>>> Man, the Faint gotta be pissed. What, with all the Cut Copys and Presets out there, jacking their sound. The Faint were ripping off Depeche Mode first, goddamn it! Now they’re back, with a new-wave juggernaut they like to call Fasciinatiion, their first since 2004’s Wet From Birth. It comes out on their own label, blank.wav, August 5. Also, a tour! (via Pitchfork)

>>> Emo may have caused some terrible things to happen in the past, but we’re not gonna start slagging off Jimmy Eat World for being a lil’ emotional. And for every clichéd emo-breakdown and love-struck lyric, there’s a couple pretty great pop songs in their catalog (we dig “Work”). The boys are hitting the road, supporting Chase This Light, which came out sometime somewhere, but we can’t remember when or how. Dates are here.

>>> Foxboro Hot Tubs are going on tour, but, as their press release demands, “NO CAMERAS!” Seriously, you wouldn’t want people to find out that FHT are just Green Day playing under a fake name, would you? Oops. Dates are here.

>>> Mustache in your face! 9-piece garage junkies King Khan and the Shrines are going on their first-ever North American tour. Dates are here.

>>> Cool bands just kinda gravitate towards one another. Kind of like how hot girls only have hot friends, or something. At least that’s what we think when we watch “The Hills.” Anyway, UK-rockers Frightened Rabbit are touring with the French Kicks for awhile, then with Oxford Collapse. Dates are here.

>>> Oasis dude Noel Gallagher and Jay-Z are in a bit of a tiff. We don’t know about you guys, but we’re betting on Noel to win this one, if it gets physical. All he has to do is call in his bro Liam, and the shit is gonna hit the fan. (via Prefix Mag)

>>> Ever want to be on “American Gladiators”? Well, now is your chance. Click here, unless you are weak.
