Anywhere, the project from Cedric Bixler Zavala (The Mars Volta, At The Drive-In), Christian Eric Beaulieu (Triclops, Liquid Indian) and Mike Watt (The Stooges, fIREHOSE, Minutemen) have announced a "wide" release of their previously limited self-titled debut. Only 500 copies of the album were made available for Record Store Day but ATP Recordings is planning a wide release on June 4, 2012.

The label described the release:

The music captured on this material is an ethereal, resonant execution of what could be described as eastern acoustic punk. Likened to the voyeurism of Sandy Bull, Sir Richard Bishop, or Jack Rose style raga's reinterpreted at times with Drive Like Jehu, Minutemen punk velocity, other moments emotionally spiraling toward a haunting, ethereal beauty akin to Vashti Bunyan lost in the desert of a desolate western.

Having just wrapped up a tour with Joyce Manor and Andrew Jackson Jihad, Chicago psych-punk outfit Treasure Fleet have released their debut on Recess Records.

They've posted two songs from the Cocamotion, and you can find them here: "Vice" and "High on a Bicycle."

Brooklyn's The National have recorded a song for the Season 2 Game of Thrones soundtrack. Titled "The Rains of Castamere," the song is inspired by George R.R. Martin's beloved A Song of Ice and Fire series tells the story of Lord Tywin Lannister's brutal victory over the House Reyne of Castamere. As you might expect, the song eschews modern instrumentation in order to better fit in the medieval era of the novels.

In a new interview, Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman addresses a frequent band request for the annual touring festival. Apparently one of the most frequently requested acts for the tour is Blink 182 who last performed on the tour in 2001 but also previously headlined or participated in 1996, 1997, and 1999. Lyman explained the problem:

Everyone always says, 'Bring Blink!' Just as a sheer economics project, think about what Blink-182 would cost and what you'd pay for a Blink-182 ticket compared to a Warped Tour ticket. It doesn't work economically for Blink. They're always welcome to come back. The door is never shut for anyone, but they've just gotta figure out how to come be part of it and still make it work for that $40 ticket at the door.

Angels and Airwaves have posted their video for "Surrender." The song comes from LOVE, Part 2 and the video itself was directed by William Eubank, who also directed the LOVE film. The video also includes a guest appearance by Evan Glodell and the car from his film, Bellflower, which was awesome.
