The record is titled On The Cover II and is due out March 10, 2009. It is the follow up to 2007's Secret Weapon and the "sequel" to 1995's On the Cover. As expected, the album will feature a new batch of covers including songs by U2, Belinda Carlisle, The Go-Go's, Poison and many more. lydiash Mon, 05 Jan 2009 22:00:48 +0000 http://www.showpopr.com/MxPx_set_release_date_art_for_next_full_length http://www.showpopr.com/MxPx_set_release_date_art_for_next_full_length Less then 1% of all records that are made in the world sell more then 1,000 copies. An album that sells 200,000 copies makes the label between 1 million dollars and 1.4 million dollars. So now imagine calling an album that sells 700k copies a flop. If you can’t turn a profit on that, then it’s probably not the bands fault for “only” selling 200k. Maybe it’s time for a new business model. heavensent Mon, 05 Jan 2009 18:52:06 +0000 http://www.showpopr.com/Anthony_Raneri_of_Bayside_responds_to_Biggest_Flops_of_2008 http://www.showpopr.com/Anthony_Raneri_of_Bayside_responds_to_Biggest_Flops_of_2008 New Bedford, Massachusetts' A Wilhelm Scream ended 2008 by unveiling an unreleased, unmastered song titled "The I Hate ___ Club." It comes from the sessions for 2007's Career Suicide. Before their winter break the band finished drum and bass demos for five new songs. Guitarist Trevor Reilly commented that the songs are "fast, lengthy and cocky sounding."
