PATENT PENDING has announced they will be playing the CMJ Marathon. It’s been a while since we’ve seen the Long Island group so we’re psyched to know that we’ll soon be able to put on our party pants and catch the P-Unit.

NJ post-hardcore band THURSDAY have inked a record deal with Epitaph Records.

Thursday frontman, Geoff Rickly had the following to say.

“One of our biggest concerns was that we find a situation where we could be free to just be Thursday. Epitaph have continually voiced their desire to help us become the band that WE have always wanted to be. It’s a great feeling to have a label encourage you to be more socially conscious and politically active. It’s a great feeling to have a label owner push you to explore the most experimental and challenging aspects of your band’s music instead of dissuading you. It’s a truly great feeling to be working with a label that all of our friends have had so many great experiences with.”

Thursday will still release their forthcoming split EP with Japanese band Envy on Temporary Residence this fall but the band is already planning on putting out their 5th studio album in the spring of 2009.

First up will be their album, Pull The Pin which comes out on September 9th.
