Update 5/4 (MY BIRTHDAY!!!!)

Hi everyone! Today's my birthday! (No need to get me anything) There are a few updates I wish to share:

Skillet has announced that their new album will be titled Awake and will be released this August. It was produced by Howard Benson, who's also worked with Three Days Grace, Flyleaf, Daughtry, and POD. Kind of funny, since their last album was called Comatose. Comatose? Awake? They are currently on the Comatose Tour with Disciple and Decyfer Down, which, much like last year, is doing very well and selling out a lot.

Ivoryline announced today on their Twitter that they are writing. Keep looking for new stuff from them coming next year.

The Classic Crime has also been updating their Twitter a lot, and lead vocalist Matt McDonald says that they are also writing new music.

Switchfoot. Their new album is coming out in September. And according to RadioU, they are releasing four albums over the course of the next year (?). I'll check back to give you the facts later, but I wouldn't get too excited.

Hawk Nelson is writing new material.

Project 86 has decided on a title and release date for their new album. It's going to be called Picket Fence Cartel and will be released on July 14th. The track listing is as follows:
1. Destroyer
2. The Butcher
3. The Spectacle of Fearsome Acts
4. Dark Angel Dragnet
5. Cold and Calculated
6. Picket Fence Cartel
7. A John Hancock With The Safety Off
8. Two Glass Eyes
9. Cyclonus
10. The Black Brigade
11. To Sand We Return

August Burns Red will be releasing Constellations on the same day as Project 86's new album, so look out for that, cause it'll hit you hard if you don't.

Emery's new album is up for preorder, and you can get it here. It releases June 2nd.

Tomorrow, Decyfer Down releases their sophmore album, Crash, which, if it's anything like their debut, is no big deal. But, also, The Devil Wears Prada releases With Roots Above And Branches Below, which is completely amazing if you haven't heard it yet.

So, all in all, the following are the bands that are working on albums or have albums coming out in the future:

Decyfer Down, The Devil Wears Prada, The Drawing Room (Joel from TFK's side project), Family Force 5, Emery, Hawk Nelson, Everyday Sunday, Project 86, Stryper, Flyleaf, Skillet, Switchfoot, Pillar, House of Heroes, Relient K, Showbread, Thousand Foot Krutch, Spoken, Secret & Whisper, Breaking The Silence, The Almost, and The River Empires (Falling Up's side project).

That's a lot to look forward to! Don't forget to follow me on Twitter, and check back a lot so you can be up to date on what's going on!
