Canadian pop-punk mainstays Chief State have announced their new full-length album, Keep Your Friends Closer, due out April 17 via Mutant League Records. Alongside the announcement, the band has released the album’s title track as a new single, complete with an accompanying music video.

Rising screamo revivalists, Knumears, recently joined Run For Cover Records and Summer Shade (the RFC imprint spearheaded by Fury's Madison Woodward), and today the Los Angeles based three-piece have announced their debut album, Directions. 

Semi Famous began as a fictional band in John “Jughead” Pierson’s novel Weasels In A Box. At the suggestion of Rarebird Publishing’s Tyson Cornell, Jughead decided to make the band real, joining forces with Ryan Rockwell of Mixtapes and Billy Brown, a veteran of 1990s hardcore bands including Crash & Burn. That lineup recorded the 7-inch EP Collective Mindlessness, sparking a collaboration that quickly grew beyond its original scope.

Death Lens might be the perfect punk band for the moment: four working class, multicultural musicians from Southern California who write stage-dive anthems for the oppressed, wielding a message of resilience and a sound of sweat-soaked celebration that appeals to outsiders of all stripes. They have just announced their new album titled What’s Left Now? due for release on April 24th.

With 'Riot Inside My Head', No Gimmick will be releasing their first new album in over a decade. The Phoenix area punks have been ripping off 90s punk since 1996 and see no reason to stop doing so now.

Dropkick Murphys have announced they’ll release a 12” vinyl split LP with recent tourmates Haywire titled New England Forever. The Boston-based bands--who got to know each other while touring Europe together last fall--each recorded three original songs as well as a cover version of one of each other’s songs for the 8-song LP. Haywire recorded Dropkick Murphys’ “The Boys Are Back” and Dropkick Murphys recorded Haywire’s “Always By My Side.”

POISON THE WELL released the definitive album The Opposite of December... A Season of Separation in December 1999 and it went on to become a benchmark of the genre that has inspired a generation of bands. But the band is not content to rest on the laurels of its past achievements and announced the March 20 release of PEACE IN PLACE, their first album in 16 years.
