Post-hardcore band Rise Against released their follow up to "The Sufferer and The Witness" this past Tuesday.  The album entitled "Appeal To Reason" is the bands fifth full length release and yet again shows a band that keeps growing with every release they put out.  We live in a world where amazing bands get signed to major labels and then water down everything they put out.  This is not the case with Rise Against, Three major label albums in and the band still stays true to their convictions.  Be sure to pick up "Appeal To Reason" you will not be disappointed.  Rise Against is also on tour in support of the new album with Alkaline Trio and Thrice.  Check out the dates as well as some of the new tracks at the their Myspace here.

Bella Morte, The Goth Punk band from Virgina released a new album yesterday, the album is titled "Beautiful Death" which translates in Italian to Bella Morte.  I had never heard of them until I went to see Gorgeous Frankenstein at the Glasshouse back in August. I was able to catch a few of the opening acts, Bella Morte being one of them.  From the first song I was hooked, the stage presence was energetic and the songs were something I had been longing for.  I immediately picked up there latest album at the time "Bleed the Grey Sky Black" and counted the days till the release of "Beautiful Death."  The new album mixes elements of Goth Rock, Punk Rock and Industrial  Be sure to check it out, you can hear a few songs off of it at Bella Mortes Myspace here.

"Life Is Not a Waiting Room,"  The third full length album from Jersey Screamo band Senses Fail hit stores today.  This release shows a more aggressive side of Senses Fail with a heavy reminiscence of their first EP, "From The Depths Of Dreams," while also maintaining a more poppy feel in some of the songs as well.  Having been a Senses Fail fan for about six years now, I must say that this album exceeds what I expected from it by far.  You can pick the album up at Best Buy for $9.99 or on Itunes for the same price. I  would recommend purchasing it through Itunes because you get three bonus tracks.  Senses Fail is also currently on tour in support of the new release and will be playing at The Glasshouse in Pomona on October 26th.  Tickets for the show are $18 dollars at The Glasshouse Record Store and I believe there are still some available.

A compilation came out not to long ago entitled "Nightmare Revisited" which had various Nightmare Before Christmas songs covered by different artists, for example: Marilyn Manson covered "This Is Halloween" and Plain White T's covered "Poor Jack."  Well apparently Tiger Army recorded their own version of "Oogie Boogies Song," however, it did not make the album and was never released until now.  Itunes and Amazon have put Tiger Army's' version online for only .99 cents.

Last night I went to see the Dandy Warhols perform at the Wiltern in Los Angeles.  I missed the first opening act but was able to catch the second one, which  was a noise rock band by the name of A Place To Bury Strangers.  Their complete set was an amazing clash of smoke, noise and monotonous vocals.  Shortly after A Place to Bury Strangers finished their set, the room dimmed, four silhouettes came onto the stage and the lights flashed on revealing The Dandy Warhols.  They played for about an hour an half, combining their old hits with some new tracks of off their latest release entitled "...Earth To The Dandy Warhols..."  Their live performance was energetic when the songs were rockin and soothing when they played their more mellow hits.  Overall it was a great show and I would recommend seeing them next time their in town.  Their new album is really good and can be picked up at your local record store or on Itunes.  If you've never heard of The Dandy Warhols you can check them out on Myspace here.  Also, be sure to check out A Place To Bury Strangers on Myspace here.

New York pop-punk band Bayside released their fourth album last Tuesday.  "Shudder" is the name and this time around, Bayside has a more punk feel to their new tracks.  The harmonies and melancholic lyrics are presented with an anthemic structure, giving the listener a poppy feel to the bands painful meanings.  Overall, being a fan of Bayside for the past five years I have always loved their sound but the growth they have encountered since their 2007 release is something everyone should hear.  I highly recommend picking this one up. You can get the album, a live CD entitled "Live at the Bayside Club" and exclusive hoodie for $35 through there labels website here  or you can pick it up at your local Best Buy for $9.99.  Also Bayside is currently on tour and playing at the Glasshouse on Wednesday, October 22nd.  Tickets are being sold at the glass house record store for the very low price of $15.  Hope to see you their!
