Cephalic Carnage has recently announced the addition of guitar player Brian Hopp. The band provided the following comments: "So yeah yeah old news, but as most of you know Zac [Joe] left the band, but what you don't know is who our new guitarist is. Please welcome Brian Hopp a.k.a. Legolas to the Cephalic family. He's got a really sweet bow and arrow, and his guitar playing is almost as good as his archery. We are extremely pleased with his work on the new record, and we think you will be too. Come tickle his chin and give him a pinch on Summer's Laughter!" http://www.myspace.com/cephaliccarnage

Relapse Records is proud to announce the signing of Brooklyn, NY's Titan. Titan, who have previously released material on Paradigms and Tee Pee Records, have recently completed work on a brand new full-length album titled Sweet Dreams. Sweet Dreams was recorded at Translator Audio in Brooklyn with engineer Brendan Tobin (Made Out Of Babies, Red Sparowes). An October 12th release date has been set. Titan's Josh Anzano commented on the new album: "Sweet Dreams has been the culmination of major urges welling up inside all of us to be a bit faster, a bit harder, a bit trippier and generally more aggro in our approach to writing, jamming out, and conceptualizing the songs and record as a whole. It's a lot tighter, but it's also a lot looser. We recorded with Brendan Tobin at his killer 'Translator Audio' studio in Brooklyn and we're pretty fucking stoked on the final results, and we hope that you are too!" www.myspace.com/titanaut

Dayton, Ohio based metalcore band The Devil Wears Prada have uploaded a new song onto their myspace page. The song "Outnumbered" is taken from the band's new EP, titled "Zombie", which will be released on August 24, 2010.

"Exist.Expire" is the debut LP from Philadelphia's Bearings. The LP consists of seven decidedly bummed out jams that sound a good deal like the No Idea bands that not so many people care about, like True North and Small Brown Bike. When the boys bring it down a few notches, influence from east coast indie bands like Rainer Maria shines through.

According to a recent interview with The Get Up Kids front man Matt Pryor, the band will be releasing a new album in January/February 2011, ditching the idea of releasing an EP series similar to the band's "Simple Science" EP.Pryor said:"I think we've scrapped the multiple EP idea, in lieu of doing a full-length album instead. We are working on it, as we are putting out an album in January/February; or in the Spring at the latest. We've been working on a lot of new songs, went to Australia and Japan, had a couple of months off, and came here [to London].""Simple Science" is in stores now through the band's Simple Psyence Recordings label.

Philadelphia hardcore band Reign Supreme have announced that Kevin White, who has previously played guitar in Rise Against and handled vocals for With Honor, has joined the band on second guitar.
