It’s Sunday, December 30th, 2007. Welcome to Navel Gazing, your look back at this week in Punknews. I’ll level with you guys: this was a pretty meagre week. This happens every December mind you, the well of music stories pretty much runs dry by the end of the month. Look for things to ramp up rather quickly following New Years. Get your news pants ready.
The people must have something good to read on a Sunday
The holiday week brought a number of major tour announcements. Influential hardcore / metal act Earth Crisis will reunite for a number of shows in early 2008. The Dropkick Murphys will continue to tour in support of their newest full length. Crime In Stereo announced support dates with Poison the Well for early in the year as well. Political grind act Misery Index is set to hit the studio soon with Converge axe man Kurt Ballou producing. Major label refugees Story of the Year also discussed the rationale behind their jump from Warner to Epitaph.
We had new audio this week from Fake Problems, who unleashed a tribute to Evel Knievel. Pop stars Fall Out Boy will be the subject of a documentary by filmmaker Albert Maysles, one-half of the team that made the Rolling Stones’ seminal Gimme Shelter tour doc. A DVD release has been secured for the N.Y.H.C documentary, which features bands like 108 , Madball , Sick Of It All and Agnostic Front discussing their scene. This week brought us another volley in the RIAA’s war on the public, another look at the loudness war, and the nominations for the Shortlist award, including bands like Bad Religion, Against Me! and Gogol Bordello.
As a holiday gift from us here at the `Org check out a video of a full set from New Jersey’s Gaslight Anthem, performed at this year’s The Fest 6. This week we spoke with Ryan Young of Off With Their Heads (interview) and Justin Pedrick of Eyeball act The Number Twelve Looks Like You (interview). The twenty second edition of Vinyl File brought you a listing of upcoming releases that’ll compete for your dollar in 2008.
