F*?k Yeah! Fest

Next week, Los Angeles will play host to the third annual Fuck Yeah Fest. The event was curated by Keith Morris (Black Flag, Circle Jerks) and will take place in August 19th and 20th. In addition to musical performances, the fest will also feature a stand up comedy show organized by Jonah Ray and an art show with the work of fifty artists and photographers.

The lineup runs the gamut from bands like Envy and Darker My Love to Chuck Ragan from Hot Water Music and the Bronx. To celebrate this impressive assembly of bands, Fuck Yeah Fest has, under some duress, agreed to give away some tickets and other miscellaneous Swag (tm) to a few lucky Punknews.org readers.

Epitaph summer winners

The winners of our Epitaph Records summer music contest have been drawn. Congratulations to:

Brittany B. of Everson, WA
Yvonne H. of Largo, FL
Matt W. of Cleveland, OH

Our winners will take home copies of Raised Fist's Sound of the Republic, the Bouncing Souls' The Gold Record and the 5th edition of the Give em the Boot series along with some new threads. Thanks to everyone who entered!

The Bronx (Ouija Board)

Despite our obvious love of instruments and high tech gizmos, one thing we always love giving away is weird, unique swag. In this case, our friends in The Bronx want to celebrate the release of their Island Records debut, The Bronx by giving two lucky winners the most accursed of prizes.

That's right, we're giving away two Ouija Boards! And not just any Ouija Board, but unique Bronx-themed boards that coincide with the artwork of their album. It's all quite remarkable, and you can use it to speak with the devil, or at least the ghost of Abe Lincoln if he's busy.

Dead To Me

Dead To Me recently released their new album Cuban Ballerina on Fat Wreck Chords. To celebrate the band and label are giving away a few prize packs to some lucky Punknews readers. The grand prize winner will even get their hands on some super secret vegan recipe's straight from the kitchen of Dead To Me's Chicken.

Underoath (30GB iPod)

Let me clue you in on something for a second; it turns out these Apple iPod's are pretty hot these days. You can put music on them, and then carry said music around with you. It's quite remarkable.

In other news, Underoath recently released a new full length, Define the Great Line, which, according to our reviewer, is an album that is both "sincere" and "ambitious."

How are these two seemingly disparate things related you ask? Well, it turns out that Underoath would like to give you an iPod. See how that all tied together? Cool, right? Besides the iPod, the band and label are providing an Underoath Prize Pack, which will probably go pretty nicely with that new iPod.

Win the Lujo Records Discography

Hailing from the nation's capital by way of Louisiana, and now in their fifth official year of genuinely independent existence, Lujo Records has amassed a celebrated and diverse catalog of releases spanning from bone crushing hardcore to lush, atmospheric pop.

Fortunately for you, label owners Erik Aucoin and Jocelyn Towers have decided to give away a copy of everything the label has ever pressed to one lucky winner. Representing artists such as Roy, The Fall of Troy, Suffering and the Hideous Thieves, Baby Teeth, The Dark Romantics, Drugstore Cowboys, In Praise of Folly, Coho, and Silence The Foe, we're assuming you're now foaming at the mouth.

Helmet (Signed Guitar)

Tomorrow, Helmet will be releasing their first record for Warcon Enterprises. The record is their first since 2004's Size Matters and the latest in a series of highly influential records. For the record, the band aimed for a return to their classic sound, and worked with Strap It On and Meantime collaborator Wharton Tiers.

To celebrate this latest record, the band has decided to give away signed a custom Page Hamilton Signature series ESP guitar and all you have to do to get your name in the running is visit this page before August 15th.

You can see the band on the Warped Tour all summer.

Panic winner

Our Panic contest has come to a close. The winner of the certifiable ton of swag is:

Jennifer M. of New York, NY

Congratulations to Jennifer, and be sure to look out for future opportunities to win. Thanks to Reflections Records for hooking up the prizes.

Rx Bandits

In case you hadn't heard, the RX Bandits' newest album, …And The Battle Begun, is set to be released in just a few months. To celebrate, the band has graciously offered up free tickets to a couple of their upcoming shows to four pairs of Punknews.org readers.

There are two shows to pick from: the first is on July 28th at The Glasshouse in Pomona, California and the second is on the 30th at the Henry Fonda Theater in Los Angeles, California. We've got two pairs of tickets to give away to each of these shows and each pair will receive a free copy of the new album as well as a limited edition tour poster signed by the Bandits.

The North Atlantic

This week San Diego, CA's North Atlantic finally saw the wide release of their full length, Wires in the Walls through WPO Records.

To celebrate that release, the band would like to give a lucky Punknews.org reader a special copy of the album with handmade artwork, an autographed poster and package of pins.
