Hello everyone and welcome to Navel Gazing: your look back in the week in Punknews. I'm Bryne Yancey 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:
- Against Me! and Fat Wreck Chords will be teaming up to release a new collection entitled Total Clarity.
- Heartsounds has begun recording their second album, which is expected out later this year via Epitaph Records.
- Bill from Evil Weevil Records punked us into thinking that his label would be releasing Offspring LPs for Record Store Day, tearing our relationship apart like an old sweater.
- Rise Against unveiled another new song from Endgame, "Architects"
- The Swellers are recording their new album with Bill Stevenson.
- Lifetime, Bad Astronaut and Brendan Kelly were among the acts announced for the inaugural Pouzza Fest.
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 and we'll see you Monday morning.
