Lifetime released Lifetime this week. It is their first new studio record since 1997's Jersey's Best Dancers

Editor's note from Chris: I will also be interviewing Dan and Lifetime later this week, so if you have something that you're dying for Mr. Yemin to answer, clarify or explain, post away below.

So I just got home after a 13-hour workday and a late-night Paint It
Black practice. I'm pretty sick after hanging out with my 2-year-old nephew
last weekend (he had bronchitis or something, but it was worth getting sick
just to spend time with him, I adore that kid). I feel like hell but as I
sat down to eat some sad excuse for a dinner and check my email,

I realized
that it's Tuesday, February 6th, and our new fucking record comes out
today! We've been waiting so long, and I'm so impatient, that I've had to
put it out of my head almost entirely for the past month. Whatever, its
late and I'm exhausted and sick, but I'm too excited to sleep right now. I
love this album, and I can't wait for everyone else to hear it. I'm also
super stoked to play some of these songs live. We're playing a bunch of
shows this month, and hopefully you can come out and join us.

This weekend we hit D.C., NYC, and Boston. The punk rock sideshow
freaks known as WORLD/INFERNO FRIENDSHIP SOCIETY will be joining us every
night, which is awesome, expect total carnival chaos. Friday in DC
GOVERNMENT WARNING will be opening the show. They're one of the best new
hardcore bands in the country. If you love Minor Threat you will love this
band. If you don't love Minor Threat, you should probably stop reading this
right now. Saturday in NYC local boys CRIME IN STEREO will be starting
things off with their powerful and anthemic melodic HC. Great guys and a
great band. In Boston on Sunday, Richmond VA's own CLOAK/DAGGER are
opening. A great band formed from the ashes of Count Me Out and Trial By
Fire, these guys sound like the Circle Jerks and to me that is the highest
of all possible compliments.

The following weekend we'll be playing in California (Anaheim,
Hollywood, and San Francisco). Seattle's SHOOK ONES, the current
frontrunners bearing the melodic hardcore torch, will be playing every
night. They opened for PIB on our last West Coast tour and were some of the
most fun people to play with and hang out with. L.A.'s own MIKA MIKO will
be joining us for the SoCal shows, and I'm super excited. I've never seen
them live, but their album made my top ten list for 2006. They stir up
memories of the glory days of Kill Rock Stars when Bikini Kill first put us
boys in our place. Last but not least, NorCal's Set Your Goals will bring
their dual-vocal dual-guitar assault the San Francisco show.
Anyway. New Album!!! Yes! New shows!!! Yes! Great Bands!!! Yes!
Sleep!!! Yes! See you this weekend.
