Intergalactic murder-muppets GWAR are back from doing the “No Sleep Til…” festival in Australia and New Zealand, where they rocked the outback with bands like NOFX and Megadeth, and are poised to finish up what has been a ridiculously busy year with a final spate of shows on the east coast of the U.S. The hardest-working band in show biz history is also treating their fans to a last round of inane yet idiotic appearances on the internet, doing their best to entertain and edify the masses with a variety of puerile delights.

Said front-thing Oderus Urungus, “reached” in a garbage dumpster behind a popular Battle Creek nightspot, “We did a Christmas special for Break.com, we tested the new Microsoft Kinnect for Game Informer, and my human slave even wrote a book about some good friends of ours. The only thing I regret is that I apparently can’t tell a Bantha from a Wampa!”

No Trigger is back in the saddle again gearing up for their long awaited sophomore record, their first in five years since the debut release of Canyoneer on Nitro Records. Starting in 2003, the Massachusetts band has gained recognition touring nationally and worldwide.

From playing the basements and legion halls of New England to overseas tours with Set Your Goals, A Wilhelm Scream, and Strike Anywhere; No Trigger have seen it all and have recently re-enlisted all of the band’s original members to put forth their newest material.

Sims, a Minnesota native and member of Minneapolis rap collective Doomtree (P.O.S., Dessa, Lazerbeak, Paper Tiger, Cecil Otter, and Mike Mictlan), is set to drop his second full length album Bad Time Zoo on February 15, 2011.  Whether performing solo or with one another, each member contributes a different approach to their music.  

Within the last few years, all have taken their turn stepping into the spotlight to demonstrate their individual talents.  Now it’s Sims’ turn to showcase it all when Bad Time Zoo is released on the collective’s own label, Doomtree Records.

Saving Abel have added new tour dates to their schedule continuing on with Hinder for one of the best touring packages this winter.

“All of us in Saving Abel are excited about continuing to tour with Hinder,” remarked lead singer Jared Weeks.  “This whole tour is one hell of a package.  So many great bands with great shows, we should make a habit outta this!  Come to the show and get your faces melted off.  It’s cold in January but this tour is Hot, Hot Hot!”
