Album Review: Never Shout Never - Time Travel
Never Shout Never are a group with humble beginnings, true children of the MySpace age and one of the few remaining relics of the social network’s success (besides such gems of the internet as Tom Anderson’s Facebook page). The success of Never Shout Never may earn a snide look from the cynics if only for the fact that vocalist Christofer Drew’s first name is spelled with an ‘f’ rather than a ‘ph’; however, it’s hard to deny that a comeback following tragedy is an impressive feat.
On May 22nd, 2011 a tornado wreaked havoc on the band’s hometown of Joplin, Missouri after which the band’s status was implemented to raise money for relief.
The Blackout Announce New EP

The Get Up Kids NOT Breaking Up - "Taking Time To Work On Other Things"
Despite earlier reports, The Get Up Kids have stated they are NOT disbanding and that they are just "taking time to work on other things" after their current European tour.
The band released the following statement:
"OK. To clarify the earlier post - we are not 'disbanding', like Punktastic seemed to say. That would imply the band is splitting up, again. Nope. Not the case. Not even a hiatus. Just means that we are taking some time to work on other things, and we might not make it to Europe again for a while. End of story. Hiatus is a tricky word now. it means taking a break for sure. though most of the time with bands 'going on hiatus' really means they are splitting up. which is why we didnt say 'we are going on hiatus'. got that?"

Album Review: New Found Glory - Radiosurgery
It’s been twelve years since New Found Glory released their debut album, 'Nothing Gold Can Stay', and since then they’ve cemented themselves into the foundation of modern pop punk. But how does a band who’ve been around that long keep it fresh and exciting? Simple - they’ve taken New Found Glory circa 2001 and given them a 2011 make over.
'Radiosurgery' doesn’t quite have that edge that their previous release, 'Not Without A Fight' had, but what it lacks in grit it more than makes up for in fun. It might be more of a grower than an instant hit but the undeniable knack New Found Glory have to writing a flawless pop-punk record cannot be overlooked.
