Silverstein Signs To Hopeless

Silverstein has signed to Hopeless Records. They are currently preparing for a full US & Canadian tour titled “Winterizer”, but will release Transitions (EP) on December 7. Their fifth full-length is scheduled for a Spring 2011 release.

“We have signed to Hopeless Records! We have been huge fans of the label since their inception and they have become great friends of ours over the years. It is great to work with people who not only get what we do and still embrace the scene, but also actually helped create it. After talking to many labels, we felt we would be the most at home here with Louis, and the entire Hopeless Records staff.”

New Gorillaz Album By Christmas

In a new interview with NME, Damon Albarn talked about a new Gorillaz album and label pressure to release Plastic Beach before it was ready. “I’ve been recording a new record on the road, which I’m going to try and put out before Christmas. It’s a studio album made in hotel rooms across America,” he told the interviewer. According to Albarn, the album will sound like “an English voice that has been put through the vocoder of America” and was recorded using his Apple iPad.
