Warped Habitat

Press Release reports: Last Friday, the VANS WARPED TOUR® donated $300,000 to Habitat For Humanity. The donation will help build five new houses for Hurricane Katrina victims.

VANS WARPED TOUR skaters and artists as well as members of the Vans and Warped Tour organization gathered together to help build a prefabricated home, load it onto a truck and ship it off to Louisiana where it will be given to a family in need. In addition, for the summer 2006 VANS WARPED TOUR trek, the tour will stop into areas affected by the hurricanes to assist communities with rebuilding homes.

Due to the success of the VANS WARPED TOUR® this summer--over 680,000 tickets were sold--the tour was able to team up with Habitat for Humanity to make a difference. In the tour’s traditional grassroots fashion, the VANS WARPED TOUR® has continued not only to be successful, but to give back to the community by donating to charities worldwide. Fans can log onto www.warpedtour.com for direct links to multiple ways to help. - Click Here for the Full Story

Darkness Returns

Atlantic reports: The Darkness return with their second album, 'One Way Ticket To Hell...And Back', released through Atlantic Records on November 29.

Everything you've heard is true. All of it. The exhaustion and the fear, the pressure, paranoia and pan pipes, the breakdowns and break-ups, the sackings, sitar solos and endless studio sessions, and now ultimately - with this, their second album - the rebirth and redemption of The Darkness.

'One Way Ticket To Hell... And Back' is the conclusion of a year-long journey from Lowestoft to London and from Monmouth to LA to prove to everyone (and themselves) just how utterly irrelevant every other band is right now. To create the album they simply had no choice but to make. To prove The Darkness are still the world's greatest band. [see full story for more]- Click Here for the Full Story
