Hardcore act Burning Empires (first announced in September) which features Stuart Ross, Kyle Johnson and Ryan Morgan of Misery Signals, Andy Hurley from Fall Out Boy and vocalist Matt Mixon, have announced their debut 7-inch.

The band describes the sound:

BE is a crusty hard-charging hardcore punk with nary a melodic or metal shred in site. The bulk of the songwriting is done by Ross and lyrics are by Morgan who handles vocals (unlike his guitar position in Misery Signals). Ross says of the band "musically I wanted to do a band in relation to Misery Signals, a more punky hardcore version of what we were doing influenced by bands like Propaghandi, Comeback Kid and Cursed.

The band has a MySpace page and will be releasing their debut 7-inch November 10th via their own FC Records.

Lemmy Kilmister of Motörhead and Dave Lombardo of Slayer recently collaborated on a cover of the classic song, "Stand By Me." The song appears on the soundtrack to the new Flip Skateboards film, Extremely Sorry, created by the producer, Baron, and released digitally this past Tuesday.

"The Suicide Machines" have announced a two shows on November 5th at the Old Miami in Detroit. The first show is all ages and the second is 21+.

Notice the 'air quotes' - We are doing this for fun only. No tours, etc. Whenever you see the name "Suicide Machines" in regards to Jay, Ryan, Rich, and Justin playing Suicide Machines songs, just think "Jay, Ryan, Rich, and Justin are partying. We should go." We're doing our best to revert to the mentality of 15-year-olds when it comes us playing. Let's be honest, things like this are way more fun at 15.

Both shows are for the legal defense fund of a local activist. You can click Read More for times, venues and support acts.
