The New Music Friday Vol. 45

At least I think it's number 45... big deal. It's late, I spent 10 hours helping someone move, I'm cramped, and I'm off to go snowboarding. So piss off, this will be fast:

- Truth Explosion's got a bunch of pictures from the recent Choke/Moneen show up at their site. Check it out at www.truthexplosion.com

- The Black Maria have retreated back to Toronto to regroup after the departure of Kyle Bishop (ex-Grade frontman). Expect some new material by year's end.

- Check out Hayden's relatively new CD, Elk Lake Serenade. I'm a little behind on Hayden, but this guy is a genius. Mark my words, he is the next Neil Young. Just type "Hayden" into google, or hit up Hardwood Records for his site with links to music and videos. My choice track is Hollywood Ending.

- The Ataris new album will drop in June

- The Early November have a new track available at www.downloadpunk.com

- This year's Bamboozle festival will be huge. Bands confirmed so far include:
