The full documentary is currently available to watch courtesy of alarm-magazine.com, who also named YPLL, one of their favorites of the week here: http://alarm-magazine.com/?p=63248

“You kind of have to ruin your life to be in a punk band,” states Justin Pearson, currently on tour with new band Retox and renowned for his work with groundbreaking noise outfit THE LOCUST. Retox, along with some high-profile guests, shed light on the hardships and rewards of doing what you love instead of what you’re "supposed to," discuss days and nights of relentless touring and the intense emotions experienced on stage and making music.

With YPLL, Retox deliver a mission statement in 12 blistering tracks, the vast majority of them clocking in at two minutes or less. It's the type of rallying battle cry that inspires lingering and dormant primal urges and too-long-suppressed societal dissatisfaction in those who encounter its punk rock lineage and postmodern crash-and-ban.

PARKWAY DRIVE DEBUT NEW VIDEO

Mon, 13 May 2013 00:05:00 -0700

International heavy music juggernauts, Parkway Drive have released a brand new video for their monumental track, "Wild Eyes" from their chart topping album, ATLAS. A follow up to their wildly successful video "Dark Days" which has over 3.6 million views and precludes the new video, "Wild Eyes" depicts the dismal future of the world in a post-apocalyptic live show setting.

Check out the video for "Wild Eyes" here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuG4-lewUTs

"This video basically continues on where 'Dark Days' left off," says drummer Ben Gordon who notes that both videos were the concept of director Aaron Hymes. "Dark Days' was commentary on present day and showed the worlds state of environmental Crisis. 'Wild Eyes' is set in the near future, after the World has been destroyed by man."

Gordon goes on to say, "the lyrical concept of 'Wild Eyes' deals with inevitable the end of the world and the impact of our actions so we ran with that idea pretty literally, taking inspiration from post apocalyptic images portrayed through films over the years. We are all stoked on this video!"

Atlas, the fourth studio album from this electrifying young band has received an enthusiastic welcome by fans, immediately hitting the #7 position on the iTunes overall charts and reached #32 on the Billboard Top 200 chart. The new record follows 2010’s phenomenally successful Deep Blue and Parkway Drive has since built steadfast momentum as a result of a groundswell of fan support in the US about which Ultimate- Guitar noted, "Parkway Drive have already established themselves as a powerhouse in the metalcore scene around the world, and with the release of "Atlas", they have proven that they deserve to stay at the top."
