Universal Music is said to be not renewing their contract with iTunes. Songs from the companies record labels could go off of iTunes at almost any time with Universals move.

What do you think a move like this would do for bands and iTunes itself?

What do you get when you mix a little melody, a golden falsetto, scratchy punk vocals, driving guitars, screaming, and a strong rhythm? You get Crisis.

As the third release from Ontario’s Alexisonfire, Crisis is poignantly remarkable. In the two weeks since it’s release, the album has surpassed sales of the band’s first record. And with good reason.
