Ever thought "Man, I'd like to see 7 Seconds, Face to Face, The Jesus Lizard, Ratatat, Of Montreal, Les Savy Fav, Mission Of Burma, Lucero, Death, No Age, Red Sparowes, Fuck Buttons, Underground Railroad To Candyland, Off with Their Heads, Pharcyde, Danzig, Gorilla Biscuits, Fucked Up, Melt Banana, Coalesce, Street Dogs, GZA, King Khan & BBQ Show, Cedric Burnside and a million other bands all in one weekend?" Well if you did, then you were probably thinking of hitting this year's FUN FUN FUN Fest in Austin the weekend of November 7th. What's cooler than a festival like this? Getting to go for free. On the real. So, after consulting with the organizers, we decided you needed to work just a little harder than normal for this. So here's the deal: you think of the best name for a fest you can possibly imagine and then drop it in our comments or if you're so inclined, hit us up with it on Twitter: @Punknews. Come up with the best name - make us laugh, cry, recoil in disgust or perhaps pee our pants in horror - and you and a friend will get weekend passes to the event! So go for it!
With Paper and Plastick set to release My Roaring Twenties, we've got two rare test presses from Cheap Girls to give away. One for the new album, and one for their previous full length, Find Me a Drink Home.
This Friday, Foundation will mark the upcoming release of their new EP, Let It Roll, with a record release show. The EP is set to drop October 27, as a digital-only release.

The iTunes release will only have four songs.
Also at the show will be the debut of Freeman, the new band featuring several members of Avail, playing music similar to their prior band's Dixie-era.
We're giving away a pair of tickets to one lucky winner, including a Foundation t-shirt and a copy of their prior release, Chimborazo on vinyl. The show will be this Friday, October 9th, at the Canal Club in Richmond, VA.
