French screamo band Sed Non Satiata has posted a new song on their website. It is yet to be seen if the new song, titled 'Les colonnes de soie', is part of their next LP announced as "coming soon".
http://www.sednonsatiata.com/site.html
In a recent post from Tomas Kalnoky, he stated that Streetlight Manifesto have run into opposition from a certain record label regarding their 99 Songs of the Revolution project.
"We can't announce the release date because we don't know when it is. What we can say is this: some record labels (not naming names here, so it can't be "libel") are just plain horrendous. Seriously though, it's a sad fact that the bullshit bands have to put up with from some labels isn't worth the benefits (ha!) of being on said labels. That being said, it looks like Volume One will be released on vinyl via the Pentimento Music Company long before it comes out on CD or digitally."

Guitarist Teppei Teranishi has dropped off Thrice's US tour temporarily due to a family
emergency. Thrice have enlisted friends to learn a couple songs each to fill in for Teppei.
The band has stated:
"I’ll get the bad news out of the way first.
Teppei had to leave the tour last night due to a family emergency, and will not be playing
with us for the next few shows (and possibly the rest of the tour.) We fully understand and
support his decision to do so, and hope that you’ll be understanding as well. He started
this tour knowing that this would be a possibility, and toughed it out for as long as he
possibly could. Please send as many positive thoughts as you can muster in his, and his
family’s direction.
The good news is that we have a few friends out here on tour who have stepped up, learned a
few songs a piece, and will be joining us on stage to enable us to get through ...more

I'd love to [tour and record again]. It would be the coolest thing in the world. [The Jimmy Fallon performance is] a safe way of seeing if it's still fun to play together, or get back together.

We wrote and recorded these songs specifically for an ep release after ox was already done and delivered to Relapse for production. We continued our americana theme and expanded them on these songs, therefore wanted them to be considered part of the 2009 ox sessions."
