Would anybody wear these on a tee-shirt? The first one would be in the centre of the chest and the second would be in the bottom left corner of the front side. PM me or something.

Hey d00dz. As the picture to the left seems to indicate, I've got some pretty OMG-worthy news: Half Hearted Hero's website is online and more or less complete. Sometime last month, John asked me about making a site for Half Hearted Hero, and after much jackassery and procrastination, I finally got around to making it.

I've still got to talk to Meyer about album descriptions and whether he wants stuff to be downloadable or not, and if a review exists, PM me on the boards or something because as much as I may want it to, that young lad from Munich drumming along to some phat jamz doesn't really constitute a 'review'.

But for your viewing pleasure: <http://www.nbrock.net/bands/halfheartedhero/>

Streets of Rage 3 are back and badder than ever! Check out theSega Genocide EP page, we are hosting a free download of the ep!

Outrage have some shows coming up, I'll be at the one in Allston tomorrow night.

The forums are kind of on the fritz right now, they'll be running up again in a few days.

NBROCK is doing a free compilation cd-r this month. I want it to represent everything that New Bedford is to me, so send in submissions in mp3 format to my email, campolij@wit.edu. It'll be available on cd-r and digital download sometime in May.

Check out this Wolf Whistle video!

NBRock is making a comeback this summer. Please read and respond to this if you have questions.
The entire staff of nbrock.net has been pretty busy with life lately, including myself; as most of you know i was in the hospital for most of my spring break and it sucked. However, I'm all better and want to revitalize the scene with everyone's help. We are already teaming up with Solstice, the skateboard store downtown on William Street, to make the forums on here the real deal again. I don't want anyone to feel excluded cause they feel nbrock is pretentious or something stupid like that.

I'm going to legit be doing shows again this summer starting in May when I get out of school. Hopefully Craig will be done with the new site by then, I have no idea how far along he is and to his credit he has some real life shit going on right now. All I can say about it is it'll be like a real site with blog updates like this. Hopefully still iphone/sidekick compatible. The idea is to get everyone back into liking shows again and going to them to have fun, not to get drunk and waste the day away making fun of the thirteen year olds that probably have way more fun than the jaded kids who go to see the one band they like on the 10 band bill. Well, I don't see why we can't have little 2 band shows for those kids and have huge keynote shows at the PAL and bigger places.

I've been kicking around a lot of ideas with a lot of different people and am gonna announce that my goals for the summer are to press a new xfilesx 7", if it can happen, get a PA, put on an assload of safe fun shows that are cheap, and get the wheels in motion to press smackin' isaiah. Basically the new nbrock site will be like a distro with everything it has now. stay tuned for more updates on this. We're doing the best we can right now and need the support of everyone in new bedford that cares about local music to make this shit a reality.

oh and if you know html or php and wanna make band sites like this get in touch cause i'm too busy to do more by myself.

New Bedford has some new sounds; Vistas Change have been busy this past winter recording some demos and have them streaming on their myspace for your listening pleasure. They will be playing, to my knowledge what is their first show on March 13th at The Highlander in Acushnet with Skin Lake + More TBA. I'm dissapointed it's the same night that Title Fight are playing at the ICC, but if you weren't planning on going up to Boston for them then you should definitely check the Highlander show out.

Soon to be New Bedford legends Half Hearted Hero have the finished master copy of their new full length "Defining. Refining." in their hands as of today so it shouldn't be too much longer before the rest of us get to own a copy of it. They have a few shows coming up: March 5th @ UMASS Dartmouth for FREE with A Hero Next Door, April 11th @ The Pal playing as Blink 182, and on April 17th in Kingston, Ma.

The final lineup for that cover show that Keynote is putting on at the PAL is still slightly indefinite, but to the best of my knowledge HHH are covering Blink 182, Atlantic Blue will do Lifetime, Outrage-Brand New, Sharkweak: The Movielife, and one more band TBA is covering Saves The Day. Another Option have dropped off so they can focus on other things besides learning cover songs and Outrage decided not to cover Smackin' Isaiah much to my dismay. Despite all these changes, the show is still happening and should be a lot of fun. Admission will run you up $10 and I'll get a new flyer up for it as soon as one is sent to me.

Some drama the other night at the Ramming Speed/Agony show that Andrew put on at UMASS, from what I gather from the forums the cops busted it up for no reason and Ramming Speed didn't play. Bummer, but hopefully it won't affect the future of UMASS shows.

That Wolf Whistle podcast Craig mentioned a few posts down is available for streaming here in .mp3 format, check it out!!

On the subject of podcasts, check out the one Andrea Belanger did the other day for WSAR here. She is getting a lot of hype right now so support her by checking it out, especially if you've never given her songs a listen before!

I don't think it has ever been officially mentioned that Streets of Rage 3 is reforming and will be releasing a demo entitled the Sega Genocide EP this coming spring/summer. More to come on that.

Have Heart and the Mongoloids were supposed to play with Outrage at Gallery X at the end of this month, but after a lot of time on the phone and headaches on my part it fell through and will take place at the Tiger's Den in Brocton on February 27th. Gallery X would only allow two bands on the bill, and the cost of renting their space plus all the other expenses simply wasn't worth doing it.

It completely slipped my mind that The McCarthy-Richards Band put out a full length a few weeks ago called Private Eye. Click over to their myspace to give a listen and checkout all the shows they have lined up.

I've run the update bank pretty dry after all that I think, as always feel free to get in touch with show listings, mp3s, noodz, and show pics through the forums, myspace, aim, etc.

Outrage are booking some north east tour dates for the spring, and are considering a European tour last I heard. Get fucking pumped, cause they're recording a new full length in March with Jay Maas at Getaway Recording Studios in Wakefield, MA

-JCamps

The cover show at Granger Hall has been post-poned until sometime in March due to the venue flaking out and asking a ton of money for insurance coverage.

Check out FFAANNGGSS on MySpace, John DiSalvo has some great recordings up there.

In other DiSalvo related news, I'm pretty sure Elder is pressing their latest album on vinyl really soon. In the meantime, you can purchase the cd here.

Check out our MP3s section if you haven't been on it in a while, we're hosting a ton of great stuff for free download. I'll be adding a few more things when I get around to it.

If you're over 21, all my best buds are playing at the Shakers Lounge and Night Club in Fall River on January 23rd. The show is cheap, I'm not sure exactly how much. Word is they have a free mechanical bull.

Get psyched on that flyer to your left. Wolf Whistle is Derek DaSilva, Trevor Vaughan, Pat Flynn, and Evan Radigan. Come up and support, I'll probably be there.

That's all the news I have for now, if you have hot gossip or hot noodz please click the link above to the forums and post it there.
