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:
- Screeching Weasel unveiled a stream of their first new album in 11 years, First World Manifesto
- Face To Face announced that their long-awaited new album, Laugh Now, Laugh Later, will be released in May. The group also detailed a tour in support of the album alongside Strung Out.
- No Sleep Records unveiled a slew of 2011 subscription packages.
- Elgin James of Righteous Jams was sentenced to a year in prison for an extortion scheme against Mest.
- Rise Against unveiled another new song from Endgame, "Satellite"
- Hot Water Music announced two more American dates in Milwaukee and Detroit.
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.
