Interviews: Dan Vapid
Dan Vapid has been in all of your favorite pop-punk bands. He helped pioneer the snotty-but-sweet sound that made Screeching Weasels legendary, then helped reinvent that sound all over again with the Riverdales. The rest of his resume reads like your record collection – Sludgeworth, The Methadones, The Mopes, Noise By Numbers and his latest project, Dan Vapid and the Cheats. What started as a means for Vapid to play all the songs he'd written over the years quickly turned into a full-time band in its own right, spawning an album that brought together elements of all his previous bands while still sounding decidedly different. With a second record on the way this summer, staff interviewer Adam Eisenberg called Vapid up to talk about the new album, get the details on the upcoming Mopes reunion at Insubordination Fest and learn why sometimes, you've just got to start another band.

When you start a band you dream that one day you can do what you love with great friends and family around you. Now it all seems to have come full circle. With the good people at Outerloop Management, Sumerian Records and the Pantheon Agency we finally feel right at home. Every aspect of the group is being handled by long-time trusted friends and is in reliable hands. This safe haven has given us the shelter we need to put together a life-changing new album.

Crypt will also be releasing a new 10-inch featuring the band's 1992 demo. It's Tapeworm Blues and is due out the same day.

Media: Elway: "Prophetstown"
Alternative Press is streaming another new track from Fort Collins, CO's Elway. The song is titled "Prophetstown" and features vocals from Captain, We're Sinking's lead Leo Vergnetti. Tim Browne, Elway's frontman, had this to say about the song:
It's like a schizophrenic version of "The Boy Is Mine" by Monica and Brandy. Uhm. No wait… It's my spiteful, gloomy extrapolation of Shakespeare's "My tongue and soul in this be hypocrites." "Prophetstown" is a song about being torn between two things that you love which are in diametrical opposition to one another, being thereafter unable to reconcile the two and in turn resenting both. In my case, it's my friendship, home life, and comfort versus the prospect of playing in a punk band all over the world.
Check the song out here.
Media: Veara: "Growing Up Is Killing Me"
