Victory |
AP reports: A civil court judge ruled Wednesday
that the landmark punk club CBGB's can't be evicted from its Bowery location,

but CBGB's future is still uncertain.

Dying? |
Blabbermouth reports: AS I LAY DYING vocalist
Tim Lambesis recently told the Great Falls Tribune that the sub-genre of
metalcore is nearing its expiration.
"I think metal core is a trend right now
and so it's easy to write a metal core record," Lambesis said.
"I think it's pretty much at its peak right
now. It'll get a little bigger this summer. Sounds of the Underground is
going out. Ozzfest is going out. Those are both big tours that feature
a lot of metal core bands. Those will, I think, bring it to its peak and
then from there, it'll be up to each band individually to survive the trend."[see
