We mentioned that the upcoming 7" from Modest Mouse would contain the newly-streaming "Autumn Beds" on one side and "Whale Song" on the other. Head over to Tripwire to hear the latter of the two and get your fill of previewing the tracks before the physical copy hits stores on June 23.

Dillinger Escape Plan reveal details on new imprint

Laila Hanson on 6/19/09 @ 1:07 PM

We mentioned that experimental unit Dillinger Escape Plan would be releasing their new album on their own imprint label. The band has confirmed that the new label will be called Party Smasher Inc. and will release their new record Option Paralysis in early 2010. They released the following statement about the imprint.

"We are creating an umbrella known as Party Smasher Inc.. that we will be putting out all of our future endeavors under. Our records, our shirts, our whatever the fucks....all of it is from now on coming out under that moniker. You'll see that on there no matter where or what it is, and that's how you'll know if something you are getting is really an official DEP release and not a copy, like on the limited shirts and limited other things that we are gonna be doing. That will be on there, and if you don't see it, on eBay or something, it's not legit."
