None More Black is awaiting the release of This Is Satire, their first full length in three years. They plan on hitting the road hard. Having toured the U.S., Canada and Europe in the past, they are anxious to pick up where they left off.

You probably know this much already: Teenage Bottlerocket (or simply “TBR” to their fans) is currently one of the hottest bands in punk rock and their new record, They Came From The Shadows, is highly-anticipated. But before we go any further you should probably know that they’re from Wyoming. Crazy, huh? Although more famous for its frontier forts and characters like Butch Cassidy, the “Front Range” (as it’s known to the locals) may very well be the unlikely home to the next great punk rock band. At least that’s what the kids are sayin’. But don’t take our word for it, even Alternative Press featured them as a “Band You Need To Know in 2009”… and they don’t even have those Jennifer Aniston haircuts!

Smoke or Fire is back after a tour of the world, a lineup change and months spent working on their sophomore full-length, This Sinking Ship. The band has always kept their fans alert over the years, but things are more concrete than ever for Smoke or Fire and their sound remains true. Clearly influenced by predecessors like Hot Water Music and Avail, these young upstarts also blend in some additional elements of Americana with their hints of The Replacements and Springsteen.

While many of today’s so-called punk acts aspire to be celebrities and tastemakers, Dead To Me are content with the simple pleasures of making great music with friends, living on the road and sharing their love with people all over the world. In other words, they’ve already made it—and everything that happens from here on out is just a bonus. “It depends on what your definition of success is,” Nathan responds when asked about his goals for the band. “Music is a full-time gig,” he summarizes. “If you are obsessed like we are there is no vacation from the mind… and music is always on my mind.”

Punk rock used to be about haggard road warriors. Before all the breakdowns and flat irons, there were busted transmissions and collect calls home. The Flatliners grew up believing in the later and rejecting the former, and after seven years playing together, they’re unleashing Cavalcade, their third full-length record and an epic sonic testament to the life they’ve chosen.
