"Beggars" Available on iTunes August 11th

In an attempt to contain last week's leak of Thrice's Beggars, Vagrant Records will be releasing the album exclusively on iTunes on August 11th, two months earlier than planned. The physical version of Thrice's seventh album is still set to be released on October 13th, but with bonus material.

Thrice Putting Out New Album This Fall

Dustin Kensrue, singer and guitarist from art rock/post-hardcore band Thrice, announced on the band's blog that they would be putting out a new album this autumn, probably in October.

"Hey everyone. All the tracking is finished for the new record. Though it still needs to be mixed and mastered. To everyone who is hoping for it to come out next month now, I’m sorry to disappoint you, but there is a lengthy process still ahead with production, sending out copies to press, shipping, etc. You have to send to press about 3 months early because that is how early they put together the issues. Sooo, the record will be out in early Octoberish.
Gonna start Warped practice on Monday. Hope to see some of you soon.
DK"

The new album, Beggars, should be released on Vagrant Records just like their latest concept album The Alchemy Index Vols. I & II and Vols. III & IV.

New Single from Upcoming Alexisonfire Album

"Young Cardinals", the first single from Old Crows / Young Cardinals, the next album from St. Catharines, Ontario-based post-hardcore band Alexisonfire is up for streaming on IMEEM Music (embedded below). The album is scheduled to be released June 23rd, 2009 on Vagrant Records in the US. It will be the first full-length album for Alexisonfire on Dine Alone Records for Canadian releases. This first single will be available for digital download on May 12th, 2009, but has already leaked on peer-to-peer sharing sites and torrents.

Alexisonfire Hits the Studio

According to the band's blog, Canadian five-piece band Alexisonfire are currently in Vancouver, British Columbia, in the studio, recording their fourth full-length album entitled Young Cardinals. This new album is scheduled to be released during summer 2009 on Distort Entertainment (in Canada) and on Vagrant Records (in the US). For the second time, AoF are working with Nick Blagona (of Deep Purple, Protest the Hero, Ten Second Epic, and a lot more... fame), who had produced their last album Crisis.

Interviewed by Chart Attack in January, George Petit revealed that this time, he would scream less and sing more... or scream less and shout more as he said.

This proves Internet rumours to be wrong about the band breaking up. This might be due to Dallas Green's very successful solo side-project City and Colour.

No official track listing of Young Cardinals has yet been provided, but it should include the following: "Born and Raised", "No Rest", "Young Cardinals", "No Police", "Two Sisters", "The Northern", "Fire" and "Hard Souls" which have been played during the last tour across Canada.
