The Anniversary to Release B-Sides Record

ozzfest-8-28-550.jpg

I don’t know about you, but I’m stoked. The Anniversary, one of the most underrated bands of this decade is set to independently release a B-Sides and rarities double CD.

Devil On Our Side includes 26 tracks, spanning the band’s entire career. Highlights include early demos, compilation and 7″ singles, and over a dozen previously unreleased tracks, including 2 songs intended for the never completed 3rd album. It’s kind of a big deal.

While you’re waiting for the mid- June release of the record why not familiarize yourself with the band by picking up their previous releases Designing a Nervous Breakdown and Your Majesty, or at least listen to them here.

  • One of them was an extra on the Lord of the Rings. The other one looks like an ogre librarian. Together they are Flight of the Conchords, and they leave Tenacious D quaking in their boots. Here’s the premeire of their video for “Ladies of the World,” available on Sub Pop records.

    Back on March 7th we tipped you off to a small taste of Death Cab’s newest single, and now you can hear the whole thing! Check out the music video below for their startling lengthy single “I Will Possess Your Heart.” It clocks in at about eight and a half minutes, but be patient. It pays off at about 4:41.

    Death Cab For Cutie “I Will Possess Your Heart”

    The album, Narrow Stairs, hits stores May 13th and will be DCFC’s sophomore release on Atlantic Records (7th album overall). If you’re itching to see em live, the boys from Washington will be hitting the road with a slew of dates from April through August. You can check em out here, but you better act quick if you want tix, cause some of the dates are already sold out.

  • Take Action
    Thirty-four shows in two months, and a thousand pounds of eyeliner and lip gloss; the seventh annual Sub City Take Action! tour recently came to its conclusion on 3/23. More than just an excuse to air out the vinyl vest and work on your best pout, the tour’s main goal is tour bring music fans together, teach them about the necessary and positive outcome of donating your time to good causes, and to help make a better world by introducing concepts of community activism. And, you know, TO EFFING RAWK.

    Here are some pretty rad stats about the 2008 tour:

    The Impact of the 2008 Take Action! Tour:
    -Over $75,000 raised for Do Something which helps young people make a positive difference in the world - based on 10% of ticket revenue and additional tour related fund raising.
    -Over 27,000 fans in 34 cities proved that the world can be made a better place one voice at a time
    -Nearly 7,000 copies of the Take Action Volume 7 Compilation already sold
    -Take Action Grants, empowered by the Hot Topic Foundation, MySpace Impact and Hopeless/Sub City Records, were awarded to 9 amazing young people who want to make change in their communities.

    As we’ve discovered, the tour’s headliner Every Time I Die certainly bring the rock music, but I didnt’ know they actually care as well. Awwww…… Along with From First To Last, The Bled, August Burns Red, and The Human Abstract, the tour was by all accounts a rousing success. Cheers to Louis Posen and company, here’s to building positive change, a pair of ears at a time.
