A message from the band can be read below after the jump
We’re just gonna tell you everything at once because we’re friends and we just have to let it out. WE’RE DOING A HEADLINE TOUR AND DENNIS WILSON IS OUR NEW DRUMMER AND ALSO BOOM HERE’S A SONG OFF THE NEW RECORD. Yup.
This is our first headline tour in who knows how many years. We’ve been waiting for this. You’ve been waiting for this. Well… wait no more (just till September - but presale is available NOW)! We’re playing oldies, deep cuts, and lots of new jams from OUR NEW RECORD. You all have breathed a lot of life into this record, and we can’t wait to be in these rooms with you, singing the old and new songs together. We’re gonna lose our goddamn shit. You’ve seen some recent setlists making the rounds on the interweb - we’re gonna go even deeper. We’ll be joined by Into It. Over It. and Hostage Calm on all dates. We picked these bands because we like them and we like what they’re about. Know about them. Go on and say hi, they’re top blokes.
Speaking of Top Blokes, say hello to Dennis Wilson. You may have seen him play all of our 2013 shows with us so far. He’s already been initiated into our little pirate gang, he hits the sound-cylinders with power, and he digs Quicksand, Led Zeppelin, Elliott Smith, and Superchunk. He fits right in. Maybe you’ve seen him drum for EVERY AVENUE or THIS IS HELL? We’re keeping him now. Go on and welcome him into the family! @thedenniswilson.
Speaking of family, we’re excited to see all of you - you guys became part of this album and we’ve leaked some snippets and nuggets over the course of us making this thing. Finally, here’s a song we can share with you. It’s called #REMEMBER. Turn it up. Share it. Hug your friends. Take a picture of a dog. Do the gorilla. See you on tour! #PUNKTHEFUCKOUT
XOXO

This week’s 5 Albums that Influenced Me contribution comes from Will and Gary from Eager Teeth (their new album is out today!)
Will:
Phoenix – Alphabetical: First time I heard this I listened to it over and over for about a month… Slickest pop production with probably the tightest of musicians and just generally great songs.
Saves The Day – Can’t Slow Down: This record changed me for the better. Incredible.
Lifetime - Jerseys Best Dancers: Dan Yemin.
Jeff Buckley – Grace: Not much music really touches me, this gets me every time. “Last goodbye” is like watching “the notebook”and the first ten minutes of “up” in one.
Wu-tang Clan - 36 Chambers: I always related to this record growing up in the mean streets of Heathfield. Oh wait, I’m a middle class white boy. Anyway, it’s a great record. I have a c.r.e.a.m tattoo, true story.
Gary:
Misfits – Static Age: Pretty much all you need to know about punk. The Punk Bible.
Descendents – Everything Sucks: Okay, so this could be the punk bible too. But Static Age would be the Old Testament, and this would be the New Testament.
Phoenix – United: My favorite album of all time. A perfect pop record, simple and catchy yet rich in complexities and a severely understated tightness of rhythm that literally binds it together to something magnificent. I loathe using the term ‘groove’, but if there ever was a science of it Phoenix would be the masters. Too Young has appeared on every mix tape and cd I’ve made since 2001 (much to the annoyance of anyone who’s ever been in the car with me).
The Smiths – The Queen Is Dead: I’ve always been a big Smiths and Morrissey fan. This is what I would consider their crowning moment, gliding from eponymous crashing opener (The Queen Is Dead) to tender ballad (I Know It’s Over) to the pop masterpiece that is The Boy With The Thorn In His Side (my first ever tattoo, yaaaay).
The Pixies – Doolittle: In terms of rock albums, this one taught me that it’s okay to go against the grain completely and create something that is wildly varied but maintains a rawness about it that holds every track together cohesively. This album has its avant-garde moments and its heavy moments, but is also unashamedly poppy in places. Frank Black has always been a dab hand at drastic changes in volume, quiet… quiet… quiet…. LOUD! Quiet… etc.. See ‘Tame’ for a perfect example. And ‘Hey’ is one of my favorite songs about a knocking shop ever. Hell, it IS my favourite. It has sex noises in it.

Brooklyn’s beloved punk rock crew I Am the Avalanche have announced their long awaited return with one of the most anticipated albums in years, Avalanche United, due out October 11. The band has premiered the album’s first track, “Holy Fuck,” today at: http://www.rocksound.tv/features/article/exclusive-first-play-i-am-the-avalanche.
Avalanche United is the album I Am the Avalanche and their fans have been waiting on for over six years. The title “Avalanche United” also embodies the resilient spirit of this band, and their deep bonds with their families, friends and fans who have supported and sustained I Am The Avalanche through thick and thin.
"This band has a nervous energy, an urgency that each of us feel every second of our lives, and this album captures that,” says vocalist Vinnie Caruana. “We’re brothers, we’re family. The music we make together binds us together and gets us through all the hard times, together. I feel like all five of us will be able walk with less weight on our shoulders now that we’ve finished this album after years of writing and recording. And now it’s time to perform these songs everywhere, alongside some of my best friends."
Produced by the band, and executive produced and engineered by their prolific drummer Brett “The Ratt” Romnes and mixed by Machine (Fall Out Boy, Every Time I Die, Four Year Strong), Avalanche United is addictively melodic and blisteringly raw to its very core. Featuring 12 anthemic songs and absolutely zero filler, the album includes “Brooklyn Dodgers,” the defiant “Holy Fuck”, the epic and somber “Dead Friends” and “The Gravedigger’s Argument,” featuring Anthony Raneri from Bayside. Throughout, Caruana’s distinctive voice drips with defiance, humor and proud vulnerability as he sings about hope, heartbreak, death, defying adversity and the bonds between family, lovers and friends. Just seconds into your first listen of Avalanche United and it’ll be immediately clear that I Am the Avalanche are back with one of punk’s most powerful albums in years, unbroken and unbowed. I Am the Avalanche will be hitting the road this fall in support of Avalanche United with Saves the Day and Bayside for what is sure to be one of the most exciting tours of the year.
