Joel Faviere, the Lakeland, Florida vocalist who recently departed Get Scared, has recently signed with We Are Triumphant and released his free Christmas EP this past weekend. The EP entitled All Wrapped Up may be downloaded HERE and is Joel’s first release since his departure from Get Scared last month. In promotion for the Christmas EP, Joel had released “Mr Grinch” on YouTube. Joel will release his debut full length Dark Days on We Are Triumphant during the first quarter of 2013. While with Get Scared, Joel Faviere was featured on the 2012 Erik Ron (Panic! at the Disco, Allstar Weekend, Attaloss, Saosin) produced Built For Blame, Laced With Shame on Grey Area Records.
It Lies Within has just released their lyric video for the track “Thoughts Of Neveh” on YouTube. The song was previously exclusively premiered on Altpress.com earlier this year and is featured on the band’s blistering Luxor Records debut Chrysalis. Chrysalis was released in September and has received high praise from the media in the form of:
“Musically comprised of catchy hooks, raucous breakdowns, and meaty riffs, It Lies Within makes for a really fun listen.” OurStage
“The message of the album also carries a positive feel reminiscent of epic metalcore acts such as Killswitch Engage.” – Soundsphere
“A few things to make note of are the awesome guitar lead heard on ‘Find Your Truth’, the tapping on ‘Interlude’, and the entirety of the final track, ‘Now Or Never’” – Me Gusta Reviews
Los Angeles’ I Call You Legion is excited to announce that their self-titled EP will be digitally released on January 8th. Speaking about the release, Kaleb Allen had this to say, “I think listeners are going to really get an Underoath vibe from the EP on some songs, while others will have a slightly thrashier feel. Either way, we think people are really going to dig what we’ve done.” The band has recently released their lead single “Our Experience, That Is, Ourselves” on YouTube that showcases that Underoath vibe while also marrying it with a Sleeping With Sirens influence. Throughout the entire release the band also shows their gritty side with influences from The Chariot, Every Time I Die, and Stray From The Path all represented.
The self-titled EP was recorded at Think Sound Studios with Drew Fulk and Kyle Odell. Kaleb Allen went on to describe the recording process, “Drew Fulk and Kyle Odell really did a fantastic job on this album for us. It was such a stress-free and professional situation. We wouldn’t have wanted to do this album anywhere else. The guys seemed really stoked to have us there and on top of that, like we said, they just did a great job capturing the essence of what we feel is ‘I Call You Legion’.” After the self-titled release, fans should be expecting a ton of shows and a new single sometime late next year.
Acclaimed Los Angeles punk rock band The Bronx will release their long awaited fourth album, The Bronx (IV), on February 5, 2013 via White Drugs/ATO Records. In anticipation the band has released a new song, “Ribcage,” which is streaming now at http://soundcloud.com/thebronxxx/the-bronx-ribcage and available for download on iTunes and Amazon as well as on limited edition 7” vinyl, along with a previously unreleased b-side “Into The Black,” at http://thebronxxx.shop.musictoday.com.
For the better part of a decade, The Bronx have played provocateurs. From their beginnings as an attack-mode hardcore band to their hardscrabble lives as road warriors to the twist of fate that led to their alter ego Mariachi El Bronx — an episode that itself was an act of defiance — the Los Angeles quintet has embraced a fierce independence. As they prepare for the February 2013 release of their fourth rock album, one thing’s for certain: The Bronx have grown up, but they haven’t gone soft.
"This represents the highest evolution of the band, which is exactly how it should be be," vocalist Matt Caughthran says of the album fans inevitably will come to know as The Bronx (IV). "We’re the same guys, but we would never make the same record twice. And because of everything that’s happened with El Bronx, we’ve grown as musicians. And that’s why on this record you’ll hear that the songs are driving everything."
The Bronx burst on the scene in 2002 with music that recalled the heyday of L.A. punk — artillery-fire guitars and percussion punctuating anguished missives about the perils of street life and the frayed edges of society. Now the band (Caughthran, guitarists Joby J. Ford and Ken Horne, bassist Brad Magers and drummer Jorma Vik) frames its aggression in different and, yes, more sophisticated ways.
"We made an effort to trim the fat and focus the ideas a lot more," Ford explains. "It helped that we’re working in our own studio, with our friend (producer/engineer) Beau Burchell, and that we know what we want to do and how to get there very quickly."
The Bronx (IV) also reflects a certain musicality that the band acknowledges is a carryover from its work over two albums as a mariachi outfit. Mariachi El Bronx started as an act of rebellion in 2006 when the punk band took offense to being asked to do an acoustic performance and showed up in sombreros with a mariachi arrangement of the song “Dirty Leaves. Now El Bronx has taken on a life of its own, with its reverent, enthusiastic take on the genre winning fans worldwide.
"I think that after doing the mariachi records, it gave us a whole new outlook and a more structured way of writing music. We figured out what works best," Vik says. "Everything is less spazzy. Matt doesn’t scream as much, but he’s got that thing in his voice where he can scream in pitch — mariachi has helped his confidence as a singer and ours as songwriters."
Indeed, Caughthran admits, “I found that a lot of melodies crept in subliminally and I didn’t even realize it until later.” “Will both bands eventually encapsulate each other and become this horrible mariachi rock monster?” Ford says, laughing. “I wonder.”
Produced by Beau Burchell, The Bronx (IV) shows no overt sign of that. It does, however, seethe with band’s characteristic rage, even if that rebellion is not quite as youthful as it once was. The single “Youth Wasted” is Caughthran’s fearless look back “at a lot of the bad decisions I made,” he says. “I’d like to think that as a human being I have the best intentions and I’m a good person. Sometimes it doesn’t always work out that way.”
Call it another chapter of Bronx lore. For a band that survived two near-death experiences involving their tour van in their first 18 months, that weathered label problems that undermined albums No. 2 and 3 and that even made it through a mid-career summer on the Warped Tour, it’s all part of destiny that only occasionally feels in the Bronx’s hands.
"We made this record on our terms," Ford says. "We don’t have to rent a studio for a zillion dollars or pay some mega-producer to help us, because we’ve become self-reliant. It’s been a long road and we’re proud of it."
Road warriors as they are, The Bronx recently wrapped up a headline tour of the UK and Europe, and will head back out for select dates in the U.S., to be announced soon, before returning to the UK in February in support of the new album The Bronx (IV).

Gainesville punk rock band Hot Water Music has announced plans to release Live in Chicago on limited edition 3xLP and 2xCD+DVD on January 15 via No Idea Records. Fans are invited to pre-order Live in Chicago now at http://www.noidearecords.com/bands/releases/hwm_liveinchicagoLP.php.
Recorded at the Metro in Chicago on February 1-2, 2008, Live in Chicagoboasts explosive performances of classics and rarities spanning band’s celebrated twenty year career. The triple LP (with download code) includes 30 songs that clock in at 90 minutes from both nights at the Metro, and will be available on six different colors (Blue, Red, Yellow, Green, Purple and White), all of which are limited to 550 copies each. The double CD will include the same set of songs, plus an 80 minute, 24 song live DVD of the February 2 show, which features a few alternate versions, plus one song not found on the album.

The band is touring in support of their first album in eight years, Exister, which was released in May of 2012 on Rise Records. The album debuted on the Billboard Top 200 at #34, a career high for the band, and has been praised by fans and critics alike with Alternative Press stating it “serves as a reminder that the thousands of bands aping this style of punk will never be as great as Hot Water Music.”
