Sunday Edition: April 7, 2013
Hello everyone and welcome to Navel Gazing: your look back in the week in Punknews. I'm Brittany Strummer and I'll be your guide through some of the juiciest, most popular and otherwise noteworthy stories from the last seven days. Remember, every Punknews story is built from tips from our wonderful, good-looking readers, so get to submitting. Here's what got the strange, slow and old community talking this week:
- The Gaslight Anthem's Brian Fallon discussed his recent song writing for a solo project. Meanwhile The Gaslight Anthem revealed plans for a singles collection box set.
- Boston police have been going undercover on social media sites to fight DIY punk shows.
- We tallied your favorite records from March with Off With Their Heads leading the pack.
- Alkaline Trio's Matt Skiba expressed his strong distaste for The Spin Doctors' "Two Princes".
- Manchester police announced that they would define attacks on punks and goths as hate crimes.
- Modern Life is War announced their return.
- The Menzingers, Fake Problems, Restorations, and Captain, We're Sinking announced a tour together.
With that, we hand over this Sunday evening to the Punknews community, where anything is possible, from the next amusing-then-overwrought meme, to the creation of bands and message boards, to alienating sports chatter. So talk amongst yourselves, spin some tracks in the Navel Gazing turntable.fm room and we'll see you Monday morning.
