Weeping Willows will be releasing a new singles collection entitled "Singles again" in November. I presume the disc is an updated version of the long out-of-print promo-only singles comp they released many years ago, updated with newer material. And speaking of new material, the record will also include the two new songs "I'm Gonna Let Love Find me" and "Brighter Day", the former of which will be released as a single. You can listen to both of 'em now at ml" target=_blank>Aftonbladet. The band also plans to head out on tour around Scandinavia and Germany this fall and dates should be confirmed soon.

New track today from Regulations, whose self-titled debut album was recently released on Dennis Lyxzén's (The (Int'l) Noise Conspiracy, Refused) new label Ny Våg. Along with Knugen Faller, these dudes are putting Umeå on the map as the place to go for quality punk-rock. And we're talking classic 80s So-Cal style punk, not the kind of stuff that passes for punk on the radio or mTV. This is way more gruff and raw than any of that bullshit. Which is not to say that it's totally lacking in pop flavor. There's still tons of hooks and worthy sing-alongs. I listen to this stuff and I feel like I did when I was twelve years old and just discovering punk for the first time. It's not that they're tackling big issues with the lyrics or anything (they most definitely aren't), but they've got the spirit and that's enough to move me. I often get sour about how bad the scene has become, but then I hear stuff like this and I realize once again that it's not so bad. Can't wait to see 'em when they tour the US this fall. m/tours/" target=_blank>Go here for the latest dates.
