Demos from Against Me! to Be Released in July

Folk/punk rock four-piece Against Me! are joining back Fat Wreck Chords to release a demo album. It contains original recordings of demos for their second full length As the Eternal Cowboy from 2003. The Original Cowboy was recorded on July 15th, 2003 at Goldentone Studios in Gainesville, Florida, before their trip to Memphis' Ardent Studios where they taped the final album. Frontman Tom Gabel explains why the band decided to record in Memphis:

"Having already recorded our first full length album and two previous EPs with Rob at Goldentone, we wanted to do something different for our second full length. We specifically wanted to make an all analog recording with as few overdubs as possible which is what we could do at Ardent. With Rob McGregor coming along to produce, we wanted to make sure he was familiar with the songs, so we made this demo recording."

"Cavalier Eternal" is the only song from the Goldentone session that ended up on As the Eternal Cowboy because NOFX's Fat Mike preferred the demo version. Gabel explains:

"Recorded and mixed in only a couple of hours, The Original Cowboy was only meant to be a trial run, but, listening to it today, there’s a part of me that feels foolish for ever recording these songs a second time."

The demos, published under the name of The Original Cowboy, will be available in stores on July 7th, 2009 on CD, vinyl LP, iTunes and on limited color vinyl.

1. A Brief Yet Triumphant Introduction / Cliche Guevarra
2. Mutiny on the Electronic Bay
3. T.S.R
4. Rice and Bread
5. Cavalier Eternal
6. Unsubstantiated Rumors
7. Slurring the Rhythms
8. You Look Like I Need a Drink / Turn Those Clapping Hands into Angry Balled Fists

The Gainesville, Florida-based band had released As the Eternal Cowboy and their 2005 Searching for a Former Clarity on Fat Wreck, as well as their live album Americans Abroad!!! Against Me!!! Live in London!!! in 2006.

Randy Seeks for New Record Deal to Release Album by Summer

Swedish punk rockers Randy are currently seeking for a new contract with a record label. After their 2005 album Randy the Band, they have been dropped by Burning Heart Records. The new album should come out before the end of summer 2009. The album title and track listing are still unknown.

New Album for Set Your Goals Before the End of Summer

Pop/punk rock/melodic hardcore band Set Your Goals should be releasing a new album before the end of summer. On his blog, vocalist Matt Wilson announced an attempt of having the new, still untitled, album ready for July 21st, 2009. It is not mixed nor mastered yet as guests haven't recorded their tracks yet. The label is still unknown, but should be revealed at the end of the week. Wilson says:

"It's been 3 years since we recorded our last full length and this record is without a doubt ten times the record Mutiny! was for a variety of reasons. It's faster, less goofy, more complex both musically and lyrically, plus we've all gotten way better at our instruments and we had a lot more time in the studio to work on things until we were happy with them. The bar has been raised."

Two New Releases for NOFX

Legendary punk rockers NOFX will get busy during next weeks as they will launch two new releases. First, they kick things off with a DVD set of their 2008 TV show NOFX: Backstage Passport on March 17th and then, at the end of April, on the 28th to be exact, the 26-year-old Californian band will release its eleventh studio album entitled Coaster and produced by Bill Stevenson (of Descendents fame)... Is there any need to say it will be released on Fat Mike's Fat Wreck Chords label?
