For explosive single - "Gives You Hell"
The All-American Rejects have just premiered the video for explosive single “Gives You Hell” on Yahoo! Music. Directed by Marc Webb, the video was described by the band as a neighborly quarrel between two completely opposite households, the square versus the raucous rockers, both of which have front-man Tyson Ritter as the head of the house. The trials and tribulations between the Rockers and the Preps unfold as the video progresses with an unexpected ending.
For more Rejects fun, fans can now put their faces on Tyson, Nick, Chris and Mike at The All-American Rejects | Official Site! When The World Comes Down will be in stores December 16th.

Apocalypse Youth out now
LANTERNS rise triumphantly from the hollowed indie rock grounds of San Diego with Apocalypse Youth, a fiery collection of noisy pop songs. Beginning tomorrow, the band will take their show on the road for a quick West Coast swing in support of the new five-song EP. As the opening chords of distortion ring from Apocalypse Youth and the drums build to a sharp climax, there is a genuine feeling of excitement. The four young men of Lanterns do nothing to quell that anticipation across the EP's raging sound. The band washes its songs in waves of glorious feedback, yet buried right beneath the surface lay shards of penetrating melody. With anthemic guitars and powerful, thought-provoking lyrics, Lanterns is a beacon of hope in this crowded musical landscape. Imagine if you will And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead without all the pretension weighing them down.

Net proceeds from each iTunes sale will be distributed to cancer charities around the world through the Montreal-based band’s own Simple Plan Foundation
‘Save You’ was penned in tribute to lead singer Pierre Bouvier’s brother Jay, who was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma cancer at the age of 28.

Hinder just released their new album, Take it to the Limit. Produced by Brian Howes (Puddle of Mudd, Chris Cornell), the eleven song collection is packed with the kind of arena-ready guitar anthems that have the band constantly compared to bands like Def Leppard and Mötley Crüe. The band recently released “Without You” as a single and the power-ballad picks up where their 2006 breakthrough hit "Lips of an Angel" left off. The band’s debut album Extreme Behavior has gone on to sell over 3 million copies so anticipation is high for this one.

‘Polyp EP’ RELEASED 10th NOVEMBER 2008 on Blast First (petite)
Youthmovies are back to prove themselves once more as one the UK’s most interesting & musically diverse independent bands.
The dynamic and passionate delivery of their unique convergence of styles quickly established them one of the most respected underground bands in the UK. Their pioneering of highly contemporary, genre skewing music has its’ background in the disparate works of geographically related neighbours Radiohead and associated sound-world cousins, Battles.
Serving for many, the same touchstone commitment that Sonic Youth built in America and beyond in the 1980's, Youthmovies are, perhaps not surprisingly, also one of the most hardworking bands currently active in Britain.
From endless touring with the likes of Foals, Dead Meadow, Blood Red Shoes, Rolo Tomassi & 65daysofstatic... to playing as Saul Williams’ backing band… to regular improvisations, collaborations and live film soundtracks in venues as disparate as art galleries, theatres and forests... |

More than two years after New Brunswick hardcore titans Thursday first put the idea in their heads, Temporary Residence Ltd. is proud to finally bring together two influential bands from two very different places – Thursday and Japanese metal monolith Envy. Recorded in Spring 2008, both bands turn in some of their most inspired work yet. In addition, Thursday invited Anthony Molina of Mercury Rev to remix the dark instrumental “In Silence” into the pitch-black closing track, “Appeared And Was Gone,” providing the perfect transition into the massive dynamics of Envy. Beginning with the subtle electronics of the symphonic opener, “An Umbrella Fallen Into Fiction,” Envy thrashes and burns through a trio of thoughtful face-melters. To celebrate the album’s release, AOL Spinner is streaming the album in its entirety.
