Hot & Heavy? |
CMJ reports: For Hot Hot Heat, there's no
better time than the steamy summer to turn the temperatue up in the studio.
Now in the hands of Rich Costey (Muse, Bloc Party, Franz Ferdinand) for
the final stages of mixing and fine-tuning, their latest full-length is
scheduled to be released in September on Sire. According to frontman Steve
Bays, the British Columbians have tweaked their sound for their new release.
This time, listeners can look forward to a grittier and more aggressive
sound than the light-hearted and poppy hooks found on Elevator or Make

| He
Is Legend DeWarped |
Day in Rock reports: He Is Legend have decided
to pull the plug on their Warped Tour plans. Here is a statement posted
on their MySpace: We are sorry to inform you that we have cancelled our
Warped Tour dates. To be completely honest there are many reasons why this
came about. Our bus situation fell through and our van and trailer could
not be fixed in time to do the tour. Also, our brains fell through and
we feel like they can't be fixed on Warped Tour. It wasnt wise financially
for us to go in a bus by our lonesome and not physically or mentally safe
to go in our van at this point in time. Over the last year we have put
ourselves in a lot of trying and stressful situations. In our personal
and professional opinions we feel as though, for the good of the band,
it would be in our best interest to stay off of the road for a little while
longer. We know this is last minute and upsetting to all of our supporters,
but we feel that with the upcoming tours and our new record coming out
in the fall, that this is the best way for us to continue to be the best
band ever & to continue to be that throughout the years to come. We
would like to apologize to the fans looking forward to seeing our show
and we promise that we will make it up to you in the near future.-
