Sunday Edition: August 1st, 2010

Hello everybody and welcome to Navel Gazing: your look back at the week in Punknews. I'm Adam White and I'll be your guide through some of the most popular, notable, and otherwise attention getting stories of the past seven days. Each and every Punknews story is built from tips contributed by you fine folks, and here's what got the community talking this week:

• Bad Religion is hitting the road to support their upcoming full length with The Bouncing Souls and Off With Their Heads. The band also detailed their new full length The Dissent of Man.
• The Fest 9 website launched with full confirmation on the lineups and with lineups and ticket details. The annual beard convention will feature many bands including Chris Wollard and The Ship Thieves, Frank Turner, The Menzingers, Planes Mistaken For Stars, Dear Landlord and Leatherface.
• The guitarist of Oh, Sleeper wrote a candid piece on band finances and the financial challenges that "mid-level" bands face.
• Sound and Fury Festival was shut down following a riot.
• We're all pretty excited to hear that a new Bomb the Music Industry! record is on the way.
• Fat Wreck Chords is set to reissue Banner Pilot's Resignation Day in a remastered, resequenced form.

With that we hand over this Sunday evening to you, the Punknews community. From that glorious, likely bearded rabble we've see the creation of everything from message boards and Punknews fantasy sports leagues to even a band or two. So talk amongst yourselves and we'll see you Monday...
