The reunited Spineshank have finished their new album, Anger Denial Acceptance, and are currently seeking a new record label with hopes to release the effort next year.
"The songs on this record are more personal than anything we've ever done, and I think it shows when we play them live," states drummer Tommy Decker. "This is our most varied and challenging record yet, and I can't wait to get out there and bring these new songs to life." "We're not interested in living in the past, we want to push forward," adds guitarist Mike Sarkisyan. "We just finished the best record of our careers and we're really excited to get it out there." The band is set to begin touring the country and will be coming to a town near you on their headlining run beginning on September 29th.

Buckcherry has been announced as the tour support for Guns N’ Roses on a handful of dates for the upcoming U.S. tour.
Buckcherry vocalist Josh Todd was once a candidate to front the band Velvet Revolver, which consists mostly of former members of GN’R. While he didn’t end up replacing Axl Rose as the voice in front of Slash, Duff McKagan, and Matt Sorum — he will be the voice in front of Axl…sort of.
It was just announced that Buckcherry will be the openers for the upcoming Fall 2011 Guns N’ Roses U.S. Tour. Buckcherry is scheduled for five dates thus far and more may be added. The band already has separate dates booked starting in mid-November — so it’s likely that another opener will be named for the latter half of the tour.
