Blabbermouth reports: Santa Cruz, California-based
death metallers DECREPIT BIRTH have issued the following update:
"We would like to thank everyone who made
the Bloodletting 5 tour a great success for us
Some of you might have
heard of our guitarist Mike Turner's small ordeal at the Canadian border.
We just wanted to let you all know that Mike did spend the weekend in a
Canadian jail due to multiple attempts to cross the border into Canada.
He was really disappointed about not making it across the border because
he really wanted to get a chance to play in Canada. Despite the absence
of Mike, the Canadian shows turned out to be a big success for DECREPIT
BIRTH, and we can't wait to get back up there. Next time we'll make sure
that Mike can make it out there with us."[see full story for more]-

Solo Details |
PR reports: Chris Cornell, the singer-songwriter
who brought us Soundgarden, Audioslave and Temple of the Dog, has announced
the 13th album of his career. Working with Grammy Award-winning British
super-producer Steve Lillywhite (U2, Rolling Stones, Morrissey, Dave Matthews
Band), pre-production on the album has already begun, recording will being
in September and the album is set for an early 2007 release on Interscope
Records.
Cornell, inspired by songwriters from Elvis
Costello to Bruce Springsteen, says that his own lyrical approach leans
on stream-of-consciousness, "getting out of my own way" to allow themes
to naturally arise, whether topical or biographical. "The most exciting
thing is to let yourself expose your true, vulnerable feelings, which is
what resonates with people most," he explains. As far as his vocal style,
he points to such R&B singers as Otis Redding and Aretha Franklin for
showing masterfully how emotion can best be conveyed, even in subtle phrasing,
also praising Bob Marley's expressive range and Tom Waits' use of his voice
as an instrument.- Click

Day No Longer Idiots |
punkbands reports: Maybe it will be with delight
or dismay that a slew of 12-year-old screaming fans react... either way,
Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong has announced that their "American
Idiot era" has ended for the group. This month, they will be returning
to the creative process to invent new material for their upcoming album.
"We always share everything that we're
doing," Armstrong told Billboard.com. "Right now, it's a lot of writing
for ourselves and it's staying right there for right now and then [we'll]
start to put the puzzle together and then try to up the ante a little bit."[see
