Fat Wreck Chords has just announced a new No Use For A Name release. They’re set to release Rarities Vol 1: The Covers on August 11th, which is the result of combing through the band’s archives, channeling their inner-Me First and the Gimme Gimmes. Included in the collection are covers of Cheap Trick, Sublime, The Misfits, The Pogues, and more! Here’s hoping Vol 2 isn’t far off. Check out the track listing here.

Blink-182 has just released a new video for “Home Is Such A Lonely Place” from last year’s California album. It’s a nice clip, showing the guys being chill dudes at home, which is something we don’t often get to see.
