BLINK 182 - GOING AWAY TO COLLEGE

 

Hold onto your hats, pop-punk fans, because the long wait for new Blink-182 music is almost over: the group has set the release of a new single for this Friday (July 15). According to a post on the group's Facebook page, the new track, "Up All Night," will premiere on Los Angeles radio station KROQ-FM at 7:30 a.m. PST/10:30 a.m. EST on Friday. The track will also be available on the band's website. "Up All Night" marks the first new song in eight years from the So-Cal trio, which split up in 2005 before reuniting in 2009. We still haven't been given a solid release date but one is expected next week!

Some more big news out of the Weezer camp today. The band has announced their very first Weezer Cruise. Here's the official details with some nice special guests: Taking to the ocean January 19-23, 2012, The Weezer Cruise is a music festival-at-sea curated by Weezer on the Carnival Destiny sailing from Miami to the island of Cozumel, off the coast of Mexico. Along with Weezer and 2,500 passengers, The Weezer Cruise will feature fifteen bands performing shows around the ship through the day and night, festival-style. Weezer will perform on the pool deck as the ship pulls out and then again in the indoor main theater.

VAN HALEN - HOT FOR TEACHER

 

Despite much secrecy, it does appear that a new Van Halen album is en route, and it may come sooner than later.  Producer/engineer Ross Hogarth told Ultimate-Guitar.com that he’s been in the studio with the band, and everything went well.  He revealed, “The whole Van Halen record has been recorded and we’re all excited.  We have just started mixing the record.  I’m really stoked about it, as it is the original band – Eddie and Alex – with Wolf playing bass and David Lee Roth singing.  It’s the killing side of Van Halen at the top of their game again with Diamond Dave, and the band on fire.”  No album title, tracks, or release date information has been revealed.

KISS are moving forward with their new record.  Guitarist Tommy Thayer tells LehighValleyLive.com, “It’s going phenomenally.  We’ve been in the studio for several weeks.  We’ve cut eight songs already.  I’ve heard Paul and Gene.  This is definitely some of the best stuff KISS has ever recorded.”  Thayer says while the idea with “Sonic Boom” was to create a classic KISS album, this next record adds for a little more variance.  He says, “I slowly wanted to put a little Tommy Thayer in there.  I think on this record, we’re taking it to the next step.  We’re spending a lot of time making sure it sounds like a great KISS record.”
