New Found Glory Kicks Off Halloween Season with "Scarier Than Jason Voorhees At A Campfire" (Hopeless Records)

Last year, Pop-punk pioneers New Found Glory (NFG) released the third installment in their film covers EP series, fittingly titled From The Screen to Your Stereo 3. Then, earlier this year, NFG returned with a new studio album, their tenth, Forever + Ever x Infinity, which was widely regarded by both fans and crits alike as a return to the band's Pop-punk/Melodic Hardcore roots. Forever + Ever x Infinity was initially slated for a May 29, 2020 release to be sold as a Target-only exclusive, but because of the then-impending COVID-19 Pandemic, was pushed back by New Found Glory and their label, Hopeless Records, to June 19, 2020 and saw a more wide release due to various safety concerns. Now, a number of moths post-release, Forever + Ever x Infinity has birthed a number of singles, both official and promotional, including "Greatest of All Time," "Stay Awhile," "Himalaya," "Shook By Your Shaved Head," and, most recently, "Scarier Than Jason Voorhees At A Campfire."

Actually, NFG's Friday The 13th lead character name-checking single was just released yesterday afternoon accompanied by an equally spook-tastic music video. "This video is about a guy who has seen way too many Horror movies growing up. They never bothered him before. But his fear about starting his new relationship has triggered him wherein moments of fun, he only sees HORROR! Perfect time for Halloween," shares guitarist and film buff Chad Gilbert. "We are so excited to pay homage to all of our favorites. And pumped to give this song that's later on our new album some love!" Gilbert continued. "Scarier Than Jason Voorhees At A Campfire" was directed by frequent New Fouund Glory collaborator Acacia Evans and features a slew of perfectly gory/hokey allusions within to Halloween, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, A Nightmare On Elm Street, Pinhead, Friday The 13th, Scream, The Excorcist, and more of your favirite blood-curdling Horror films.

It's definitely a fun music video from four of our favorite Pop-punks/film buffs, Jordan Pundik, Chad Gilbert, Ian Grushka & Cyrus Bolooki. Plus, in addition to NFG's spook-tacular hair-rousing new video, fans can grab an exclusive vinyl variant of their most recent studio album, Forever + Ever x Infinity. The "Voorhees Blood Version" is available to pre-order, via Hopeless Records, now with orders expected to ship by Friday The 13th of November. There's, also, a companion "SCARIER THAN JASON VOORHEES AT A CAMPFIRE" BLACK T-shirt available, as well as a bunch of bundles and interesting Hopeless/NFG merch, too. Plus, plus, there's even some additional merch abailable exclusively at New Found Glory's web-store to help all you ghouls and gals get outfitted for your fright-tastic soirees this season! Tickets are still available for NFG's upcoming e-show to be held on October 30th Live from The Chicago Drive-in, along with a special post-show screening of Beetlejuice. New Found Glory's Forever + Ever x Infinity is out now on Hopeless Records.

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of...

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra...

Liberty Bell Cracked In 1/2: Ween - "Freedom of '76" (Gene Ween's Final Send-Off)

Chocolate & Cheese (1994) was one of the first albums I bought with my own money. I was in some sort of BMG Music Club , where you'd buy 5 CD's and then get 10 for "FREE." It was all sent through mail order and you picked the titles from some special booklet. I'm almost positive that Chocolate & Cheese's side boob-baring album cover was what initially drew me in... mind you, I was 12-15 and the zany Ween logo/middle finger CD graphic really didn't hurt either. Honestly, I forget how I really felt about it @ the time, but a few years later, my older cousin Josh told me that Ween were this BIG college "jam band." CKY did some sort pf 93.3 radio takeover to promote their new album and played "Freedom of '76" late that night on air. Needless to say, I re-visited Chocolate & Cheese @ about 20-something this go 'round and I fucking loved it! Ween were really weird, yet talented... almost too talented. I can vaguel...
