It’s called Mixtape 1 and its available for a free download here: http://files.geoffrickly.com/Geoff_Rickly__Mixtape_1.zip The Mixtape format is meant to be a casual way to try out some new things. There are some brand new songs, along with a cover and a rewrite of one of my oldest favorites. The majority of it was recorded in my apartment in the middle of Hurricane Sandy and the song New Sympathies, in particular, reminds me of those heavy winds and deep waters. There are no strings attached, no hidden marketing games. This doesn’t reflect my belief that music should be free or any desire to revolutionize an industry. I just want to do this myself, for now. No art-by-committee, no selling music. Just me & my friends at home, making songs(bedroom son...

The Wonder Years vocalist Dan "Soupy" Campbell has announced in a recent interview that the band will be recording their new album in January next year. Campbell said: "After this tour we have three weeks off [so] we're gonna be rehearsing because we already wrote the record. The record is written. And we're actually tighter playing those songs than we've ever been before recording a record. But we want to make sure they're so tight that when we get in there we can push through it and really hit it. We don't want to waste time fucking up a part 100 times when we can hit it the first time and move on and add more to the song. So we're gonna spend 3 weeks in December at home drilling the songs. January, we're recording the record and February we're in Costa Rica and Australia then we're planned out from there I just can't talk about it yet."

Portland, Maine's Cruel Hand have proved to be a favourite amongst the Australian hardcore scene. First touring the country in 2009 and being a part of the Hardcore 2009 fesival, the band followed that up with another highly talked about tour in June 2011 with Sydney's Phantoms. Now, just 17 months later, the band will be tearing the country apart once again, touring with Miles Away and The Others to celebrate Miles Away's 10th anniversary as a band. We caught up with the band's vocalist Chris Linkovich to discuss the upcoming tour, as well as the band's choice to leave Bridge Nine Records and do things on their own.
