Check out an e-card for the Explosions In Your Pants Tour featuring Mayday Parade, My American Heart, and The Graduate.

A pre-order for the upcoming Punk Goes Crunk comp can be picked up at Interpunk, Smart Punk, or Merch Now. Read what New Found Glory, Set Your Goals, My American Heart, Forever the Sickest Kids, Lorene Drive have to say about their “crunk” covers.

New Found Glory - “Tennessee” by Arrested Development
“We chose “Tennessee” by Arrested Development because some of us grew listening to this record. He sang about important issues dealing with racism, poverty and many other political topics. Instead of just recording a guilty pleasure rap/pop song we decided to do something we were more passionate about.”

Explosions in Your Pants Tour will be heading up the East Cost this spring with Mayday Parade, My American Heart and The Graduate.
 
The Explosions in Your Pants Tour presented by Glamour Kills will be hitting the East Coast this April with headliners Mayday Parade (Fearless Records) and supporting artists My American Heart (Warcon Records) and The Graduate (IconMes).  This tour will begin in Florida, Mayday Parade’s home state, and continue up the coast ending at The Bamboozle Festival in New Jersey.

Has 2007 proven to be better then last year? That is the question and we are looking for an answer, but a full year in review will have to wait another 6 months. The second half of the year looks promising with releasing from Paramore, The Rocket Summer, Motion City Soundtrack, Jimmy Eat World and more coming in the next few months. But what has the first half of the year done for our endless music craving? Releases from Anberlin, Relient K, Sherwood, Fall Out Boy and more hit shelves with lots of fanfare, but did they live up to the hype? This year is also filled with lots of sophomore albums from bands like Sullivan, The Fold, Paramore, My American Heart, Circa Survive and many more. Did these releases fall into the sophomore slump or are they destine for greatness.
