Punknews' recent review for Title Fight's newest release Floral Green claimed their, "constant growth and reinvention has seen them become one of those unique bands that are hard to define, and musically and lyrically, they're right where they should be." There's no doubt that their dynamism has made them worthy of the following they've received over the last few years. Punknews.org interviewer Faye Turnbull sat with guitarist Shane Moran ahead of their show with La Dispute, Make Do and Mend and Into It. Over It. in London to talk about the new record, obscure tours, and their '90s love.

So far the highly influential punk hardcore band played 14 shows this year.

Tony Weinbender

Now in it's eleventh year, The Fest (you might be familiar with it) has over 300 bands and is the biggest it's ever been.

Astronautalis is a man in high demand. It has been just over a year since the release of his first autobiographical album, This Is Our Science and his managed to cram in at least three full tours, a project with Bon Iver's Justin Vernon and relocate to Minneapolis. Somewhere between juggling a million things he found time to sit down with Punknews Editor Rich Verducci and talk about his upcoming side projects, freestyling and his respect for Lady Gaga.

Keith Morris (Off!, The Circle Jerks, Black Flag)

Keith Morris is a man of many words- that is to say, he doesn't stop talking. But, who would want him to? A founder member of Black Flag, The Circle Jerks and Off!, Morris is basically an avatar hardcore punk. A man who was there in very, very, very beginning who now, thirty five years later, is putting out what might his best work to date.

Because Morris is a living history book, and because the Circle Jerks might not ever play again, filmmaker David Markey has put together an in depth retrospect of the Circle Jerks in the documentary My Career as a Jerk. To fully understand the lessons, staff writer John Gentile recently phones up Morris where they covered the end of the Circle Jerks, the beginning of the Circle Jerks, and the story behind Morris' famous dreadlocks.

Band on Band: PJ and Brian Bond

PJ Bond and Brian Bond aren't your average set of siblings. After years of playing in bands they have both embarked on solo musical endeavors, taking them around the world (often with little more than a bag and a guitar). In 2011 the brothers teamed up for the split Brother Bones/Baby Bones, which was released earlier this year on Black Number Records. In a special "Band on Band" the brothers sit down with Punknews to discuss vinyl, The Beatles and how they approach their craft.

They don't come much heavier and angst-ridden than Reign Supreme. Having been a bit quiet over the last couple of years, the Philly-natives are once again making their mark in the hardcore world. Punknews interviewer Faye Turnbull caught up with frontman Jay Pepito following their set at Hevy Fest in UK, Kent where they got talking about their priorities outside the band, their long-awaited new record, "breaking edge", and how the human race disgusts him.

Vales

Formed just over a year ago, UK melodic hardcore/screamo newcomers Vales have achieved a hell of a lot - having already released an EP, toured internationally, signed to 6131 Records, and with the band touring and recording in the US next year, their success doesn't appear to be grinding to a halt. Punknews interview Faye Turnbull caught up with the band ahead of their set at Hevy Fest in Kent, where they got talking about their accomplishments, a recent lawsuit which forced them to change their name and being part of the emerging 'UK swell' scene.
