Biggest news for the day is that Jerey’s own Thursday have signed to Epitaph after their short run on a major label. Life In A Bungalo talked with singer Geoff Rickly a few months back at Jonathan Levine Gallery and he pretty much alluded to the fact that the band was looking to gt back to one of the larger indie punk labels. The band was originally on Victory, but abandoned the metal-core label for greener pastures. Then the record industry collapsed. The band is working on a new record, but nothing has been announced yet. This is the second big pick-up for Epitaph in the last few weeks, having just signed New Found Glory. We’ll try to get an interview with Thursday ASAP.

Fat Wreck Chords just released a bunch of new records from the likes of Star Fucking Hipsters, Lagwagon, and Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. Most importantly, The Swingin’ Utters’ “Juvenile Product of the Working Class” is getting repressed on limited yellow vinyl.

Slayer is giving away a new song to people attending their upcoming Unholy Alliance dates. Too bad all the tour dates are overseas. Word on the street is that the new album will be hitting stores some time next year. Prepare to be slayed.

Finally, the Satin Peaches have a new video and it isn’t that awful. It would be cooler if their name was Satin’s Peaches.
