Be sure to check out these bands that are currently gaining a lot of attention that we previously featured on our “On The Rise” section, The Dangerous Summer and Metro Station. The Dangerous Summer‘s new EP will be out August 21st on Hopeless Records, and Metro Station will be on some big tours this fall including Just Surrender, Motion City Soundtrack, Mae and Anberlin.

For current releases be sure to pick up Tokyo Rose, The International Drive, Down to Earth Approach, and The Send‘s new albums.

The new album, Direction from The Starting Line is quite solid! Also The Receiving End of Sirens have their upcoming record streaming in its entirety on Myspace.

Sam Anacker
Interpol’s new album Our Love to Admire is another solid album, as is the Yeah Yeah Yeah’s new EP Is Is which features songs written during touring for their first record. As for upcoming releases look forward to Minus the Bear’s Planet of Ice, slated to hit August 21, and the nation-wide tour to follow!

Switchfoot: “Oh Gravity” will be one of my favorites of 2007 even though it technically came out in 2006 (by a few days)

Bryce Jacobson
Take a listen to Motion City Soundtrack‘s back catalogue as they prepare to release their new single next week.

Also if you have some extra cash on hand this week pick up The International Drive‘s new album, Finish What You Started, out this Tuesday.

Give Weatherbox and their new record American Art a spin.
