The Warped Tour Line Up

Sucks. Really it does. NOFX and Bad Religion are touring this year as well as is a newly "independent" Anti-Flag (they broke free of their corporate shackles and are now signed to Side One Dummy), but besides Meg & Dia there isn't that much else to look forward to. Unless you think Jeffree Star and Millionaires have any talent, which I don't. This music tour better have a serious makeover come next year or else they are going to be losing a ton of devoted punk fans.

Meg & Dia new album "Here, Here and Here"

Its a bit more pop oriented than their last effort "Something Real" but so far their sophomore album sounds pretty solid. Tracks like "Black Wedding" and "What if" sound a bit generic and unoriginal but catchy. However tracks like "Here, Here and Here" and "Going Away" make up for the weak song writing on the first two singles. I especially liked the song "Going Away" mostly because I could relate to the lyrics. Overall I am looking forward to hearing the album in its entirety and not just snippets and singles that I find through my Internet sources. The album comes out April 21st and you can hear the first 2 singles and "Here, Here and Here" on their myspace. As well as on their official website (where they also have posted 3 singles from the last record).
