The All-American Rejects Are On Epitaph Records

No this ain’t a joke.

Pop-punk legends The All-American Rejects have apparently made a deal with independent label Epitaph Records (Culture Abuse, Falling In Reverse, Quicksand). The news came out a few days ago after Epitaph made a tweet talking about the band’s newest EP She Goes To Eleven, which is supposed to come out July 16, as well as a new song called “Send Her To Heaven”. The Reddit page r/allamericanrejects also confirmed the signing.

The All-American Rejects will be appearing at the Vans Warped Tour 25th show in Mountain View, Calif., on Sunday, July 21 with Bad Cop / Bad Cop, Dance Gavin Dance, Go Betty Go, NOFX, and Shiragirl.

The Starting Line Announce 20th Anniversary Tour

Legendary pop-punk quintet The Starting Line are celebrating 20 years as a band in a big way.

The Philly based group will embark on a nine date tour over the course of five months. The Starting Line wrote in a statement, “It’s difficult to believe it’s been 20 years since we started this band. We are celebrating that timespan with some really rad gigs. In addition to dusting off the classic material, we’ll be telling stories about the band & the songs. If you haven’t seen us in a while or ever, now is your chance. Come on let’s go!”

Their 20th anniversary tour will have the group appearing at the Atlantic City, N.J., and Mountain View, Calif., locations for Warped Tour’s 25th anniversary show along with Not Ur Girlfrenz, A Day To Remember, H2O, Bad Cop / Bad Cop, Dance Gavin Dance, and Sum 41.

Tickets for these shows go on sale Friday, May 3, at 10 a.m. local time and will be available at www.startinglinerock.com.

Spanish Love Songs Sign To Pure Noise Records, Drop New Song

Indie punks Spanish Love Songs are stepping up in the music world, officially announcing that they’re now part of the Pure Noise Records (Drug Church, Graduating Life, Youth Fountain) family.

The L.A. quintet broke the news earlier today, saying that joining the California based label is “crazy.” To celebrate their signing, Spanish Love Songs dropped a brand new track titled “Losers” out now. It’ll also be available as a seven-inch record on April 26.

Spanish Love Songs formed in 2014 and have dropped two albums, 2015’s Giant Sings The Blues on Wiretap Records (The Burnt Tapes, Radar State, Wolves & Wolves & Wolves & Wolves) and 2018’s Schmaltz on A-F Records (Anti-Flag, The Homeless Gospel Choir, Lee Corey Oswald). They’ve toured with Hot Water Music, Iron Chic, and Typesetter, and have done shows with Good Riddance, Red City Radio, and The Flatliners.

A-F Records even congratulated the band on a post, saying how they wish SLS “ALL the best in their new home” and how Schmaltz “will always hold a special place in A-F history!” They also wrote, “Nothing makes us happier than to see a band grow on account of their hard work and successes! Our dear friends in Spanish Love Songs have found their way into the hearts of many, and it’s been an honor to work with them over the passed year.”

The band are currently touring Europe with PKEW PKEW PKEW. Later this year, they’ll appear at Camp Anarchy with NOFX, Pouzza Fest with Strung Out, Obenuse Fest with Bad Cop / Bad Cop, Groezrock with Emmure, and FEST 18 with Jawbreaker.
