*Tooth and Nail Trauma!
          -
Bleach is breaking up, citing a desire to move on. They'll be conducting two more tours, and ending their stellar 8.5 year run in August. See their website for more details.
          - And in a not-so-peachy breakup, Further Seems Forever has seemingly imploded. The band that always had trouble with singers has been stranded by yet another, leaving FSF screwed on almost all ends. But, their third and final album will be completed, and they will retain their spot as headliners on the Tooth and Nail Tour. More details at furtherseemsforever.com.

*Bleeding Heart's Melody is finishing up their new album "Exhale Life". From what we've heard so far, it's a departure from what you've heard before from BHM. And it's a good, good departure. Hear clips at their website.
