You’ve probably been there. Medieval Times. It’s a big castle/stadium where they put on a Knights In Shining Armor show as you eat a delicious meal. There is also an awesome gift shop full of sculptures, swords, and more.
Well, Benderspink (Hangover III) and Broken Road (Jack and Jill) will be making the restaurant chain into a feature film property. The two are now shopping studios to home the movie.
Into It. Over It. Sign with Triple Crown Records
New LP Out In September
Upcoming Shows Include Skate & Surf, Bled Fest and More
Into It. Over It., the brainchild of Chicago, IL musician Evan Weiss, has signed with Triple Crown Records and will release a new full-length in September. Weiss is currently in the studio recording with Brian Deck (Modest Mouse, Iron & Wine). Check out the teaser video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b17LZMYTDLQ&feature=youtu.be.
Having played in a number of bands over the years, Weiss had originally conceived Into it. Over It. as a means to break free from a musical rut. His project quickly took on a life of its own and in true DIY fashion, Weiss went on to release a steady string of 7”, splits, cassettes, and LP’s while touring the world non-stop, both as solo artist and with a full band including tours with such acts as Frank Turner, The Wonder Years, Where’s My Band Tour (w/ Matt Pryor, Dustin Kensrue, Chris Conley), Owen and KOJI (with whom he recorded a split, which was named by the Associated Press as one of the year’s ‘Most Overlooked Albums Of 2010’, alongside artists like Mumford and Sons, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals, and Gucci Mane.)
In discussing the future of Into It. Over It., Weiss explains, “With the new year, it came time to turn a page. Not only was Triple Crown excited about what I wanted to make and how I wanted to make it, but they gave me the tools to do so. It’s been a brand new process for me. Uncharted territory. They have been supportive above and beyond to help me be able to be the musician I really want to be. To craft the record I really wanted to make. I couldn’t think of a better home.”

What releases are you most anticipating??
In keeping with tradition of the original Star Wars trilogy, Episode VII will be shot in the United Kingdom. The film will begin production next year, and is expected in theatres during 2015.
Now, I only say “somehow, Community has been renewed” because this fourth season was quite a mess. Let’s be honest. I’ve loved the first three, but this one (which lost the creator of the series) was just…blah. There were maybe two or three memorable episodes the entire season. The rest was just “eh” or poor.
However, having watched this week’s finale for the season, it is nice to know I will actually get closure eventually for the other characters as well (SPOILER: only Jeff had a real ending to this season, which I thought was certainly going to be the warp-up of the series, period).
Who else thought the show was way below standards this season? And who else was surprised to hear it got renewed?
Sadly (because I’ve rather enjoyed this show), Rules of Engagement will end with this 7th season. After scraping by more than once over the year, the show — which features top notch actors like David Spade and Patrick Warburton — will air its final episode on CBS this season. So, let’s hope those two young characters finally get married, and the older two get their baby! Their surrogate has only been pregnant for the past several seasons (it seems).
ABC has ordered a series for Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., and it will include Agent Phil Coulson (who died in Avengers)! But wait, it gets better. The show will be produced by Joss Whedon (and Jed Whedon and Maurissa Tanchareon), and will include writers of Smallville, Angel, Lost, Heroes, and more.
Who else is stoked for this?
While Happy Endings may continue on cable, ABC has decide not to renew the comedy. The network has also cancelled several other shows: Body of Proof, Malibu Country, How To Live With Your Parents For The Rest of Your Life, and Red Widow.
Thankfully, Castle has been renewed!
AUGUST BURNS RED to release fifth album,
The album, described by guitarist and principal songwriter JB Brubaker as the band’s “most ambitious album yet,” turns a critical eye to the oft-maligned genre of metalcore, leading by example to prove that bands can still find exciting new ways to expand the genre.In support of Rescue & Restore, the band will be performing all summer long as a mainstage act on the 2013 Vans Warped Tour, marking their third appearance overall and first since 2011.
With Rescue & Restore, ABR have proven that it is possible to reshape music in a way that challenges listeners, reinvigorates fans and puts art first. But for any fans who fear AUGUST BURNS RED turning their back on the sound that catapulted them to the forefront of a genre, Brubaker advises them not to worry.
“At the end of the day we are still a very heavy band,” he explains. “Rescue & Restore still has plenty of really heavy stuff, techy odd meter riffs, and all the stuff that people have come to expect from us, it just has a lot more surprises along the way.”
FOR THE FALLEN DREAMS RETURNS TO THE RISE RECORDS FAMILY
ORIGINAL VOCALIST CHAD RUHLIG RETURNS
NEW SINGLE “SUBSTANCE” TO BE RELEASED NEXT WEEK

Chad has been busy with his own band Legend, but he made the time to pursue both endeavors. FTFD’s debut album, Changes, has been a cult classic for years and fans can now rejoice about a new album and tours. The new material is akin to their debut album and will surely not disappoint.

GLAMOUR OF THE KILL ANNOUNCE U.S.
TOUR DATES WITH ESCAPE THE FATE
New Album Coming Summer 2013
Britain’s bad boys GLAMOUR OF THE KILL will be making their way over to the U.S. this spring to tour with ESCAPE THE FATE. Vocalist and front man Davey Richmond has something to say about it. “We’re really pumped to be hitting the U.S. again! Touring is what we live for so to be traveling the world doing what we love is an opportunity we relish.”
The band also just wrapped up the finishing touches on their new album that will be released this summer. The yet to be titled full length was produced by Joey Sturgis (ASKING ALEXANDRIA, MISS MAY I) and will undoubtably be the band’s most hard-hitting material to date. Richmond continues, “Having just finished our second album with producer Joey we feel like caged animals ready to bring the party back to the U.S. again.”
