New Jimmy Eat World Website
Check out the new Website at http://www.jimmyeatworld.com
It has to be one of the best artist sites I have seen. I love how they added some various social book marks to their blog section.
According to the new Jimmy Eat World site the video for Big Casino has already been shot and edited and will be debuting soon.

The Sound Of Animals Fighting...Sign To Epitaph
The Sound Of Animals Fighting have signed to Epitaph Records.
Via Their Myspace
Friends and Fans,
After one album, a reissue of our first EP, and a live DVD (three very special releases to us), we bring you the latest newsflash: our third album will be released on the pioneering and long-established Epitaph Records. We were extremely blessed to have had the opportunities provided for us by Equal Vision Records for the aforementioned releases, and could not have been happier there. The label and staff remain friends, and we will continue to work closely with them to make sure our merchandise is available to all of you. This third record coming out on Epitaph simply gives us a chance to reach new channels and new faces, which, ultimately, will work in everyone's favor, as you and we continue to grow, while simultaneously maintaining the independent ethics so important to us. Thank you for your ongoing support, and, as always, believe nothing you hear unless it comes straight from us. We are excited for the ongoing future of this incredibly cathartic project.
Cheers,
The Nightingale

Relient K Also Loses A Band Member
Dave Douglas Drummer and Singer will be leaving Relient K after 7 years with the band.
From their Website
I know that there have been some rumors and speculation about my future in Relient K. I suppose I should clear that up. The time has, in fact, come for me to leave the band. This has been a very difficult decision, but I know that this is the right one. Relient K has been a huge part of my life and I'm sure that it is going to take a long time to get used to not being a part of the band any more. I've had a lot of good times, met a lot of great people, and been able to go a lot of places. it's been a blessing and a pleasure to work with Matt, Matt, John, and Jon. Also, I want to thank everyone else who has been involved with the band, especially those who have been on the road with us. Our fans are amazing and I want to thank all of you for your support and enthusiasm.
I am moving on to new music projects, and I hope that I will still have all of your support. Come the first of the year I will be devoting most of my time to Gypsy Parade . Feel free to look us up and say hi. Until then I will playing with Relient K, so I've got a few more shows left in me. I suppose that this is my "farewell tour." hopefully I, and the rest of Relient K, will see you at one of them.
Thanks to all of you.
What's up all these band members leaving?

Serj Tankian short films
SHORT FILMS CREATED FOR TRACKS ON SERJ TANKIAN'S SOLO ALBUM - ELECT THE DEAD - TO BE SCREENED IN MOVIE THEATERS ACROSS THE U.S. ON OCTOBER 22ND
on October 23rd to Benefit Axis Of Justice
OCTOBER 18, 2007 - Burbank, CA - Earlier this year, Serj Tankian - the visionary frontman for multi-platinum rock band System Of A Down - asked a collection of video and film directors, painters, and digital artists to each create a video for one of the 12 tracks on his forthcoming solo debut album, “Elect the Dead,” which will be released on Serjical Strike/Reprise Records on October 23rd.
The directors involved in the video project include a prestigious array of artists whom Tankian has befriended over the last decade. They include music video director Tony Petrossian (Taking Back Sunday, Slipknot, Avenged Sevenfold), who shot the video for "Empty Walls," the first single from “Elect The Dead,” photographer/video director Greg Watermann (Mudvayne, Lamb of God, Howie Day), Oscar-nominated Puerto Rican playwright and screenwriter Jose Rivera (“The Motorcycle Diaries”), digital artist Roger Kupelian (“The Lord of the Rings,” “Flags of Our Fathers”), documentary director Sevag Vrej (System Of A Down, Fair To Midland), short film/music video director Adam Egypt Mortimer (Against Me!, Idiot Pilot) and Beirut-born filmmaker Gariné Torossian (Sparklehorse), among others.
"I asked each of the directors for their visual interpretation of my work," Tankian explains. "They were asked not to write treatments and that they could make whatever they liked. The results have been overwhelmingly amazing!"
Among the videos posted on Tankian’s website www.serjtankian.com
is an animated clip for the song “The Unthinking Majority” by filmmaker/video director Tawd Dorenfeld. Also available for viewing on the website are the videos for “Empty Walls” and “Saving Us”.
To celebrate the artistic collaboration of the music and visual interpretations of Serj Tankian’s solo album, Reprise Records and Serjical Strike, in conjunction with digital cinema/music marketing company D&E Entertainment (www.DandEentertainment.com), will screen the videos of “Elect The Dead” back-to-back, accompanied by an introduction by Tankian at movie theaters across the nation at 8pm on Monday, October 22nd. This unique experience on the eve of album release offers fans a preview of “Elect The Dead” in a premium listening and visual environment. A special screening event on the October 23rd album release date will take place in Los Angeles with Tankian in attendance.
Special screenings of “Elect The Dead - The Short Films” will be held at 8pm on Monday, October 22nd at the following locations:
Long Island, NY: Herricks Cinema
Parsippany, NJ: Parsippany Cinema
San Francisco, CA: Embarcadero Center Cinema

To usher in the release date on Tuesday, October 23rd, Serj Tankian will attend a 9pm screening that evening of “Elect The Dead – The Short Films” in Los Angeles at the Vista Theater (4473 Sunset Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90027). Starting at 7:30pm on October 23rd, the first 300 people in line at the box office to buy tickets for the 9pm showing will be able to have their CDs autographed by Serj after the show. Lining up at the Vista Theatre before is 7:30pm is prohibited. Copies of “Elect The Dead” will be available for sale at the Vista Theater that night, along with a free poster for every CD purchased.

Victory Records 2007 Tour!
Victory Records, the #1 independent rock label in the country, in conjunction with Bookoo Energy Drink, is proud to announce a knockout lineup of exciting acts on this year’s Victory Tour. Going across the States this October-December, label giants BAYSIDE will share the stage with JUNE, THE SLEEPING, A DAY TO REMEMBER, and DRIVER SIDE IMPACT.
The Victory Tour, which had its inaugural run in 2002, has featured such acts in the past as Taking Back Sunday, Silverstein, Hawthorne Heights and more. With 37 dates scheduled nationally this year, rabid Victory fans everywhere will flock to venues across the country. The tour will kick-off on October 25th in Baltimore, wrapping up December 8th in Asbury Park, N.J.
Five different bands, five different stories…one label. One of Victory’s most recent signings, Cleveland’s DRIVER SIDE IMPACT are set to kick off the night. As the Victory Records “newbies,” this energetic bunch is sure to win over the hearts of the already Victory loyal. Chicago natives JUNE will undoubtedly give show attendees a healthy dose of pure pop-rock bliss, as only a spirited group of dedicated Midwesterners can. Show-goers will have the opportunity to “pop mosh” with Ocala, Florida’s A DAY TO REMEMBER, an intensely satisfying experience for all who try it. And the great state of New York is represented twice on this tour, first by the widely awake, in-your-face Long Islander’s THE SLEEPING and of course, the tour headliners-the always extraordinary BAYSIDE, also hailing from Long Island.
Clearly, there is something for everyone at this year’s Victory Tour.
