Every Time I Die

Every Time I Die will release their new studio album ‘From Parts Unknown‘ via Epitaph Records on June 30th, and with the official release less than two weeks away the album has now been made available for streaming in its entirety.

The album title, ‘From Parts Unknown‘, refers to the band approaching things in a completely different manner this time. The band’s members now have 16 years of experience behind them and have therefore learnt a lot over the course of this period. Front man Keith Buckley had the following to say about the band’s intentions with this release:

At a time when a lot of bands are going for a more crowd-friendly sound, we wanted to go in the opposite direction. Instead of making something that the kids can all sing along to, we wanted to make music that scares them.

Every Time I Die are out on tour in the US all summer on the Vans Warped Tour, returning to the UK this August for Reading & Leeds Festival.

FIFA 15 Messi

An official E3 gameplay trailer has now been released for FIFA 15, providing a brief demonstration of what you can expect from the game when it drops on September 26th.

Players will now recognise what’s happening in a match and adjust their tactics just like real players, football pitches will deteriorate throughout a match as the grass gets cut up by the players movement, and the movement of the football will now be more realistic than ever.

The FIFA series will no doubt continue to grow in strength and success with FIFA 15, and below you can check out the official E3 gameplay trailer for the new game.
