Highly acclaimed Q Magazine called Common Existence bands "most consistent body of work to date" (4/5).   <br />

      <title>EVERY TIME I DIE SIGNS WITH EPITAPH RECORDS</title>
      <link>http://virb.com/epitaph/posts/text/1084450</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<i>Epitaph and Every Time I Die Make It Official</i><br />
<br />
Epitaph Records is proud to confirm the worst kept secret of 2009, the signing of one of hardcore-rock&apos;s most notorious bands <b>Every Time I Die</b>. With the ink on the contract barely dry, the band is eager to enter the studio this spring to record their debut for the label, which is expected for release this fall.   <br />
<br />
"To be given the opportunity to start anew after existing for over ten years in an environment that has chewed up and spit out most bands in a quarter of that time is nothing short of a miracle" says vocalist Keith Buckley.  "We are extremely honored and humbled by the faith that our new family at Epitaph has placed in us to continue writing music that is true to ourselves and true to our supporters. While most bands are looking for their 15 minutes of fame, <b>Every Time I Die</b> knows that Epitaph is the ONLY label where the soil is fertile enough for punk/rock bands to thrive on the ethics that got them started and we are proud to hang our hats within their walls. Our first Epitaph release will be recorded this spring with Steve Evetts and thus far is proving to capture the excitement of our new lease on life and the aggressive energy we are notorious for. See you in hell, otherwise known as the road. ETID"<br />
<br />
Buckley along with founding members Jordan Buckley (guitar), Andy Williams (guitar), Mike Novak and newcomer Josh Newton (bass) have been slinging their nasty brand of southern rock infused, sweat drenched metal for the past decade, releasing classic hardcore albums like Gutter Phenomenon, Hot Damn! and Big Dirty and touring the world over multiple times.   <br />
<br />
"Their brazenly original amalgam of rock 'n roll and ironic aesthetics always reminds me of LA&apos;s dangerous, burgeoning hardcore scene I grew up in," adds Epitaph owner Brett Gurewitz.  "Maybe that&apos;s why they&apos;ve long been my favorite contemporary American hardcore band.  Having the opportunity to work with them is a dream come true." <br />
<br />
Stay tuned for more information regarding <b>Every Time I Die</b> in the studio.]]></description>

<br />
America, brace yourself as the masters of Aussie metalcore Parkway Drive make their triumphant return for a blistering headlining spring tour and performances at Bamboozle and Bamboozle Left in support of the band&apos;s brutish sophomore album Horizons.

Parkway Drive first stormed the US metalcore scene in 2006 with their debut album Killing with a Smile, which was followed shortly-thereafter by 2007&apos;s critically heralded release Horizons.  "Strictly all-meat-no-filler metalcore" (All Music Guide), Horizons spawns a frenetic avalanche of sound with grinding math riffs, palpitating blast beats and haunting death growls.

      <title>VANNA UNVEIL A NEW HOPE IN MARCH</title>
      <link>http://virb.com/epitaph/posts/text/1060730</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<b>Post-hardcore Group To Release New Album In March And Launch US Tour</b><br />
<br />
Boston post-hardcore group Vanna will release their anticipated sophomore album, <i>A New Hope</i>, March 24th on Epitaph Records.  Produced and mixed by Steve Evetts (Every Time I Die, Our Last Night, Story of the Year) and mastered by Alan Douches (Converge), <i>A New Hope</i> emphasizes the band&apos;s heightened musical abilities, balancing a perfect blend of emotive rock and perilous hardcore with refined precession.  Fans can catch a preview of the new album this January as the band tours with Gwen Stacy.<br />
<br />
Since the release of Vanna&apos;s fan-favorite debut EP, <i>The Search Party Never Came</i>, and their follow-up full-length, <i>Curses</i>, the band has been on a continuous musical journey, evolving, exploring and maturing with each release and tour.  With the experience of using what works and letting go of what doesn&apos;t, the band tackled the writing and recording of <i>A New Hope</i> with an added perspective and understanding.<br />
<br />
"The writing and recording process naturally becomes more dialed and decisive with each record," explains lead vocalist Chris Preece.  "This record was approached with more of a group mentality. We talked a lot about what we liked and disliked about our last two releases, and each one of us were able to express ourselves in every step of the process.  We locked ourselves in our practice space for two months, everyone threw out song ideas, and the ideas were fleshed out into something that we were all happy with. All of our individual influences and inspirations played a big role creatively."<br />
<br />
Creativity abounds. <i>A New Hope</i> will grab Vanna&apos;s core fans with catchy songs fueled by intense breakdowns, while their accessible melodious song-writing will open the door to a new audience. <br />
<br />
Continually elevating their game, Vanna have raised the musical stakes with a bombardment of twelve tracks that invoke a deluge of sensations. Preece&apos;s guttural screams and Evan Pharmakis&apos; (guitarist/vocals) melodic choruses seamlessly duel on tracks like the epic post-hardcore anthem for the ages, "Safe To Say," and the sweeping hit "The Same Graceful Wind."  The fast, ferocious work of guitarist Nick Lambert, bassist Shawn Marquis and drummer Chris Campbell provide a wall of intense sound on tracks like "Thrashmouth" and "Life and Limb."<br />
<br />
Vanna&apos;s undying passion for creating and growing musically has resulted in one of the best post-hardcore releases in years.  Resistance is futile.  See Vanna this January and February on tour with Gwen Stacy and Our Last Night.<br />
<br />

      <title>BRING ME THE HORIZON UNLEASH NEW VIDEO AND TOUR ON US</title>
      <link>http://virb.com/epitaph/posts/text/1031445</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<b>UK&apos;s Biggest Metalcore Band Return To The US With A New Video And Rockstar Taste Of Chaos Tour</b><br />
<br />
The hottest metalcore band this side of the Thames, <b>Bring Me The Horizon</b>, have released a mutinous new video for their latest single, "Chelsea Smile," from their critically heralded new album, <b><i>Suicide Season</i></b>.  The video captures the band&apos;s larger-than-life personalities and outrageous antics perfectly in an insane house party that highlights the band&apos;s three favorite things -- booze, girls and maniacal music.  Sheer pandemonium ensues.   <br />
<br />
Watch "Chelsea Smile" here on <a href="http://www.myspace.com/bmth" target="_blank">Myspace</a>.<br />
<br />
"Chelsea Smile" begins with singer Oli Sykes&apos; scream, "I&apos;ve got a secret, it&apos;s on the tip of my tongue, it&apos;s on the back of my lungs, and I&apos;m, gonna keep it, I know something you don&apos;t know." While we may never know what that is, what isn&apos;t a secret is that <b>Bring Me The Horizon</b> are one of the hottest new bands to arrive in the US in a long time.  Definitely not for the faint of heart, the band&apos;s latest album, <b><i>Suicide Season</i></b>, is a deafening cocktail of blistering metallic riffs entwined gunfire drums and Sykes&apos; commanding vocals.  <br />
<br />
In support of "Chelsea Smile" and <b><i>Suicide Season</i></b>, <b>Bring Me The Horizon</b> will cross the pond to rain down destruction on the US with a main supporting slot on the Rockstar Taste Of Chaos Tour, which features Epitaph labelmates Thursday as the headliner.    <br />
<br />
<b>Bring Me The Horizon</b> are currently clawing out of the underground and into your kid&apos;s bedrooms, and it&apos;s too late to do anything about it.  So join the party this Feb/March as the band storms your town on the Rockstar Taste of Chaos Tour (dates listed below).<br />

      <title>Escape The Fate GET REVED UP WITH "SOMETHING"</title>
      <link>http://virb.com/epitaph/posts/text/1030066</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Las Vegas Rockers Unleash Video For New Single, "Something," In Anticipation Of Upcoming Headlining Tour<br />
<br />
Riotous rockers <b>Escape The Fate</b> premiered the video for their hot new single "Something," today on MTV2. The video will continue to air throughout the day on MTV2 and online at MTV2.com and MTVU.com.  The made-for-radio rock anthem&apos;s video was shot in downtown Los Angeles, and follows a twisted love story that ends in a cameo-filled drag race along the LA River.  <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.mtvu.com/music/music-featured/escape-the-fate-something/" target="_blank">"Something" Video Premiere on MTVU.com</a><br />
<br />
"Something" is an epic rock anthem featured on the band&apos;s new album, <b><i>This War Is Ours</i></b>, which Alternative Press called "a ticking time bomb of punk-rock attitude meeting real-life angst... that would make even the harshest of critics smile."  <br />
<br />
<b>Escape The Fate&apos;s</b> rise to the top has not been an easy one, including the essential rock elements of drugs, fights, and breakups, but they&apos;ve weathered and transcended the drama to emerge as one of rock&apos;s most buzzed about bands.  <b>Escape The Fate</b>&apos;s phenomenal online presence alone (over 31million Myspace plays) has catapulted the group to mainstage player status.<br />
<br />
In support of "Something" and This War Is Ours, <b>Escape The Fate</b> will embark on a six week headlining US tour with Black Tide, Attack Attack, William Control (Aiden) and Burn Halo, which kicks off at the Glass House in Pomona, California.  Tickets are on sale now.<br />

      <title>NEW FOUND GLORY WON'T GO DOWN WITHOUT A FIGHT</title>
      <link>http://virb.com/epitaph/posts/text/1017339</link>
      <description><![CDATA[<b>Undisputed Pop-Punk Champs New Found Glory Will Release New Album On March 10th </b><br />
<br />
Pop-punk&apos;s reigning champs, New Found Glory, come out swinging on their hotly anticipated new album, Not Without A Fight, due March 10th on Epitaph Records.  Defending their title against any and all contenders, the platinum-selling group&apos;s sixth studio album delivers a one-two knockout with fist-pumping hooks and catchy sing-along choruses. Working with producer Mark Hoppus (Motion City Soundtrack, The Matches) and mixer Neil Avron (Fall Out Boy) in their corner, NFG prove that challengers don&apos;t stand a chance.  <br />
<br />
In anticipation of the release, New Found Glory will kick off the Fight on January 6th with an album pre-sale, online video game and a weigh-in press conference that will be followed by - in true NFG fashion - hysterically funny training videos launching each week beginning January 22nd that will ultimately lead up to the main event:  a new music video for their first single "Listen To Your Friends."  <br />
<br />
New Found Glory have been slugging it out for over a decade alongside bands like Green Day and Blink 182, becoming one of the most celebrated pop-punk bands in the world.  Known for their trademark humor and fun loving attitude, the band&apos;s latest effort will bring smiles to fans&apos; faces once again.  <br />
<br />
The band&apos;s ability to consistently produce pop-punk favorites, album after album, has made New Found Glory a household name worldwide and Not Without A Fight raises the bar.  Comprised of everything fans have come to love about the band, from their bouncy head-bobbing riffs and gang vocals to sing-along choruses and lyrics everyone can relate to, the album delivers knockout blows with the pop anthems like "Listen To Your Friends" (available now for digital download here) and grooving tracks like "47," followed by the right hook "Truck Stop Blues," a song about love on the road.  <br />
<br />
New Found Glory goes twelve rounds on Not Without A Fight, putting listeners into submission with each track and reminding fans and bands why they are the reigning champs of pop-punk.  <br />
<br />
Stay tuned, New Found Glory will be bringing the Fight to a city near you soon!<br />
