The full-length debut from Get Him, Eat Him will be released on Absolutely Kosher this August 2nd. The disc, entitled Geography Cones hasn't had the tracklisting revealed so you'll just have to wait.. in the meantime you can read about the bands obsession with sandwiches.
The forthcoming At The Drive-In retrospective, This Station Is Non-Operational, that we told you about is still set for a May 24th but Fearless Records wants to make sure you are excited about it. So, check out this minisite to get pumped and pre-order the disc.
Queens of the Stone Age will be performing on Saturday Night Live this week (guest host Will Ferrel). My fingers are crossed for "Feel Good Hit Of The Summer" but it will likely be "Little Sister" from their recently released Lullabies To Paralyze.

Not to be a nay-sayer but the reports that Death From Above 1979 are preparing three new albums sounds a bit dubious. The first album will be the straight ahead follow-up to You're A Woman, I'm A Machine; the second a revisiting of the album with a fully fleshed out band; and the third a remixed version (with help from Girls Are Short) possibly featuring some female vocals. If and when this happens I will gladly eat my words. Initial recordings begin in June when the band finishes up their studio.
Starting in mid-July you'll be able to see Kings of Leon on tour with The Secret Machines throughout North America. Check the more for dates....

The tracklisting for the forthcoming 30 Seconds To Mars disc, A Beautiful Lie, has been announced. Look for the release on August 16th.
The upcoming Dredg release, Catch Without Arms will apparently be part of the Universal Records JumpStart program. What does this mean for you? A retail price set much lower than normal in hopes to expose the band to a wider audience based purely on saving a few dollars. Look for it June 21st.

Interpol have released a variety of singles for "C'mere" off their latest release, Antics. The interesting part about these singles is that each release features a remix of a different Interpol song by an individual member of the band. Results vary but it's a good concept.
