out to the crowd as Bad Religion and Pennywise played. The first volume had 26 punk rock bands, mostly unsigned, but all talented. The first volume received so much good feedback that a second volume was in order. Punk Rock Concoction Volume 2 was released in March, 2008. It also has mostly unsigned punk rock bands, mostly residing in southern California, but includes a few bands from Arizona, Oregon, Georgia, Canada, and Japan. Volume 2, like volume 1 is still free. It has some of the best bands from the area on it and is 75 minutes long. Volume 2 features bands such as Hit the Switch, Voodoo Glow Skulls, Chaser, and Pour Habit. This could be the making for a more modern and free version of the old Epitaph Punk-O-Rama compilations.

Could is the key word there. Ok, I'll put up the link www.myspace.com/punkrockconcoction

OK, I know this isn't exactly new news, but I've been pretty out of everything for a while.

The bands, Teenage Rehab and the Legendary punks, Moral Crux and Pink Lincolns have been confirmed for co-headline slots at this years Insubordination fest.

The fest is a two day event on the dates of June 26-27. The Queers will be the main headliner this year.

This news arrives right on the tail of new releases from all three bands. Teenage Rehab who released an album on March 25th, Moral Crux who has their vinyl/cd release out April 29th and Pink Lincolns who are doing a couple of represses of some way out of print material, along with some new tracks.

All bands are a part of the Jailhouse! Records label, who is also one of the sponsers of the event. Check out www.poppunkbored.com, or www.Insubordinationfest.com for more information.

The album, called "Live Your Dreams" contains 11 hardcore punk rock anthems. Guest vocals were recorded with Jeff Breakdown, Buddha (Blood For Blood) and, off course, Dries (Second Chance).

Two of the songs have been posted on Harbour 81’s MySpace page, www.myspace.com/harbour81 | www.warbirdentertainment.com

This is COOL, even though I haven't read it yet.

from Behind the Velvet Rope (wherever that is)
Punk Rock music nowadays is everywhere, on the radio, television, commercials, the internet, and beyond. It's totally accesible and totally become as common as a loaf of Wonderbread. But is it real? Depends on who you ask. Some bands and more to the point, some MUSICIANS claim to be "Old Skool Punk Rock" but the reality is more like PUNK ROCK POSER. One of the most heralded returns of a well known OC Punk Rock band is turning up some interesting information lately regarding their 8th album. Having been well received by the industry and fans alike, this band's latest album which was just released last August, is by far and wide one of the best they have ever put out. Group effort? Almost. While those who were present at the recording of this band's latest album know that NOT EVERY MEMBER participated in the creation or recording of this album-THE FANS AND THE WORLD DON'T. Like the Johnny Rotten saying goes; "Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?" The truth is, that while there are 5 members in this band, only 4 of them actually had ANYTHING to do with the album's creation, writing, pre-production, and ultimately the recording of their album. Sadly and pathetically, the one who showboats the most at shows, rolling around on stage like a epileptic in the middle of a seizure, COULD NOT and DID NOT have anything to do with the creation or recording of his band's latest album. Why? Count not showing up for practice, not practicing at home, and essentially the inability to play music he claims to have "in his blood"-BOTTOM LINE: HE DIDN'T KNOW HOW. The truth IS stranger than fiction folks. Sometimes when you scratch surface, all you get is more surface. That is the case here. Next time you're at one of their shows, take a closer look. Clean the wax outta your ears and really listen carefully to this band member's playing. Is he hitting all the right chords? NOT EVEN CLOSE. Is he singing on key? Painfully, NO. Is he rolling around on the stage, winking and pointing at the audience like a beauty queen on a float at the Rose Parade? YOU BETCHA. While there are scheduled show dates booked for this band and with the prospect of going to Europe at hand, the general consensus of the other members of this OC PUNK ROCK band are that they would rather cancel all their gigs then have to play 1 more embarrassing show. When you are part of a team, that team is only as good as it's members-and this member is full of hot air. Egos can only take you so far. Eventually, you better have the substance to back up all the posturing and posing. Is this thing even on? YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST

Of particular note is that Joey will be recording a solo acoustic album for Bad Taste in the tradition of his Acoustic split with No Use for a Name's Tony Sly:

"I wanted to make an actual full-length solo record. I have since considered that split to be a bit of a cop-out. The songs were covers and I only had to record six. Also, I had everyone I know play on it. I play everything on the new one and I have recorded nearly twenty songs. It's been a huge undertaking and I feel it is officially my first."

The band will play their final two shows this weekend in Syracuse and Albany, NY. These dates, which also include regional ska/punk heavyweights The Fad, Stuck Lucky, the Flaming Tsunamis and the Brunt of It, will also serve as the band's official record release shows. Any copies of the album leftover from the shows will be made available online on April 13th through www.myspace.com/publicaccess . Information on these farewell shows is also available at the band's Myspace page.

Los Angeles California – Nerd Rock favorites Nerf Herder will be releasing their fourth album entitled “IV” on April 29th via their new deal with Oglio Records, distributed by Fontana/Universal. “IV” is produced by Angus Cooke (former The Ataris), owner of legendary Santa Barbara based Orange Whip Studios. Nerf Herder will tour to support “IV” which includes odes to cassettes, orange backpacks, golfshirts, orb clutching dragons, manatees, the awesomeness of Led Zeppelin, Santa Barbara, high school dances and later high school reunions all mixed with perhaps the album’s greatest secret ingredient, unrequited love.

The razor witted “IV” continues in the vein of the classic Nerf Herder of “Sorry”, “High Five Anxiety”, “Mr. Spock” and “Van Halen” fame, securing the band as one of melodic Geek Rock’s leading lights. Lev Grossman from Time Magazine’s “Nerd World” blog recently had not one but two Nerf Herder tracks in their Top 10 All Time Nerd-Pop and Nerdcore Songs. The new track “Led Zeppelin Rules” is an iTunes pre-release digital single, the non album “Affirmative Action” is an iTunes exclusive bonus track and the first official single from Nerf Herder “IV” is the lethally hummable pop masterpiece “WTC #7”. New music videos include “Oh Me, Oh My” and an animated video for “Manatee” by the brilliant Nathan Mazur (“Do You Like Waffles” from the Parry Gripp solo CD “For Those About To Shop, We Salute You”).

The band takes their name from a Star Wars Episode V The Empire Strikes Back reference — when Princess Leia insults Han Solo with "Why you stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf herder!”. They are also responsible for the Buffy The Vampire Slayer theme song and performed as the very last band to play show’s fictional venue during Buffy’s final season. Nerf Herder music can also be heard in the MLB 2K7 video game.

Nerf Herder is Parry Gripp, Charlie Dennis and Steve Sherlock. Linus of Hollywood will join the band for their 2008 live tour. Visit the Nerf Herder websites for tour dates and more.

Thanks Sidney... keep em coming.

In case you haven't heard, PunkRadioCast announced how proud they are about two major label bands (Thrice (Vagrant / Universal) and Say Anything (Sony)) will be performing live on their Internet radio station today. Sadder than that is that both bands will be playing accoustic set (boo!), and even sadder is the fact that PRC is literally flooding eveyone and their brother's inbox with the news.

Worst of all is they are also interviewing them (boo!)

So why am I writing about it? Good question becuase I just don't know!

Details:
The performance will only be available live on the PunkRadioCast stream. The events will kick off at 1 pm ET with the pre-show kick off party hosted by MP3J Diana (nice name).

I've really been out-of it lately, so a post about what's happening on No Idea seems appropriate.

They have a new Tim Version release "Decline of the Southern Gentleman", a Planes Mistaken for Stars CD/Double LP Vinyl "We Ride to Fight! The First Four Years" , and yet somethine else from Hot Water Music "Till the Wheels Fall Off" (will those guys EVER quit?)
Anyway, that's all I can muster out of this post except that you can listen to the new Tim Version album in its entirity at

To make up for NOT being able to order the band's new CD on their site, Minneapolis 3-piece punk band, Children 18:3 have announced a slew of tour dates in support of their upcoming self-titled T&N debut on February 26th. From the stuff I've heard these guys really rock (seriously)...so I'll even push the fact that you can get a free t-shirt when you pre-order the CD through Interpunk. Definitly check these guys out... they're actually punk rock in a big way.

They also posted a new song for Valentine's day on their myspace site http://www.myspace.com/children183, but don't let that make you all mushy and shit becuase they're still a great band. Wow, I can't remember the last time I said that about a new T&N band...

Medications are soldiering on as a duo and have a show booked in March in Washington at DC9.
Edie Sedgwick, aka Justin Moyer (Antelope, El Guapo, Supersystem) has recorded a new album which is being mixed by Ian MacKaye and should see the light of day in some form later in 2008. Edie Sedgwick has traditionally been a solo affair but has lately evolved into an ensemble featuring Melissa Quinley (Soccer Team), and Jason Hutto (The Aquarium) as regular contributors, and Chad Molter (Medications) and Amy Farina (The Evens) as revolving time keepers. Edie will be touring with Joe Lally in mid-February.
