French-Canadian melodic punks Down Memory Lane are now streaming their new, sort,-of EP, Release via Thousand Islands Records. The EP consists of six songs which are part of what the band is referring to as a "conceptual EP release" or, the be more clear, it is actually the back half of a 12-song album, with the first six songs due out early next year (on the album's Bandcamp page, those first six tracks are each currently occupied by the same short "recorded message" informing the listener that the tracks are forthcoming).
DML's most recent release was the 2017 French language-only EP Vice Caché , also on Thousand Islands.
Punknews will keep you informed on the further details of this album as they become available but, in the meantime, you can check out the first of the released tracks "The Song About This Song" below.

Today, Punknews is excited to debut the new single by Jr Juggernaut!
On "X-mas" for everyone, the band takes a decidedly refreshing look at the Holiday. Instead of regurgitating some cheesy pop-punk version of a standard, and instead of doing the knee-jerk punk reaction and saying "Christmas is stupid!", the band argues that the Holiday's core values are caring and compassion. They then argue that the Religious aspect is nearly arbitrary and that the Holiday should be a time of good cheer for all.
The band's Mike Williamson spoke to Punknews about the single: ""Xmas is for Everyone' is an original song I wrote about the ubiquity of the holiday, and how I feel it's a great time to bring people together - regardless of their beliefs. The B-Side of the single is a fuzzed out deconstruction of 'Silent Night', complete with audio clips from an infamous movie monologue in my favorite Christmas movie."
You can pick up the digital version of the single here, an extremely limited lathe cut will be released Black Friday, and you can hear the whole thing below, right now!

Today, we are THRILLED to debut the new album by Crazy and the Brains!
Into the Ugly is out next Friday and straight up, it is the band's best album yet. They're still anchored by the earliest New York punk rock- some New York Dolls licks here, some Patti Smith surrealism there, and and some straight up Ramones-style smashing everywhere. But, the new release really does feel like a breakthrough. While they've always reveled in a freewheeling John Waters-meets-Richard Hell aesthetic, the new album finds them keeping that shell intact while diving deeper down. There are moments on Into the Ugly where the band pulls back on their rampaging xylophone charge and reveal a sensitive, perhaps melancholy core- and these moments are truly moving. And of course, they still maintain their other ideal which is furious, flying, freaky weirdo punk rock. It's good, man.
You can pick up the new LP right here and hear the whole thing below, right now! (The band is also touring with Leftover Crack real soon, too).
