*[theprp.com] Baroness have debuted some “Yellow & Green” studio footage and a look at their recent touring in the following video.

*[consequenceofsound.net] As previously reported, Bad Friend Records is putting out an unreleased single from The Dismemberment Plan’s Travis Morrison. We’ve already heard the B-Side, “Henrietta”; now, you can download the A-Side, “Cruisin’ (All Night Long)”, below.
Both songs were recorded by Morrison and his band Hellfighters following the release of their one and only LP, 2007′s All Y’all. Cruisin’ (All Night Long)” follows the narrative arc of “Henrietta”, telling the story of two possibly hypocritical policemen looking for action on snowy streets. In his articulate high pitch, Morrison sings about the “ugly cop” and the “handsome cop” alternately befriending and arresting him and his friends, backed by a flurry of acoustic and electric chords interspersed with animated solos. It’s funny, poignant, and very much Morrison.
Cruisin’ (All Night Long) is now available digitally through Bad Friend’s Bandcamp, and on vinyl at Dischord’s website.
*[consequenceofsound.net] With Fucked Up on hold, frontman Damian Abraham is passing the time with his new side project, CrimSane. Featuring Matt Delong of No Warning and Violent Minds, the “kushcore” act more or less goes off the rails with scummy feedback, vacuum-pressured guitars, and earshot vocals – at least if the demo for what’s being called “ChinaFastGrow” is any indication. The lo-fi cut sounds nothing like last year’s David Comes to Life, but whereas that album was chock full of Friday night anthems, this demo’s downright frightening. Check it out below.
*[FMQB.com] Ozzy Osbourne has confirmed that Black Sabbath has written 15 new songs for their first album with him since 1978. "We've written about 15 songs together so far," Ozzy revealed in an interview with NME. "Whether they'll get on an album [I don't know]… You just keep on writing. I was trying to [work out], 'Where would we be now musically if we'd have stayed together?'" Osbourne also dropped a hint on a possible title, saying, "Next year, 2013, is a good clue of what we'll call the album." Guitarist Tony Iommi also discussed his battle with cancer and how playing with the band at their comeback show in Birmingham on May 19 made him feel better. "It was great. Going through what I've gone through over the past year has been like living in a different world," he told NME. "Being onstage and to get that [reaction from the fans] is just fantastic, it really boosts you up."
