Pop-punk group, Sum 41 is in the process of completing a new record and while doing so has decided to play a few shows. One of them being at The Glasshouse in Pomona.  The concert is being held on Sunday, March 29th and tickets are being offered for the very low price of $10.  You can get your tickets through Ticketmaster here, but you will end up paying more than just the ticket price.  I recommend heading down to The Glasshouse Record Store and purchasing your tickets there.  Tickets are selling quick so getting them soon is highly recommended. For more information on Sum 41, check out their Myspace here.

The Florida based hardcore guys from A Day To Remember released their latest album last Tuesday.  The album is entitled "Homesick" and was released through the popular post-hardcore label, Victory Records.  Alternative Press expressed A Day To Remembers latest release as "The most anticipated record of 2009" and if you have ever heard them before, then you know exactly why everyone is so amped on getting some new tunes from them.  As track one, "The Downfall of Us All", hits the first chorus, one can hear a resemblance to that of New Found Glory.  This improved anthemic pop-punk feel that is heard on the new album is due to the fact that Chad Gilbert (Guitarist for New Found Glory) produced it.  "Homesick" keeps true to the groups original sound but puts out a much more improved and produced version of it proving that teaming up with Gilbert was a very smart choice.  It is hard to pick out key songs to hear for the single reason that the entire album is ear worthy.  I highly recommend picking this one up as soon as possible.  It is available at most Best Buy locations for $9.99 or for the same price via Itunes.  A Day To Remember is also coming to the Glasshouse with The Devil Wears Prada on Friday, April 23rd.  Tickets are still available at the venue for $16 or for $19 the day of the show.  For more information on A Day To Remember, visit their Myspace here.

Lux Interior, The lead singer for the infamous Psychobilly (among other sounds) band The Cramps, passed away today due to a heart condition.  He was pronounced dead sometime this morning at Glendale Memorial Hospital in Glendale, Ca.  Lux and his wife/Cramps guitarists, Poison Ivy have been the only two permanent members in the Cramps history.  If your unfamiliar with The Cramps, they are widely known for being the first band to blend the punk sound with the rockabilly sound which then became known today as Psychobilly.  Lux will be missed by many, The Cramps and there heavily influence on punk music nor Lux himself will be forgotten. R.I.P. Lux Interior.
