Recap for the week of July 11th:
- Bad Religion has finished recording their upcoming album, Dissent of Man, which will be released on September 28th. Not only is this the first release from the band in three years, but it will also be their fifteenth studio album.
- In the wake of a split 7" with Bouncing Souls in the works, Hot Water Music frontman Chuck Ragan revealed that he is also planning a split with Brian Fallon of The Gaslight Anthem. After HWM went on hiatus in 2006, Ragan released a number of solo albums and splits as a folk artist, so this is familiar territory for him.
- Taking Back Sunday have an upcoming live CD entitled "Live From Orensanz." The album is entirely acoustic and will be released on August 17th. The limited edition CD/DVD version of the album will only be available to order on the band's website, while the regular version will be available at stores and for digital download.
- A new album from Weezer is set to be released on September 13th on an indie label. The album will be the follow-up to 2009's Raditude, which received mixed reviews from fans and critics alike. In an interview with newstimes.com, Rivers said of the new album: "There's definitely going to be a more raw rock energy on this one."

- Do you like free music? Of course you do. Head on over to Amazon to download the free summer sampler from SideOneDummy Records. Big D and the Kids Table, Anti-Flag, The Casualties, and Flogging Molly are just a few of the bands featured on the sampler.
- The first episode of Every Time I Die's webseries, Shit Happens: The Series?, is available on the Vans website. A new episode will be posted every Wednesday, so keep checking back.
- Comeback Kid has posted the first new song from their upcoming album, Symptoms and Cures (out August 31st). The song, "Do Yourself A Favor," is available for listening on the band's MySpace page and sounds like everything else they've ever released. Not that I'm complaining.
- A new video for Gogol Bordello's song "Pala Tute" has been released. A new video with some creepy stop-motion animation, to be exact:
- The world's greatest horror rock band, Calabrese, has finished inking their upcoming comic book. As the band stated on their website, "The next step in the process is the lettering, leading the way towards printing, then ultimately making it into your sweaty, grubby hands." Click here to see a few panels from the comic.
- Travis Barker (Blink-182, Transplants, +44) has a solo album coming out in the near future, aptly titled Give the Drummer Some. The drummer revealed via Twitter that he is recording a video for the first single, "Carry It," which has guest appearances from Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave) and RZA (of Wu-Tang Clan fame). If that isn't the strangest group of people to be featured on the same song, I don't know what is.
- As if you haven't read the words, "finished recording their upcoming album," enough in this post, I've got two more for you. Both Bayside and Senses Fail have completed the recording process for their new albums. Little has been revealed by either band, so it's okay to lump them into the same bullet point for lack of material to elaborate on.
