Haunts are set to release a remix of ‘News‘ and release the single ‘London’s Burning‘ as an exclusive FREE download this week including a cover of White Wedding by Billy Idol.
We had the pleasure of watching this band rehearse a little while ago and they are one of the tightest bands around. Look out for them.
The Gaslight Anthem have been causing waves with their supreme sound.
They will release their second single from ‘The ’59 Sound’ called ‘Old White Lincoln’ on December 1st and also sign some stuff at the Vans store in Carnaby Street on the same day. Whatever you do, don’t miss this tour as this could be the last you will see them in smallish venue.
December Tour Dates:
1st London, Vans Store (signing session)
3rd: Glasgow, Garage
4th Manchester, Academy 3
5th London, LA2

This year’s Crossfire Halloween Massacre in association with Etnies was a huge success this weekend. The mini ramp jam was almost as insane as people’s costumes! Thanks so much if you came down to support this one, it was by far the best event we have thown to date. Big thanks to Etnies, Element, Kerrang! and Sidewalk Mag for all their hard work, plus Tweaker, Lovenskate and of course YOU.
Expect full night raids once the photographer gets our pics to us and footage from the skate jam will follow some time this week. Those of you who are regulars will be delighted to know that the Crossfire Xmas Jam and Party has been arranged to drop on Saturday December 13th. Put this in your diary and expect news of the line up and location soon.
