You Hear It First: Rebecca Black Screamo Remix

Famous Last Words are the first to take a crack at this Rebecca Black "Friday" song. Check out their screamo-remix. It's pretty darn good... even the melody surpasses Black's.

Dirty Work Tour coming to DC

Maryland natives, All Time Low, will take DC by storm on March 28 at the famed 9:30 Club, headlining the Dirty Work Tour. This 35 city trek will span North America with direct support of the return of Yellowcard, Hey Monday, and The Ready Set.

This tour will hype the band's major label debut, Dirty Work, which is expected to release this year on DGC/Interscope. Early reports on the album suggest that All Time Low are looking to break the boundaries of the power-pop genre, and show the critics just what they have to offer as a dynamic band.

"…this album was an effort to develop our sound and hone in on great songwriting," says lead singer and guitarist, Alex Garkarth.

New CD from Yellowcard

The wait is finally over for long-time Yellowcard fans. After a 2 year hiatus, the masters of California pop-punk have returned with a brand new full length, "When You're Through Thinking, Say Yes." We'll have a full review of the album later this week.

You can catch Yellowcard in Washington DC on March 28 at the 9:30 Club

Jimmy Eat World goes to college

Last week, emo rockers took over the Dodd Auditorium at the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, VA. The college hosted event was opened by Dave Bazan and his band.

Fans of Pedro the Lion, Bazan's former band, rejoiced as he announced he would be playing songs from his previous gig citing, "For those who remember that band Pedro the Lion, we're basically that, just a different name, so we'll be playing some of those songs for you."

To which the crowd responded quite loudly with, "PENETRATION!" A song off of their 2009 release, Control.

Shortly after 9 P.M. the seated auditorium rose to its feet as Jim Adkins,
Tom Linton, Rick Burch, and Zach Lind took the stage along with guest keyboardist and vocalist for this tour, Courtney Andrews.

Opening with "Bleed American," Jimmy Eat World re-ignited a connection with long time fans, as they transitioned to new material from their 2010 release, Invented.

The set lasted over an hour and featured famed ballads like "Hear You Me," and "23." The night concluded with their current single, "Invented," and past hits, "The Middle," and "Sweetness."

As Adkins concluded the night wailing, "Are you listening?" it was clear by the thunderous response from the audience that they indeed were.

Catch Jimmy Eat World on tour through April!

Club rock con't

Tokyo Police Club returned to Washington DC in January after having defeated DC rapper Wale last fall in the Red Bull Soundclash. Judging by the sold out and uber responsive crowd, it's no wonder these Brooklyn rockers were able to come out on top.
