Patrick Stump Annouces EP Release

"Formal album releases take so much time to prepare, I'd like to announce the release of Truant Wave, a digital EP I've put together of songs I felt strongly about but didn't have place for within the narrative of Soul Punk. Having recorded Soul Punk as the sole performer and writer, creating Truant Wave also presented a welcome opportunity for me to work with some of my gifted friends on my solo material. Anyway, I'm psyched on this EP, hope you like it. See you on the road."

Wale Wants To Make Maybach Music

Wale announced that he has signed with Maybach Music Group. This comes to no surprise after the DC emcee frequently tweeted about being in the studio with Maybach Music Group founder Rick Ross. Before any rumors could start he let it be known that, "the music won't change...the energy will. And ROCNATION still handles the business." So Wale will make the music he wants, Ross tha Boss will oversee it, and Jay Z will take most of the money(not in a dishonest way of course).

"The white stripes would like to announce that today, February 2nd 20ll, their band has officially ended and will make no further new recordings or perform live. The reason is not due to artistic differences or lack of wanting to continue, nor any health issues as Meg and Jack are feeling fine and in good health."

Read the full announcement here. For all of you that worshiped "Fell In Love With A Girl"(after the jump),"Seven Nation Army", the whole Elephant album, and the band in general, I mourn with you.

Update: Is Paramore Breaking Up? Josh and Zac's Side

The answer is sort of. Two members, Josh and Zac Farro, are leaving the band. The brothers announced their departure last week to the other members in the band. The remaining members, including lead singer Hayley Williams, posted an announcement on the bands website. Surprisingly, the statement was more than just a company formatted send off.

*Update*: Josh and Zac released their own, tell all, "exit statement". They call out Hayley and her manager for taking over the band and taking it in a direction they didn't agree with. Go here to read the whole thing.

Is Paramore Breaking Up?

The remaining members, including lead singer Hayley Williams, posted an announcement on the bands website. Surprisingly, the statement was more than just a company formatted send off.

"None of us were really shocked. For the last year it hasn't seemed as if they wanted to be around anymore."

Hopefully, this won't be like the Panic! At the Disco fiasco; members leaving back to back. As long as Hayley is in the band I don't particularly care.
