Red Scare has announced plans to distribute the new EP from The Isotopes. The label explained:
It's hilarious, upbeat, and catchy baseball-themed pop-punk. Like the Hanson Brothers...but for Americans! They released the "Heatseeker EP" on their own and we are welcoming them to the Red Scare family by distributing this EP on iTunes and other digital retailers. I know Red Scare is known for being a buncha godless commies but even WE like fun times and baseball. We're pretty sure you'll enjoy this stuff too, so scamper over to iTunes and check out this EP. We'll leave the baseball puns to them, they're way better at it.

Love it or hate it, for the past 15 years, summer has meant a return of the Vans Warped Tour. As the tour continues to grow in size and scope it has brought in new fans and alienated others. Punknews decided to get the scoop on what to expect on this year's Warped Tour by heading to Pomona, California to check out the first date of Warped Tour 2009.
I have officially quit Every Time I Die due to personal conflicts. I feel like im getting myself out of an uncomfortable, unhealthy situation, and its for the best for everyone, and im ready to move on with my life. I still plan to play and be involved in music and am looking for a new project to persue. This is a new exciting chapter in my life and hope anyone who has enjoyed me as a person/drummer in this band for the last 11 years, sticks with me for whatever endeavor the future brings me.
The band's next record is titled New Junk Aesthetic and is due out September 15, 2009. A song from the album is available here.

Slayer recently spoke to Billboard about their forthcoming album, World Painted Blood, and what can be expected from the new material. The group finished 13 tracks -- six by King, seven by fellow guitarist Jeff Hanneman -- 11 of which will appear on the album.
I like when Jeff writes as much as he did for this record. When you have one guy doing most of the writing you only get one perspective. A lot of Jeff's stuff has a very punky vibe this time; the stuff I write sounds thrashy but with a hint of punk, and when Jeff writes the stuff is more punk with a hint of thrash. It works together well.
Song titles include "Beauty Through Order," "Unit 731," "Playing with Dolls," "Public Display of Dismemberment," "Americon" and the title track.
