Editors' Picks: The New Breed / Murder By Death

Adam: A big congratulations goes out from us at Punknews.org to Johnny from The New Breed, who tied the knot yesterday afternoon. While the frontman of the Halifax-based punks enjoys his first full day of marriage, you can enjoy some of his band's rock as our Mp3 Of The Week. "Born Against" is from their latest record Port City Rebels [review]. They have a sampling of their new material on their website as well, which I'll throw up a link too once it's back online.

Scott: So I'm currently out on the road following the Braid reunion tour around [Detroit tonight, London tomorrow - come out and say hi!], and I have to say that while Braid has blown me away 3 nights in a row, the show-stealer thus far has been Murder By Death. Last night in Chicago, there were even yells of "encore! encore!" as they finished their opening set. A rarity, to be sure. If you're unfamiliar with this band's gorgeous style of doom rock, check out an MP3:
