KROQ has posted the video of a recent interview with withFace To Face frontman Trever Keith. He was interviewed last month by Bamboozle, where his band shared the stage for the first time since their original break up in 2003. In that interview, Keith talks about his decision to reunite with his primary band, post-Face to Face projects, their farwell shows from 2004, his new solo album and whether Face to Face will reunite fulltime. He also hinted the possibility of writing and recording new material for what would be their first album since 2002's How To Ruin Everything.
KROQ is one of the few sites left that stills streams in Windows Media (instead of Flash) so you'll need that plugin to view the interview. You can check it out here.
The track is titled "Saw You Last Night" and is from a forthcoming seven inch titled The Middle Of The End. There are more details for the album available here.

Today we've got an exclusive stream of the debut full length from pop-punk outfit Lipona. The record is titled Atlas and is due out May 20, 2008. It is the follow-up to Urbi et Orbi which was released in 2007 and earned comparisons to "a less technical and ferocious A Wilhelm Scream and a less poppy Set Your Goals. Oh, and there's added touches of At the Drive-In, Ignite and Rise Against to complete the equation." in our review.

Like clockwork, Brian has posted the newest batch of reviews which includes a bunch of interesting stuff. He actually posted this yesterday, but I'm posting this now. I know it's not Tuesday any more, but I'm a rebel. Anyway, If you're counting, we're now up to 7,288 which, frankly speaking, is a lot of reviews.

The Chicago promoter law that would have made DIY shows very difficult has been shelved. The bill,
discussed last week was designed to rid the city of shady promoters but the strict rules would have had the side effect of making costs prohibitively high for legitimate independent promoters as well.
According to this SunTimes report, a "unprecedented outpouring of concern from the Chicago music community and a meeting with activists and some of the top concert promoters and venue owners in Chicago" led the City Council to not present the bill for a vote. The committee will go back to work on fine-tuning the law.
