Here's a preview of Fall Out Boy's music video for "What a Catch, Donnie." The video will be premiering on MTV.com on August 6th.

Boys Like Girls released their music video for "Love Drunk" today. The song is off their upcoming album, Love Drunk, out September 8th.

Blink-182 called out Pete Wentz (Fall Out Boy) on stage last night for twittering during their performance.

 

 

Max Bemis tweeted last night that Say Anything will be releasing the first single, "Hate Everyone," off their upcoming self-titled album sometime in August. And if you missed the memo, Say Anything will be released on October 13th.

My Favorite Highway were recently featured on MTV.com as a "Buzzworthy" band.

To build hype for their next record, Angels and Airwaves is currently selling a t-shirt with the album title on it. Does it look familiar by the way? It might... because Tom has been wearing the shirt on stage on the current Blink-182 tour.

The Ataris is currently in the U.K. and supposed to be touring, but all current dates have been postponed. Virtual Festivals is reporting that one of the members is ill with Swine Flu.

 

According to Pete Wentz's Twitter, Fall Out Boy's music video for "What a Catch, Donnie" will premire on MTV sometime in the first week of August.

 

Ian Crawford (ex-The Cab) and Dallon Weekes (The Brobecks) will be joining Panic! at the Disco for their upcoming tour with Blink-182. Ian will be on guitar and Dallon on bass.

Streaming is a clip of Mayday Parade's upcoming new single, "The Silence." The song is off their upcoming full length, Anywhere But Here, out October 6th. The single will be available for purchase on August 11th via iTunes.

 

Gabe and Ryland of Cobra Starship recently sat down with Rock-it Radio to discuss their new album, "Hot mess."

Cartel will be headlining a nationwide tour this upcoming fall with support from This Providence, The Summer Set, and a few more yet to be determined bands. An official announcement will be made in a few weeks

 

NeverShoutNever performed a new song called "What Is Love?" a few weeks ago. The song is about his parents who are currently getting a divorce. The whole performance was taped for a live DVD that will be released soon.

According to these updates from Chris Carrabba's Twitter, we should (finally) be seeing a new album from Dashboard Confessional sometime in the near future.

I've teamed up with My Favorite Highway to give you a free download of their song "In My Heart" which is a b-side off their debut album, How to Call a Bluff. Click here to download the song (right click, save target as). If you haven't checked them out yet and like what you hear, visit their MySpace to hear more music from them! They'll also be touring all summer with The Cab and Hellogoodbye, so go see them when they come to a city near you!

I am a huge sucker for catchy pop-punk when the weather is hot. Streaming above is “Boy With The Microphone” from Action Item. The song is off their most recent EP, which can be purchased here. Want to know something cool? There is a remix by The Secret Handshake of the song streaming above also on the EP and it’s pretty darn good.

If you invest in your chest everyone earns interest.

I’ll be interviewing We The Kings this Saturday. If you have any questions you’d like to ask, email interview@supjustin.com .

All Time Low #4 on Billboard Charts: “Rock band All Time Low has its all-time high week as “Nothing Personal” enters at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 with 63,000. It’s the group’s best sales week and highest charting album. The Hopeless Records’ band took its last album, “So Wrong, It’s Right,” to No. 62 back in 2007.”

New Cartel song: AbsolutePunk is streaming Cartel’s new single, “Let’s Go.” I highly suggest you give it a spin.

Music Monday #12

Streaming above is something I loved when I was 16 and still do. Have you ever heard something and said “Why didn’t this guy/band get huge?” Well that’s what I think about every time I listen to Mark B. Above is “Bigger and Better Things” off his debut EP, Things Markb. Mark’s MySpace has been deleted and his PureVolume hasn’t been updated in years… so I don’t think he’s making music anymore. It’s a shame, this guy had talent.

Think outside of the box.

Where did the name Person L come from?
K: Well, I wanted to name the band Person L, like the word, based on the idea of having musicians come in and out; having a commune of musicians and not really having a set band. I was listening to Kid A (album by Radiohead) and I wanted to do something along the lines of representing a person and a letter.

Bringing out your different side of creativity with Person L, why not make the creative shift in The Starting Line?
K: I kind of tried to do that for a little bit and introduce all my influences in The Starting Line, but I quickly realized that there’s a place for all the influences and not necessarily all of them fit into what The Starting Line should be. It didn’t feel right and not all of the guys were into it and it was far be it for me to try to force the rest of the guys to like everything that I like. It was much easier to be cut and dry that this is what The Starting Line music is and everything else would go into this [Person L].

There’s a lot of bands out there that you have definitely inspired to be the band they are today, so what bands inspired you?
K: From an early age, Green Day and Nirvana. From there, Face to Face. Face to Face was probably the reason that I was in The Starting Line and made that music. Then it snowballed into Radiohead. Radiohead was my next big thing after that and then Battles and all sorts of other wacky stuff.

Being that Person L is really Do It Yourself, what kind of challenges have you come across?
K: Basically, just trying to fund the whole thing is the biggest challenge. You know, we didn’t really start with anything so we had to build from the ground up to put out the record. It’s hard to do it by yourself. There’s not much promotion that goes into it. A lot of people are like, ‘Wow, you just put out a record?’ and you’re just like, ‘Oh, yeah, it was a year ago,’ and that’s how I advertise [laughs]. I guess just getting the word out and trying to keep it above the surface have been the biggest challenges. It’s all balanced out by getting to do what you want to do though.



What song off Initial means the most to you? or songs?
K: You know, it’s probably my least favorite song on the record, but ‘Storms’ probably means the most to me because that was like the song that started the Person L thing for me. I had broken up with my current girlfriend the day before I wrote that and I was just in a bad spot and needed a way to express myself. It had been a while since I had used the medium of song to feel better. A lot of the times I wrote songs because it was time to; I had to, but this was the first time in a long time that I wrote something just out of pure emotion.

Being two former front men of very established bands, do you and Ace [Enders] share common ground?
K: Yeah. We find ourselves talking about all sorts of common experiences together and out tribulations and everything. He’s always asking me about putting stuff out yourself and I’m always asking him about the way that he’s doing things. I think that we’re both learning from each other.

Are we going to see a new record from Person L or even The Starting Line?
K: The Starting Line DVD is coming out in November and there’s a live record with that. It came out really good and I’m really happy with how the documentary came out.
Was the live content of the album all over or was it done at one location?
K: It was one show. Our last Philadelphia show. I think there’s footage of the show on the DVD and the documentary and then the CD of the show. The documentary gives anybody a real good feel for what happened. You get a clear story. Person L recorded an album this February and we’re getting the artwork done right now and it should be out by September. I’m really happy with it.

Was the writing process any different from the first time you wrote for Person L?
K: Yeah. The first time it was mainly me and the drummer [Brian Medlin] and then Charley [Schnieder] and a little help from Brian Schmutz came in a little bit later in the process. This time, from the beginning, we have written all of the songs together and performed all together so it’s more of a band thing this time.

Always remember where you came from… a saying that should never be forgotten. Many of you know William Beckett as the lead singer of The Academy Is. Did you know that he had a solo project before TAI though? It was named Remember Maine. Streaming above is “Eastbound Traffic” off William’s debut album, The Last Place You Look, which was released in 2002. Embrace the classic-ness.

Freedom is nothing but the chance to be better.
