Every Time I Die have announced the title of their fifth album and first for Epitaph Records is “New Junk Aesthetic”. Guitarist Jordan Buckley posted the following message:
“There’s a pretty good chance that you’ll be finding a pile of brand new original drawings of mine all over New Junk Aesthetic, the fifth full length CD from Every Time I Die, and the first on Epitaph Records, makes sense, right? I don’t think I could be more excited. Over the post month I have been making some lyrically influenced illustrations to coexist with the music, and it’s going better than I could have planned. The big wigs at Epitaph saw my doodles and confirmed that we are onto something big here, from all angles. This also explains my lack of updates: it’s not that I haven’t been drawing, it’s just that the drawings are top fucking secret! So since I won’t be able to give you anything new to look at for a while, I am forced to make my updates word based, located specifically at twitter.com/jordanetid.”
“New Junk Aesthetic” will be released sometime this year. Check out our range of Every Time I Die merch.
Alexisonfire‘s new video for their track “Young Cardinals” can now be seen online here. The shoot took place with director Marc Ricciardelli (Protest The Hero, Cancer Bats). The band will release their new album “Old Crows / Young Cardinals” through Vagrant on June 23rd.

Have Heart will be calling it a day following the completion of their ambitious world tour later this year. Speaking on their decision, band frontman Patrick Flynn had the following to say:
“Once the Fall rolls around, we can’t really do this band the way we would prefer to anymore. Knowing this deadline of ours and having a whole world tour already booked, we’d like to take advantage of the chance to say goodbye to all the people we have met around the world over the years. So, please come check us out in the remaining months on our little trip around the globe. So far Asia has been a wonderful experience and we’re very happy to have had the chance to meet so many kind people and look forward to the rest of Asia. We will be playing our last show on this year’s National Edge Day on October 17th 2009 with a bunch of our friends bands and a sweet guest. It will be somewhere T accessible in the Boston area. It will also be a benefit for a women’s shelter in New Bedford, MA, run by my kind mother. It’s been a nice 7 years and we’d like to thank all the unique hardcore kids and bands we have encountered. And in the words of DFJ, thanks to all the shit talkers for all the material to get off on. But, really….we have met so many wonderful people who we’ll just never forget. It’s been so great. Take care and hope to see you over the next couple months.”
