New Yellowcard song
Yellowcard have posted a new track online from their forthcoming album.
The record will be called Paper Walls and is due for release in July, following up Lights And Sounds in 2006. The band were disappointed with the response to that album saying:
“Some people in the band felt the need to rebel from where we were and the kind of acts we were grouped with. A lot of people in our band thought we had a lot more to offer. And that’s how we’ve ended up where we are…I think maybe we were a little too jaded and a little too dark, and I think that the lack of hope and faith that we put on this record made us a little less sparkly and light to people.”
Check out the new track, Light Up The Sky, on their myspace page by clicking below.

Sinn leaves Angels & Airwaves
Ryan Sinn, formerly of The Distillers, has been booted out of Tom DeLonge’s Angels & Airwaves.
Sinn delivered the message to the band’s fan club, saying that he didn’t want to go into details about the split as he didn’t want to be “desperate” by “throwing dirt”.
However he did go on to say that he felt the reasons used for kicking him out were “hypocritical to the point of abhorrent disgust”.

Strapping Young Lad split
Following the press conference earlier this month where Devin Townsend said both Strapping Young Lad and the Devin Townsend Band were finished, he has posted on his official message board:
“I’m officially burnt out on travelling, touring, and self promotion. I want to produce and make records for an undetermined length of time. Please respect that… I’m sure at some point I’ll get the itch to play, but in the meantime, please respect that I’ve burnt myself out and need to get away from it all.”
