Eastern Canada's the Short Fused has posted a song on their MySpace page. It's from their new 14–song full–length, which may or may not be out depending on who you ask.

Korean "thrash metal titans" Mahatma has posted "Painkiller" over at the Dope Entertainment MySpace page. It's taken from their new sophomore full–length, Perseverance. The veteran act's publicist warns that you "do some stretching before you play this because you might get hurt yourself [sic] for uncontrollable head banging [sic] that this album will surely give you." Some more songs can be heard at the band's own MySpace or purevolume pages, but we're unsure of where online waiver forms can be found.

Brooklyn pop–punks Young Hearts (Dear Tonight, ex–Saturday Supercade) has posted a new song from an upcoming four–song EP. You can check out "Backs to It" on their MySpace page. Two other songs from Release This Demo can also be found streaming there as well. The band is currently writing for their first full–length, whose title may or may not be less demanding.
