Hurley.com has just posted a stream of The Riot Before’s new album “Rebellion,” which will be released on LP and digitally through the band’s new home, Paper + Plastick on April 27th. The record is already available for digital purchase via iTunes.

“Rebellion” was tracked at The Magpie Cage in Washington, DC with legendary producer J. Robbins (Jawbox, Jawbreaker, Against Me!).

The Riot Before recently returned from a tour with label mates Cheap Girls and will be performing at Rad Fest in May.

Chicago’s CoCoComa recently performed a show in Chicago and a date in Milwaukee for Stumblurfest. You can check out live footage from both sets here.

The band continues to play select regional shows to support their recent album “Things Are Not All Right,” released by Memphis’s Goner Records. They also are currently planning a full European tour in Jan/Feb 2010. Dates for that tour will be announced soon.

CoCoComa regional shows:
12/4 – Detroit, MI @ PJ’s Lager House
12/12 – Chicago, IL @ Bloodline Speakeasy

CoCoComa recently performed “It Won’t Be Long” on the notoriously hip children’s dance show Chic-A-Go-Go. The taping was for the show’s Halloween Party special that aired October 27th and 28th on local Chicago channel 19. You can check out the performance here.

The A.V. Club Chicago also recently ran an interview with Bill and Lisa Roe, the husband and wife team behind CoCoComa and founders of a new label, Trouble In Mind, which puts out 7-inch singles from garage-rock bands like White Wires, Fresh & Onlys, and Sonic Chicken 4. The A.V. Club sat down with Bill and Lisa to talk about their new album, starting a record label, and the birth of their now 6-month-old child, Ronnie Roe, who appears in the video dressed like a hot dog.

Indierockreviews.com continues to run an exclusive stream of “Things Are Not All Right.” You can check out the album here.

The album has already garnered considerable praise from critics, some of whom have said:

“Forget blitzkriegs, CoCoComa’s Things Are Not All Right is the real all-out assault […]This is garage rock on an entirely new and bountiful level. Blink and you might miss the drunken genius of Cococoma, but take them in and you’ll probably be left blinking in surprise for days anyway.” – Skope

“Things Are Not All Right bursts with simple, well-crafted tunes that walk a fine edge between sweet and sour; garage and glam; gritty and glossy. They’re delivered with an urgency and directness that practically dares other bands to come up with something so impossibly simple and dead on.” – Dusted

“Simply put: this record is at once both a riot and thoughtful. Now, fun is not something typically associated with ‘mature’ songwriting. But CoCoComa has managed to record these ten tracks with a youthfulness that gives life to their adult writing perspective. They keep the formula simple and the hooks catchy.” – Buddyhead

This week marks the release date of the highly anticipated album from Virginia’s Worn In Red, entitled “In The Offing.” To celebrate their new addition to the family, the band’s new home, No Idea Records, has launched a media player where you can stream “In The Offing” in its entirety.

You can check out the stream on the front page of the No Idea Records website.

Worn In Red hail from Charlottesville/Richmond, VA and have garnered comparisons to Planes Mistaken for Stars, Four Hundred Years, Frodus, Glass and Ashes, and Sleepytime Trio.

The band recently undertook a short East Coast tour down to THE FEST 8. Two videos of their performance at THE FEST 8 have popped up. You can check out the video for “When People Have Something To Say,” captured by Thinker Thought Records, here. You can check out the video for “As Best We Can” courtesy of Alternative Press here.

The band will also be doing a string of album release shows in Virginia, with plans for a six-week tour of the entire US from late January through mid-March 2010, culminating at the second annual Harvest of Hope Festival in St. Augustine, FL. Dates for that tour will be announced shortly.
