Listen: Verse - Aggression [full album stream]
The good dudes over at Punk News have posted a full stream of Providence, RI's Verse's recently released new album, Aggression. The album, released last week via Bridge 9 Records, is a solid melodic hardcore effort, and well worth your time if you ask us.

Rival Schools (ex-Quicksand, Youth of Today) Euro Dates + Have Heart US Dates
Rival Schools' recently announced reunion for Norway's Hope Festival has been expanded to a full European tour. Rival Schools boasts alumni from such acts as Gorilla Biscuits, Youth of Today, and crustcake favorites Quicksand, so naturally we are holding out hope that a US tour will follow. The European dates are below.
In loosely-related news, there is at least one non-imaginary US Tour that does have us excited. Have Heart and Verse will be heading out in June and July for a handful of dates. Those dates and more below.
