>> Anberlin Announces Acoustic Tour
This week, Anberlin announced a new acoustic tour coming to a city near you this spring, "Hey guys - so we have been wanting to do something for a while now and are finally able to make it happen. We are heading out on a short run of dates next month and we will be approaching our songs from a slightly different perspective...stripped down, acoustic, alternate, intimate, redux, re-approached, etc. All of these will factor into the set... We will be hitting smaller rooms, and playing some cities and areas we don't get to that often. We wanted to attempt something special for you guys, and we hope you'll bring some friends and family out to experience it and sing along with us." The band has been working on a new album, too, which is set to release later this year. (from Anberlin.com)

>> Leviticus Return With New Song
Last Saturday, at the Rock For God's Sake in the Pentecostal Church in Orebro, Sweden, Swedish heavy metal legends Leviticus played a new song, titled "You're The One For Me." The song is the first new song Leviticus since 1989. After a brief comeback in 2003, when the live album "Live At Bobfest" was released, Leviticus reunited in May last year when the band celebrated 30 years. Leviticus does not dare to promise a new album yet, but "You're The One For Me" shows that the joy of playing is back.
