Protomen have unveiled the first official track from the second long-player Act II. The album itself will be released September 8th with a massive blow-up release show at Mercy Lounge on Sept. 25th where they plan to play both albums back to back with a full choir and orchestra. Marking the calendar sounds like a good idea but you should absolutely take the time now to listen to “Light Up The Night” right here.

New Nashville act Blue Cadet 3 have released their debut self-titled EP that can be ordered here or digitally downloaded here. The Deli has posted a video from said EP for the track “Taxidermic Heartbreak Glory” which should be watched forthwith.

Feral Fire, the next full-length from Glossary will be released in early 2010. It’s a long way off but given how great The Better Angels of Our Nature is I can only assume it will be worth every second.

I never thought I’d see the day but WRVU has given their site a complete facelift. Aside from the new look there’s also a new streaming webcam and forthcoming regular blog updates. You still need RealPlayer (or possibly VLC) to listen to the audio but at least you’ll be doing it while viewing a grand new site.
