Alternative Press has just launched a stream of Small Brown Bike’s new 7”, “Composite Vol. 2″ and is hosting an exclusive premiere of their “Hourglass” video. You can stream two new songs, “Some Optimistic” and “Never Walk This Alone,” and check out the exclusive premier of their video for the song “Hourglass” from Composite Vol. 1, by clicking here.

The 7” will be limited to 1,100 physical copies (with digital download) and will be the second in their 7” series of new material for No Idea Records.

The band commented on the new material on Composite Vol. 2 and filming the video:

“We filmed this with some buddies in Orlando after The Fest 8. We wanted something to document ‘Composite Vol. 1,’ so we had a BBQ and spent the afternoon playing music.”

The video for “Hourglass” was directed by Chase Heavener from FCTN and shot by Chase Heavener, Matt Staker, and Ben Reed. The live audio was captured by Ben Reed and Dan Jaquint.

Richmond’s The Riot Before have posted a video of singer Brett Adams performing an acoustic rendition of their song “You Can’t Sexy Dance to Punk Rock” from the band’s last album, “Fists Buried In Pockets.” You can check it out right here.

The video is the first installment of Paper + Plastick’s Bathroom Tapes, a series the label hopes to continue with more acoustic performances filmed within all manner of stalls, porta-potties, and outhouses. The mad scientists of Thunderclap Supergenius filmed this edition, which follows in their line of previously posted intimate performances using only a single camera, a single microphone, and a single take. They’ve also posted videos from bands like Grabass Charlestons, Joey Cape & Jon Snodgrass, and Mike Hale & Austin Lucas.

The Riot Before recently wrapped up recording for their third full-length and Paper + Plastick debut, “Rebellion.” The album was tracked at The Magpie Cage in Washington, DC, with legendary producer J. Robbins (Jawbox, Jawbreaker, Against Me!). It is currently in the mixing stage, with an anticipated release date of March 16, 2010.

Young Livers have leaked the first song from their long awaited sophomore album. You can check out “A Sad State In Affairs” on the band’s MySpace page.

Young Livers recorded the album this past June/July at Satellite Recordings in Ventura, CA in the sinister company of Armand John Anthony, also responsible for the auditory violence committed on last year’s Glass And Ashes “S/T” album released by No Idea Records.

The band had this to say about recording:

“We have a new record almost ready! We spent two weeks in sunny Ventura, CA with Armand and the residents of the 86 House. We recorded 13 songs from which we selected 11 to be on the record. The new material is different, as we have a different lineup than the first record, with Mike Carter playing bass and contributing some brutal vocals. We spent a lot of time in our practice space working on the material. Mike slept in Dave’s garage for a few months while we were writing, while the rest of us spent little to no time outside of practice or work. We locked our selves in the studio for two weeks and I think we produced something we are all proud of. Once we get this record out, we are going to get out for some serious touring and reuniting with friends! Also, we’re going to be using some leftover tracks for a split or two. We’ve already begun writing again and are throwing around the idea of recording again soon for something not quite an LP.”

You can also check out a studio montage video the band produced to get a sneak peak at some other songs from the album. The video can be viewed here.

This album is the follow up to the band’s critically acclaimed debut album, “The New Drop Era,” released in 2007 by No Idea Records and Kiss of Death Records. You can still stream “The New Drop Era” in its entirety on the band’s Punknews.org profile page.

Last year, the band released a split 7” with Long Island’s Bridge & Tunnel care of No Idea Records, a split 7” with UK natives Attack! Vipers! on Germany’s Yo-Yo Records, and a live split 7” with Gainesville’s Army of Ponch courtesy of Sound Study Recordings.

Young Livers are also doing a string of dates with their good friends from the United Kingdom, OK Pilot, leading up to their performances at THE FEST 8 in Gainesville, FL this Halloween weekend. You can click “more” below for the dates!

Richmond, Virginia’s post-music mages Snacktruck have unveiled four songs from their upcoming CD, entitled “Spacial Findings 1-7″ for Rorschach Records. You can stream “Gravithorn,” “Presence Charm,” “Second Level,” and “Blooms (Sweet)” on the band’s MySpace page.

Rorschach Records released the “Spacial Findings” 7” late last year, which can still be found in stores or beneath many a pile of Dutchmaster guts and empty Mountain Dew bottles. The forthcoming CD version of “Spacial Findings” will feature the four songs from the 7” plus three new tracks, including a remix of “The Economist/The New Yorker.”

You can also check out a rather epic video for “Wipeout Hideout” on YouTube here.

The band will also be making an appearance at THE FEST 8 in Gainesville, FL over the upcoming Halloween weekend.

Snacktruck counts members of Ultra Dolphins, Brainworms, and VCR amongst their ranks, uniting to mix elements of math rock, prog rock, and all things virtually mind melting. The four-piece consists of two drummers, a bassist and a guitarist, and has gained comparisons to the technical wizardry of Don Caballero and Battles, the lush, spanning soundscapes of Russian Circles, and the electronic spasticity of Trans Am.

Snacktruck previously released an album entitled Harpoon on The Perpetual Motion Machine in 2004.
