Epitaph Records

Guitar Hero: World Tour has added three of Epitaph Records' most important bands in a new track pack. The set, available now on XBOX360 and PS3, features NOFX's "Linoleum" from Punk In Drublic, Rancid's "Ruby Soho" from ... And Out Come The Wolves and Bad Religion's "21st Century Digital Boy" which is presumably the Against the Grain version, not the Stranger Than Fiction version since this is the "Epitaph" track pack.

Evergreen Terrace drummer Kyle Mims injured in bike accident
Posted by aubin on Friday, July 3, 2009 at 6:00 PM (EDT)
Metal Blade Records

Evergreen Terrace drummer Kyle Mims was injured in a bike accident on Wednesday. The band posted this update:

After yesterday's practice, Kyle (drummer) was in a horrific bike accident. He was rushed to the emergency room and released late last night full of stitches and a broken clavicle (collar bone). Unfortunately he will have to have surgery and physical therapy for the next 4-8 weeks. So for obvious reasons he will not be with us on our upcoming headlining shows or the Summer Slob tour with The Acacia Strain.

The band's next album, Almost Home is due out this year.
