Keith Buckley (Every Time I Die)

Every Time I Die may have released their most recent album for Epitaph Records, Ex Lives, over a year ago, but they've been hard at work since, touring anywhere they can and with an eclectic stable of bands from Hatebreed to New Found Glory. The band's tour itinerary includes the recently completed All Stars tour along with Terror, Iwrestledabearonce, and many more. Punknews staff interviewer Gregg Harrington spoke with Every Time I Die vocalist Keith Buckley about the tour and what the band has been up to in support of Ex Lives.

Jamin Marshall (Larry and His Flask)

Larry and His Flask have been rocking the world for over 10 years with their eclectic take on folk music. The band has adding punk rock energy to the genre-inspired beats to craft a sound all their own. In a few short weeks the band will be setting out on a long slew of dates which will take them across the U.S. opening for Murder By Death.

Contributing editor Armando Olivas was able to chat with drummer and co-founder of the group, Jamin, at length on several topics. The two had a lively discussion about how the band is able to look so dapper on a day-to-day basis, their love of guerrilla street performances, and the love of Jenny Owen Youngs.

Tetsuya Fukagawa (Envy)

Envy, though dominant in their talent as musicians, are a difficult band to categorize. What is more profound about this is that Envy have produced nothing but stellar, unrefined (post-) hardcore for 20 years. No matter what stage of their time together, Envy have been able to craft a perfect output of what they felt as a whole. The prolific group have released nearly two dozen albums, singles and splits with groups like like This Machine Kills, Endeavor, Six Pence and Yaphet Kotto. Now, to celebrate their evolution of 20 years, Invariable Will, Recurring Ebbs and Flows has been released by Temporary Residence to showcase their relentless labor. Through e-mail, we had the opportunity to catch up with the band for an aphoristic interview. The questions were composed by Copy Editor Amelia Cline and answered by Envy's Tetsuya Fukagawa.

Chris “Cmar” Martin (Hostage Calm)

Fresh off of a tour with Less than Jake and gearing up for Riot Fest and a seven week jaunt with Saves the Day, Connecticut's Hostage Calm doesn't seem to slow down. With three full-lengths under their belt, they've spanned genres from hardcore to pop. Punknews interviewer Stephanie Thornton talked to vocalist Chris "Cmar" Martin about comparisons that can be drawn to upcoming tourmates Saves the Day, socio-political activism and perhaps why punk bands aren't more vocal about political issues these days, youth crew hardcore within the US and abroad, and not to mention how great Crime in Stereo's The Troubled Stateside is.

Steve Ciolek (The Sidekicks)

Over the past six years The Sidekicks have put out three full-length albums as well as a handful of splits & EPs - they show no sign of slowing down. The band is currently on tour with Hop Along which will last about two weeks after which they will join up with the The Gaslight Anthem for a short run across the East Coast.

Their last release was Awkward Breeds which was released in February of 2012. The band is currently working on new material set to be released sometime next year. Contributing editor Armando Olivas was able to sit down with lead singer and guitarist, Steve, to discuss a plethora of topics including, but not limited to, leather jackets, college, The Fest , and Elvis Costello.

Dog Party

If you ain't hip to Dog Party yet, you need to get hip to Dog Party. Composed of sisters Gwendolyn and Lucy Giles, (both of whom aren't even out of high school yet) Dog Party takes one and a half chords from the Ramones songbook and one and a half chords from classic LA punk and then just completely rocks the hell out. Seriously. These gals kick out the jams.

Even though they aren't even old enough to buy cigarettes, the girls just released their THIRD album on Asian Man Records, called Lost Control. It is about their dog and it is wonderful. But, quite masterfully, like their other songs, the song is written in such a way that when really chewed over, is as mature a statement as one by a rock and roller that has been in the biz for decades. (Honestly, it's so well written that I thought it was along the lines of Joy Divison's somber "She's lost control.")

In order to get the scoop on this rising band, Punknews contributing editor John Gentile spoke to the girls about the new album, being mentored by Kepi Ghoulie, and how to start beefs with just two minutes and three chords.

Ryan Morgan (Misery Signals)

Midwest metalcore group Misery Signals recently released their first new album since 2008's Controller. Since then, members have worked on other projects, joined, quit, rejoined, and crafted the new album Absent Light (released July 30, 2013), the band's first self-released full-length record. The band launched a successful crowdsourcing campaign which doubled their target goal, and used the proceeds to produce and release the album themselves. Punknews staff interviewer Gregg Harrington recently talked to Misery Signals guitarist Ryan Morgan about the band's history, crowdsourcing and working on both sides of Absent Light.

Zach Lind (Jimmy Eat World)

Having just released their eighth studio album Damage, Jimmy Eat World returned to the road on a North American tour to play a mix of songs, both new and old, for fans across the country. Punknews interviewer Jason Epstein spoke to Jimmy Eat World drummer Zach Lind about Damage, touring and the way that albums and songs age.

Blag Dahlia (The Dwarves)

The Dwarves call themselves "Rock Legends." They've never played Madison Square Garden but they have done a lot of drugs, beat up a lot of dudes, and banged a lot of girls. Also, they make some really kickass punk rock that ranges from hardcore to pop-punk to whacked-out pschadelic-electro-hop(?). So, if you want to evaluate whether the claim is true, you have to investigate what "rock and roll" truly is.

That's exactly what The Dwarves" have been doing for over 25 years. On their seminal Blood Guts & Pussy they reduced rock down to its three primordial driving factors via minute-long hardcore bursts. Their latest album, The Dwarves Are Born Again found them continuing the study, albeit through different filters of electro, classic punk, and teeny bop music.

Yet, their detractors label them as sexist meatheads. Meanwhile, their supporters argue that The Dwarves represent the human drive itself- the id manifest. To understand this thing called The Dwarves, Punknews editor John Gentile spoke to founding Dwarves member Blag Dahlia about his three favorite topics.

Dylan Mattheisen (Tiny Moving Parts)

Although Tiny Moving Parts have been together for about five years the band is just now releasing their debut album This Couch Is Long & Full of Friendship via a joint collaboration between Kind of Like Records and Black Numbers Records.

The band is currently set to tour with The Front Bottoms starting today and will be playing The Fest in Gainesville, not to mention several tours in the works. The band has is illustrating with this new record that they've hit the ground running and they aren't stopping anytime soon. Hit Read More to catch Punknews contributing editor Armando Olivious chat Dylan Matheison about what it's like to be related to one another, touring with The Front Bottoms and the band's influences.

Joey Cape (Scorpios)

"Do you have any coffee," Joey Cape asks, squinting at the long rows of bottles behind the bar at the Media Club in Vancouver.

"No, sorry - we have lots of booze though," the bartender replies with a laugh.

Joey rubs his now slightly graying beard, looking defeated.

"No dude…I need some coffee."

The woman behind the bar shrugs.

The Lagwagon singer had just gotten off the road after driving more than five hours from Portland with his other band, Scorpios, an acoustic troupe made up of Drag the River's Jon Snodgrass and piano player Brian Whalstrom. This is the first Scorpios tour without No Use For A Name's Tony Sly, who passed away jarringly last August. The band is back on the road to pay homage to their fallen friend touring across Canada and the U.S., performing mellowed versions of songs from all respective bands as well as tracks from the Scorpios' 2011 album.

Still a bit melancholy about losing his good friend, but optimistic about the music ahead, the ever-affable Joey Cape sat down with Punknews interviewer Gen Handley to talk about his relationship with Tony and what the No Use singer left behind, when we can hear some new Lagwagon and the status of Me First and the Gimme Gimmes.
