We’ve been talkin’ up this record for a while and it’s time to deliver, kids. The Brokedowns new album is entitled Species Bender and it’ll be available through digital retailers like iTunes and Amazon on September 7th and it’ll be in proper record stores on September 14th.

What you need to know NOW is that they have posted two new songs over at The Brokedowns MySpace. Soon-to-be-putrid-basement-classics like “Celebrity Death Panel” and “I’m A Ritual”. Hits, I tell ye! We’re super, super stoked on this new record, so hopefully you’ll check out these new songs and be compelled to dance around like we do. Close the curtains first though, cuz I’ve seen many of you dance.

In related news, The Brokedowns have also posted a string of dates around the album’s release, including a wild record release party at Ronny’s in Chicago. You can learn about them and many other shows over in the tour dates section. Dust off your dick and get out to a rock show, eh?!

Now that 2010 is here we figured we better get up on this whole internet craze. Our old site was pretty laughable, but this new one (also laughable) at least has album info, tour dates, an online store, a message board, etc. A big, BIG debt of gratitude goes out to Sean from ILC for being so helpful and patient with this new site.

I’m stoked that we have a complete discography in the “RELEASES” section; and in the spirit of good ol’ fashioned punk rock community, we’ve set up a forum that has a book club and a section (The Red Army) about how you can help promote Red Scare bands and get involved in the label. We’ll see how that shit works out, but I figure it’s worth trying to bring some people together that share a mutual interest in these silly bands.

We also have a Red Scare webstore and we’re selling all CDs for $8 or less. With very reasonable shipping rates too, I might add! After a few weeks we’re probably gonna bump the price all the way up to 9 bucks, so take advantage of these wild and crazy prices while you can.

So this is it: redscare.net v2.0. Have a look around.
