We're interviewing Night Verses next week, in honor of their upcoming record, Lift Your Existence. Have questions for the band? Drop them in the replies - we'll post the interview when we premiere their new song "Time Erases Time (Strung Out)" next Tuesday.
Hop to the replies to check out my full review of last weekend's Skate and Surf festivities. You all may have heard the negatives about it in our open thread -- but there were some positives to be realized as well.
If Skate and Surf doesn’t return next year, we’ll know why. It paled in comparison to 2012’s Bamboozle, which on its own wasn’t a perfect experience... But if you came to see good bands, you left Six Flags Great Adventure having seen plenty of them.
Today's band spotlight focuses on the UK's Blitz Kids. Does shimmering, pounding rock sound like your kind of thing? Then scroll down and check out a behind the scenes clip from the shooting of their new video "On My Own", which is also in the replies. Their second full-length is due later this year and the band play Slam Dunk this weekend. Enjoy.
You know we're big fans of I The Mighty 'round here - today we're happy to announce the awesomeness planned in honor of Satori. At 12pm PST this Wednesday, we're premiering "Echoes," the second track from their new record. Then at 4pm PST, the band is coming on AbsolutePunk to chat about the song, their new album, their upcoming tour, and all things I The Mighty. Oh, you want a giveaway too? Go like the AbsolutePunk Facebook and share this post for the chance to win an ITM mega bundle, including the band's own brand of green tea. Get ready.
The guys in Small Brown Bike will be chatting with us on Monday, May 27th at 6 PM EST (3 PM PST). They'll be talking about their return to songwriting as a band and their amazing upcoming Recollected 2xLP out on May 28th, which you can pre-order here. See you then!
In case you missed them during the week or didn't have time to read them before, head to the replies for a second chance to check out the interviews posted this week.

We're getting pretty stoked that this year's Skate and Surf Fest is this weekend. So to match that excitement, we put together a pretty rad playlist featuring some of our favorite songs from the band's playing at S+S, which you can stream in the replies. What band (or bands) are you looking forward to seeing the most?

Today we've got a guest column from Nick Mango -- he's a co-founder of cool companies like Limited Run and Card Included -- for our Friday Discussion. Nick has been collecting vinyl for over 20 years, and he has a few things to say to people who claim they buy vinyl because of the "warmer sound" or other similar reasons...read the full column in the replies, get mad at it or agree with it, and let your voice be heard.
