Alright. Played a lot of bands this week who've broken up. Plus many of the bands are still truckin around Europe and elsewhere, so there's not a ton of news this week. But here's what we've managed to find:

Comeback Kid has a "misheard lyrics" type video up on their space. It's humourous... http://www.myspace.com/comebackkid


Back in the day, Misery Signals made a video for "The Year Summer Ended In June", which was recently uncovered by the bloodhound himself, C-dawg. Professional, produced, and in memory of friends passed. Here.

Be sure to check Boys Night Out's myspace for more details about thier "reunion" show in October.

Also, Saosin has just come out with a new album called "In Search Of Solid Ground" which I will debut next week. Be there.
