EL BRONX
Author: Andy13 Mar
Here’s some news that most of us (if you’re a fan of The Bronx) (and really, who isn’t?) (I mean, come on…its The BRONX) should know already:
The band has been planning on releasing two, count them, TWO records this year. One is more than likely gonna melt your face and beat your eardrums within an inch of your life (see albums The Bronx and The Bronx II for evidence of my hypothesis) and will probably be accompanied by some pretty insane videos (God DAMN I love their videos, links below…).
The other record is gonna be straight up mariachi. The band is bringing in two more musicians for the recording process on this particular album. Interestingly, with the addition of these members there are now three members of The Bronx who are sons of members of Los Lobos. Mariachi cred? I don’t know. I’ve never listened to Los Lobos, but it sounds like it could be accurate.
In the first major update to their Web site in quite some time, the band explained:
Today we start packing it in to the studio to begin work on 1 of 2 records. The first of which will be our mariachi record. 11 stellar tracks - highlights include “qualude quesadilla” & “if you build it, we will paint it.
They went on to say:
4 weeks later we pack it back up and move into our own studio that our kick ass record label got us. Big game lodge. To record 11 blast punk tracks. Both records should be released this summer worldwide. Double vinyl of both albums to follow. We are gonna try and do a studio blog or something. But we will prolly never get around to it, and blogs suck anyway.
DOUBLE VINYL?! Jesus Christ. Rad.
History’s Stranglers - Bunch of little badass kids rocking out
White Guilt - Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny get in a fight
They Will Kill Us All (Without Mercy) - Gangbanga roughin’ up LA
False Alarm - The band superimposed in an old horror film
Shitty Future - Live rocking out
One last thing: The Bronx remains the ONLY reason to go to the Warped Tour this year. Period. They don’t fuck around live.
From First to Last Are Probably Going to Be a Lot Busier in 2008 than You Will
Author: James17 Jan
Despite some lineup changes (the band welcomes new bass player Matt Manning to the fold, and group founder Matt Good reclaims his frontman duties) and some label drama, From First to Last are full speed ahead for 2008. On April 15th, the group will release its self-titled debut for their new label, Suretone Records. The album was produced by Josh Abraham, who has worked with bands such as Slayer, Velvet Revolver and 30 Seconds to Mars. The band will release exclusively to Hot Topic stores on Feb. 12th a two-song teaser CD that will feature “We All Turn Back To Dust” and “Once Was Lost But Now Profound,” both from the new album (those of you in Novi, MI, the group will play an in-store performance at the Hot Topic there on Feb. 13th). As for hitting the road in support, they’ll spend the summer traveling North America as a headlining act of the 2008 Warped Tour. In the meantime, however, you can check out From First to Last as a main act on the Take Action tour, which gets underway Feb. 14th in Detroit. FFTL will be on-board for all 34 dates. The whens and wheres of the Take Action tour can be found after the jump. (more…)

after 10 years of attending warped tour. i can say this was the last year i will ever go. 105 degrees in the sun (yeah, no shade!) and after having the flu the night before, warped tour was the worst thing i’ve experienced in a long time. but some how i took a few rad pictures in between consuming 5 gallons of water. i probably spent some where around $30 on those damn h20 bottles.

Warped Tour: Send In Your Questions Now
Author: spencer17 Aug
Hi. Most of the country has already had their taste of the summer-long advertising/music festival beloved to the unwashed mashes and known as The Vans Warped Tour. Well, it’s finally making its way back around to our parts, and it looks like I will be attending. This will be my first year attending Warped. I mean, I’ve written fascinating and well researched articles about it, but never made it down to the show. Besides, look at me:
Yeah, I’m rad, but it looks like I’d be more comfortable inside a dimly lit bar, swilling delicious canned beer, spitting ridiculous game. Well on Thursday, I’ll be hissing at the sun and watching mall rock galore, and I’ll probably have to interview a few bands with whom I’m not well acquainted. So I need your help, faithful and semi-literate Synthesis community.
These are some of the bands I might interview:
Sum 41
The Almost
The Matches
Killswitch Engage
Paramore
A Static Lullaby
Bad Religion
Bleed The Dream
Circa Survive
Coheed and Cambria
Cute is What We Aim For
Pennywise
While I’m down with Pennywise, Killswitch and Bad Religion (and think Circa Survive are the saviors of anything remotely emo), I don’t know jack shit about Cute is What We Aim For, or Paramore, or Bleed The Dream or whatever. Here’s where you come in:
WHAT SHOULD I ASK THEM? Please help me look like less of a douche and let me know the questions you would ask if you were in my shoes. Comment on this blog or send your questions to letters@synthesis.net.
I don’t want to look like my boy Dallas Von Killbot interviewing Three Inches of Blood.
The remaining handful of Warped Tour dates are listed after the jump.

Anyone Care for a Fucking Taste?
Author: Daniel Taylor24 Jan
I don’t know if maybe I just have shitty taste in music but I’m fucking jazzed about this year’s Taste of Chaos tour, which is like Warped Tour but with bands that scream a lot more and don’t have as cool of haircuts. Actually most of the bands headlining this year’s tour are anything but scene-cut tight pants-ers: the Deftones are all mostly all tubby bastards by now but still bring some shit; Thrice who are also mostly just chilled out dudes hanging back; and Story of the Year who are also just kind of tubby ass regular dudes (but still do the occasional guitar spin jump kick thing but whatever). Also, weird ass bands that aren’t really even all that metal like Dredg and Pelican are playing that shit this year, so no one can even talk shit. If you want tour dates and all the other bullshit, those fuckers just put up the new site here or you can just wait for the next issue of Synthesis fucking Magazine which contains a special Taste of Chaos section, with interviews with Thrice, Silverstein, Dredg, Atreyu and tour founder Kevin Lyman and all kinds of other sweet shit, bro.
