Boys Like Girls Announce UK Show
Interview: A Day To Remember
Whilst over in the UK for a nationwide sold-out tour, Neil Westfall and Kevin Skaff of A Day To Remember sat down with Alter The Press! before their show at the HMV Forum in London.
The guys spoke to ATP! about their recent trip to Australia, plans for another music video, starting work on the follow-up to 'Homesick', Mexican food and more.
Alter The Press: How was your recent trip to Australia?
Neil Westfall (guitar/vocals): Amazing, straight up. Since we went over there, with Parkway Drive in the beginning, I don't think you could have asked for a better trip to Australia. The shows were amazing, we got taken care by the Soundwave Festival (Australian music festival) crew and it was really weird touring on a plane instead of a bus.
Kevin Skaff (guitar/vocals): There are no buses allowed there, you're not allowed to sleep in a moving vehicle. It's crazy, but awesome though.

This week we've teamed up with the guys in Forever The Sickest Kids to offer our readers this fantastic giveway.

Album Review: Streetlight Manifesto - 99 Songs Of Revolution
Ska-Punk cover albums are kinda cliché, numerous bands have done it, some are good and some are just completely unbearable. Streetlight Manifesto are just the latest to show off their brass-based take on other artists songs, with '99 Songs Of Revolution', an album that sees New Jersey group covering songs by the likes of NOFX, Radiohead, The Postal Service and more.
Like most ska-punk bands, '99 Songs Of Revolution' is pretty harmless and is just there to enjoy from start to finish. Mason Jennings' 'Birds Just Fly Away' opens the album and is everything you'd expect, nothing more, nothing less. Whilst 'Hell' (originally by Squirrel Nut Zippers) and 'Punk Rock Girl' (The Dead Milkmen) are short, favourable stabs of high-class ska with the bands brass section hitting all the right spots, something which is consistent throughout.
