Less than two months after the release of This Means War, Attack Attack! is planning their next album and in a new interview, drummer Andrew Wetzel revealed that the band are no longer part of the Rise Records roster:

“More importantly, This Means War was our last record with Rise Records. We don’t have another record label or anything lined up and probably not planning on going to another one. So it’s like we’ve got this sitting around that we can do whatever the hell we want with whenever we want … The music industry is pretty pathetic and the general business model of the record label doesn’t seem to be cutting it anymore. It’s really important to make sure that your business is very liquid and that you can move and change very quickly and you can adapt and you can be in a position to set the trends instead of just chasing them forever. So we feel like it’s probably a better plan for us. You know, we really don’t like being told what to do, so it just kind of ultimately works out better.”

According to Rise Records, Attack Attack! simply fulfilled their contract with the label and there’s no further developments beyond that.

Manhattan, KS ’ The After Party were involved in a van accident after their Boston show on Saturday night with Allstar Weekend. While traveling through Roxbury , CT en route to Staten Island , NY , the band’s van veered off the road and over a guard rail. The van was totaled, but luckily no one was injured.

As guitarist Andy Bell explains, “We were pulling an all night drive after our show in Boston to Staten Island , NY . I was driving at the time, and already really low on sleep. We were only five miles away from where we were staying, and I was starting to get really drowsy, but since we were so close I wanted to just finish the drive. I fell asleep for a split second as we came up to a curve, and we ran off the road over a guard rail.  We still made it to the show in Staten Island last night. We had to cram into three different cars and literally walked on stage 20 minutes after arriving at the venue, but we made it happen.“

The After Party has picked up a new van and plans to finish out the remainder of their tour dates with Allstar Weekend.

“Wrecking the van was one of the scariest moments of my entire life and I am so thankful no one got hurt. We seriously appreciate all of the love our fans are giving us, and we are going to do everything in our power to make it all of the remaining shows on the All The Way Tour,“ says Bell .

Max Bemis of Say Anything has launched an imprint with Equal Vision Records, dubbed Rory Records. The first band to join the imprint is Tampa, Florida-based Tallhart. Bemis had this to say about the group:

“They are TALLHART. A brilliant young band from Tampa who can write a stadium rock-level anthem like nobody’s business but don’t shy away from lovely, dense songwriting. They also put on a sickeningly great live show,” Bemis expounds. “To me, they combine the best elements of early U2, Manchester Orchestra and sort of a young Pearl Jam (that last one is a pretty weird call, but I stand by it): basically, smart and brave music, rich with a swelling, unfiltered feeling. I’ll be working closely with them on many aspects of their music and the record, and am extremely excited for the release of their EVR/Rory Records debut EP.”

The band’s debut EP for Rory/EVR is slated for a spring release; the first single, “Fever (Sister Of Mine),” will be digitally released March 6. The band’s upcoming tour dates with Eisley and Say Anything can be seen below.
