Still unsure about picking up Anberlin's fourth-full length, New Surrender? For the entire week, Buzznet is giving you the golden opportunity to listen to the entire album from start to finish. Hear.

Two female twirl team members (and High school students) recently had their batons revoked after performing a routine to Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl" at their school pep rally. Why?

Back in May, Lit made the unforuntate announcement that their drummer, 39-year-old Allen Shellenberger, was suffering from a malignant brain tumor. To help raise money for Shellenberger pricey medical bills, the band is working with The Make A Noise Foundation to auction off a ton of autographed memorabilia from an array of bands, as well as some once in a lifetime offers! Details.

Bayside's fourth full-length, Shudder, hit stores today and you should pick it up because it's an amazing rock record ... anddd I happen to sing gang vocals on "The Boy," "The Ghost of Saint Valentine" and "Roshambo."



Don't forget to look for my name in the CD booklet under gang vocals. It's spelled incorrectly, but I'm used to it by now!

And check out these videos from my recording session with Bayside.

Epitaph Records is on fire this year, having recently added Bring Me The Horizon, New Found Glory and now Thursday to their official band roster. Details.

With the recent release of Alkaline Trio's new record, Agony and Irony, you would think Matt Skiba would use any free time he had to relax. Instead, he's expressed interest in resurrecting Heavens, his rock side project with Joe Steinbrick of Thieves Like Us. Details.

It's been a long time since we'e seen a parental advisory sticker on a rock album, but Houston Calls is bringing it back in style.

Earlier this month, Civet exclusively revealed to Buzznet that they would be touring this fall with Aiden. Today, Buzznet has both the dates for the upcoming tour and an exclusive photo from Hate Culture, the debut release from singer Wil Francis' side project named William Control. Wow.

Two weeks ago Anarbor announced their crazy plan to play at people's houses on their off days from tour. The band is currently in the midwest keeping their promise and recently spoke to Buzznet about their decision to do these free intimate performances. More.

Just nine days after surviving a plane crash alongside DJ AM, Travis Barker has been released from the Augusta, Georgia hospital where he received treatment for burns he suffered to his torso and lower body. Details.

Anberlin is touring this fall with Scary Kids Scaring Kids, Straylight Run and There For Tomorrow and the band has just announced a very special guest who be joining them on stage nightly. Who?

There's no arguing that Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl" was one of the biggest songs of the summer, if not the year, but would you believe that Perry almost left it off 2008's One of the Boys!? Story.

To get us pumped for their new record New Surrender, out September 30, Anberlin recently stopped by the Buzznet studio to perform four songs acoustically as part of our Resonate series. Vids.

There For Tomorrow recently shot their music video for "No Room To Breathe" and has uploaded a gigantic amount of behind-the-scenes footage to Buzznet. Videos.

Were you displeased with Forever The Sickest Kids' low-budget music video for "She's a Lady" that surfaced online this past Sunday? The band has confirmed that the video we saw is not official ... and a high-budget one is on its way! Details.

Farewell has announced the cancellation of their November tour ... but you will be pleased with what the band has decided to do instead. Any guesses?

Forever The Sickest Kids has accomplished more in two years than most bands have in a decade. Their newest reason to celebrate ... The cover of Alternative Press Magazine! Show.

Artist: The Killers
Song: "Human"
Sounds like: Bruce Springsteen

If you live in Los Angeles, The Cab is giving you a chance to be in their new music video next week ... and the way in is much easier than having to hail an actual cab! Lolz.

Cash Cash won't have their full-length out until 2009. Rather than have you listen to the same few songs on their MySpace page, the electro-pop band will be releasing an EP this October! Deets.

Would you do anything to make it in Hollywood? And by anything I mean be Courtney Love's cleaning maid or Production Assistant for a documentary about her life ... because she's looking for one! Wow.

The Killers will release their third Christmas single in three years this December. This time around, the song will be a collaboration between the band and a certain "Circle of Life"-singing English fellow. Who?

Ian Watkins of Lostprophets is letting you create your own shirt through his clothing line, Made in Hell, but this opportunity will be over in a flash. Details.

Artist: Raining and OK
Song: "You Keep in the Dark"
Sounds like: '90s alternative

There are so many great things going on with me and my show this month.

First off, beginning the first week of October, you will be able to go to any Hot Topic location and pick up Substream Magazine (featuring my own column!) This is something I have always wanted to do and Substream has made it a reality.

On September 30, pick up Bayside's Shudder. The record is fantastic and I sing gang vocals on "Boy," "The Ghost" and "Roshambo." You'll see my name in the CD booklet under additional musicians. How amazing is that!?

Tonight I will be hosting Havoc on the 101 on DirecTV Channel 101 from 11 p.m. PT - 3 a.m. PT. I'm there every Monday night but many of you haven't caught the show ... maybe you will tonight. It's music videos and  your text messages on national TV!

Finally, I will have I Set My Friends on Fire on DJ Rossstar's Punk Rock Show this Wednesday night and Fight Fair this Thursday night. As always, you can hear the show on Idobi Radio and watch it on Stickam. It's been six years since I started my career and I have no plans on stopping anytime soon!

That's all for now. Feel free to leave me a question. I will be compiling the best twenty and answering them in a separate post by the end of tonight.

DJ Rossstar

Have you gotten your tickets yet to Cobra Starship's "Sassy Back Tour?" Don't worry ... Buzznet has got you covered! (You owe us one though). More.

Between drumming for Fall Out Boy and running his own clothing line, (F**k City), Andy Hurley has a busy life ... And it's about to get even busier ... Details.

The nominees for the mtvU 2008 Woodie Awards have been announced and Buzznet favorites like Paramore, All Time Low and We The Kings are in the running! Noms.

Have you been wondering why the "Rock Band 2" of version The Cab's, "One of those Nights," sounds nothing like the one on their debut full-length, Whisper War? Turns out someone made a major boo boo! Details.

Song: "Selfish Introvert"

I haven't done much since Friday night because Kyla Fox is sick ... but sometimes staying in can be just as fun ...Friday night we got some Japanese food from our new favorite place and rented My Sassy Girl starring my celebrity crush (from my college years) Elisha Cuthbert. The movie is about a serious college student who meets and falls in love with a wild girl (Cuthbert) who is definitely on the crazy side. It's a cute romantic comedy with a lot of twists and turns and the ending will shock you!



Saturday night we decided to stay in again and rent another movie. This time we chose The Quiet starring, once again, Elisha Cuthbert. This film is very dark and deals with some very disturbing content. After the death of her father, a deaf girl named Dot goes to live with her family friends ... and in this family, everyone has issues. The father and daughter have a sexual relationship that the daughter is trying to escape from and the mother seems to be on another planet, always poppin' pills. Dot and Nina (Cuthbert) soon become friends and the two decide to put a stop to her sick father ... for good.


 I should really start my own movie review show in addition to my punk rock show. I definitely see more movies a year than the average person. Speaking of, I'll be in Westwood tonight checking out LAKEVIEW TERRACE!

DJ Rossstar

Instead of sitting back and enjoying the success of The Red Album this fall while they tour the U.S., Weezer's creative juices are flowing and the band has already begun to write their next album. Deets.

Back in August, I had the opportunity to record gang vocals with Bayside for three songs on their new record Shudder.

The record hits stores on September 30, but you can hear the entire thing now on their MySpace page.

My vocals are on the songs "Boy," "The Ghost of St. Valentine" and "Roshambo." Remember, I recorded this with the entire band and their producer, so you may not be able to distinguish between the voices, but I am in there!

When the record comes out my name will be credited in the Additional Vocals section, something I have never done before and with a band I love and respect.

You will love this record.

Jaguar Love singer Johnny Whitney remembers his first kiss perfectly. It was in middle school with Ashley Roberge. He also remembers sneezing all over her mid-kiss ... LOL.

In a twisted turn of events, Michelle DeRosa, who recently left Straylight Run to pursue a solo career, has announced that she has put together a new band. More.

On August 22, Bring Me The Horizon hit the main stage at the Leeds Festival 2008 in the U.K. for the very first time. Their good friend Tom Barnes took some killer pictures from the stage and Buzznet has the exclusive set. Show me.

Yesterday, Buzznet announced that Paramore would be recording a new song for the "Twilight" soundtrack. Today, the name of the song has been revealed along with some news that will make every Paramore fan go crazy. Details.

From First to Last released their third full-length earlier this year and guitarist Travis Richter has revealed exclusively to Buzznet that the band has plans to work on two different music projects this fall. Morizzle.

I'm sitting here listening to Green Day's Insomniac. It's been almost 13 years since I first bought the record on October 14th, 1995 and as I continue to get older, I realize more and more how incredible of a record Insomniac is both lyrically and musically.

It's some of the darkest songs Billie Joe has ever written and the album as a whole has stood the test of time. I wanted to post some music videos of my favorite songs off the record, the ones that I connect to the most, but unfortunately those are the ones that never made it as singles. Instead, I have attached some videos that include the lyrics to each song so you can truly see how great of a writer Billie Joe is.
