_"I couldn't be more excited to be a part of the Fearless family! Fearless and Bob Becker have supported The Summer Set since the beginning, so it's great to have found a new home. John and I have been in LA all summer writing some of the best songs we've ever written. We can't wait to release this record on a great new label and celebrate by drinking Corona's on Bob's boat. Cheers!" - Brian Dales, Lead Singer 

No strangers to the stage, The Summer Set have toured with the likes of Plain White T's, We The Kings, The Cab, and Cartel. This fall will be no different as the band will continue their non-stop touring to both South America and then to the U.K. with Mayday Parade, culminating in a full U.S. tour with All Time Low, The Downtown Fiction, and Hit The Lights.

_Modern progressive rock band Coheed and Cambria’s upcoming sixth studio album will be a double concept album entitled “The Afterman”, which will be released in two separate full-length volumes. The band made the announcement today via a cinematic video trailer on their official website.

The first volume, ‘The Afterman: Ascension’ will be available on both physical and digital platforms October 8, 2012 via V2 Recordings / Everything Evil and the second volume, ‘The Afterman: Descension’ is slated for release in February 2013.

The trailer, a 90-second black and white classic film-noir style short, from director Robert Schober, depicts a cosmonaut preparing to leave his spaceship for a journey into a mysterious unknown; over an instrumental Coheed and Cambria musical bed.

The band also confirmed a handful of intimate U.S. club shows leading up to the release of ‘Afterman’, with a UK tour in November of this year which follows Coheed and Cambria’s Main Stage performances at Reading and Leeds 2012.

A deluxe version of the ‘Afterman’ will include a hardcover coffee-table book with expansive art by Heidi Taillefer and Nathan Spoor with collaborative written work from singer / creator Claudio Sanchez and writer Peter David that will create a song by song experience.  David previously worked with Sanchez on the prose novel adaptation of the band’s 2010 album “Year of the Black Rainbow,” and the graphic novel adaptation of their 2003 album “In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 (which reached #4 on the New York Times Bestsellers list for graphic novels earlier this year).” All the band’s titles, including “The Afterman,” fall into a grand sci-fi story arc called ‘The Amory Wars.”

It was announced previously at this month’s San Diego Comic Con that The Amory Wars has been picked up by Mark Wahlberg and Stephen Levinson of Leverage Productions to be developed into a live-action feature film.

“This is without a doubt, the most honest record I’ve ever written,” says Sanchez. “Though all the songs can be interpreted through our main character in the story, they were initially written in a very spontaneous manner.” “In the past,” he continues,” I’ve always had a predetermined idea of what the story was going to be when I approached the songs. With ‘The Afterman’ being a new story within the (Amory Wars) arc, I allowed the events of my life to drive the concept, and therefore opened up the songwriting to a fuller degree.”
