Transit will be hosting a listening party for Young New England on Monday, April 1st, at the Hard Rock in Boston. The band will be playing the entire album. The event is free but limited to the first 200 people in line - more details are in the replies.

Both Fireworks and Transit members have tweeted pretty damning statements about the Empire venue in Springfield, VA. From what we've been able to piece together, it looks like the promoter used hateful speech -- and then shit hit the fan. We've reached out to try and find out exactly what happened.

Update: A statement about everything that happened, from Floyd James, can be found here.

We have our own version of March Madness this week, as we have another great premiere following up yesterday's fun. One of this site's favorite bands, Transit, will be releasing its new album, Young New England, next week. As we inch closer to April 2nd, we'd thought we give you another small taste of the Boston quintet's second album on Rise Records. The song is "Weathered Souls," and it's one of my favorite tracks on the new LP. Featuring Joe Boynton's always-honest lyrics and needling guitar riffs that won't leave your head, this song is bound to be a new fan favorite. Check it out in the replies and don't forget to pre-order Young New England here. Also, don't forget that...

PropertyOfZack sat down with Joe Boynton of Transit and talked about the evolution of his writing for the band's next album.

From The Interview

It’s a really natural writing process. It’s like we’re writing the way we used to with Stay Home andThis Will Not Define Us. The songs don’t sound the same, but it’s the method and sequence of how we’re writing the songs. It’s a similar recipe, but it’s not coming to come out the same. Listen & Forgive was completely different. It could sound similar, but songs like “Over Your Head” and “Skipping Stone” grow as they move along. That’s what we’re trying to hone in. We want that growing build up. You have a climax in a song and there’s momentum. It...
