PRE-ORDER: Mitch Hedberg :: Do You Believe In Gosh?

Comedy Central Records will release the late, great comedian, MITCH HEDBERG’s third comedy album on September 9th.

The material on the album, Do You Believe In Gosh? was recorded 2 months prior to the comedian’s untimely death of a drug overdose in March 2005. He was posthumously dubbed “Comedy’s Kurt Cobain” in a profile by Entertainment Weekly; raising the saddest part of all - in death, Hedberg became more popular than ever. (more…)

We’ve been getting updates on the new CLUTCH album so often as of late, for some reason we forgot to mention them all to you. Here’s an attempt to get everything in at once.

The band will release a DVD and CD on August 12th. They are the audio and video recordings of 4 live shows around the end of 2007/early 2008. The releases called Full Fathom Five, have slightly different tracklistings and will only be available on tour dates and from Merch.com

PRE-ORDER: Clutch :: Full Fathom Five
ECARD: Clutch :: Full Fathom Five

Last week we posted an Mp3 of a live version of “Texan Book Of The Dead”. (more…)

Everyone loves free stuff right? Right. We’ve been pumped on the fact there’s a new album from THE STILLS coming out in the next few weeks. Not only is the new album in the running for favorite album art of the year, but the music itself is pretty boss as well.

Starting today, you can pre-order their album, Oceans Will Rise on iTunes and get a bonus track to download as well. As always, cool marketing technique but reading the iTunes reaction to hearing the new music is even more impressive.

They said - “Upon first listen of the Stills’ new album, we were overcome by the epic sound and ever poignant songwriting that this band has delivered repeatedly, and this time in full force. “Being Here” was recently featured as our ‘Single Of The Week’, and instantly became a new favourite on our iPods.”

In their heyday, it wouldn’t be weird to see these two frontmen’s bands hit the road together. So it seems fitting that years later, MATT PRYOR (The Get Up Kids, The New Amsterdams) and Chris Conley (Saves The Day) would be taking their acoustic shows and hitting the road together for a co-headlining tour.

Pryor will be releasing his first solo album, Confidence Man this summer on Vagrant (stream a few tracks on his Myspace page). Pryor has also had a limited number of tickets held for sale through his fan pre-sale. Beginning today you can get yourself some tickets to the show. Y

PRE-ORDER: Murder By Death :: Red Of Tooth And Claw

MURDER BY DEATH’S upcoming album, Red Of Tooth And Claw is easily one of our most anticipated records of 2008. We’ve already been listening a bit too much since we got an early copy in the office. We can tell you that it’s going to blow some minds! Rather than tease you all by telling you how awesome it is, Vagrant made their first single, “Fuego” available for you to download. Thank you Vagrant!

The band also has a pre-sale happening for the album. If you order the cd, you can score a t-shirt. It’s also available on vinyl. Either way, the artwork shows wolves fighting and some skulls on octopi, so we all win!

FLOGGING MOLLY’S new studio album Float will be in stores on March 4th via SideOneDummy Records. Right now, this very moment, you can pre-order the album via the S1D webstore and get a free Flogging Molly T-Shirt along with the album. Sweet!

You can catch Flogging Molly on this year’s Green 17 Tour with openers The Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band and at Coachella.

You can see Float album art and get tour dates after the jump. (more…)

MURDER BY DEATH have more updates on their upcoming 4th studio album, Red Of Tooth And Claw. We already know the new album will be released on March 4th via Vagrant Records. Now we have some more updates.

1 - The album’s art has been released, peep it now. It has dancing wolves on it making it pretty much the awesomest thing we’ve ever seen.

2 - A new track from the album, “Fuego” has been posted on their myspace page. Go listen…now! Shit’s hotter than a tin roof in the Alabama summer.

3 - You can pre-order Red Of Tooth And Claw on blue vinyl now! Somewhere, off in the darkness of some midwestern ghost town, there’s a skeleton wearing a holster full of guns, shedding a tear for justice.

All these updates are amazing! It’s kinda like the band held a meeting and asked each other, “Hey what are things we can to make Matt’s head explode? Okay, lets do all of them just to be sure our bases are covered.”

SABOT PRODUCTIONS are having a pre-sale. Since the label is releasing the highly anticipated (at least by us) EP by THE GASLIGHT ANTHEM we thought we would take this time to once again profess our love for the Jersey sons.

The EP was recorded during the band’s downtime in Austin, TX while on tour last year. We’re excited about the fact that we’re getting new music from the band since it will be a while until the new LP and we needed a fix. So pick that thing up, it’s money well spent. Also while there, they have dual 7-inches of the new album on pre-sale as well. That should get all those collecters out there in good spirits.
