Tennessee's Kings of Leon sure like to please their adoring fans. After last years acclaimed third album Because of the Times helped launch the rockers into stardom, the band has decided on releasing a quick follow up. On September 23rd the Kings will debut their fourth full length album through RCA, Only By the Night.

2008 marks California punk band Pennywise's 20th anniversary together. While many bands that have been around for two decades have been known to lose their relevancy over time, Pennywise is currently just as relevant and as popular as they've ever been.

Earlier this year the band released their ninth studio album, Reason to Believe via free download to any and everyone, a stunt that got less publicity than Radiohead recieved but was every bit as ballsy. The first single off of the album "The Western World," was also the band's most successful single ever. And, for the first time ever, the band is set to release a second single from one of their albums, that song will be "Die For You."

I haven't laughed out loud at a picture like this in a long time. With age comes maturity. For the metalfathers of Metallica, so does a desire to find killer deals on Armani.

Metallica's one-stop shopping excursion after the jump.

With eight long years standing between AC/DC's last album Stiff Upper Lip and their upcoming new full length Black Ice, you may be aching for your AC/DC fix. Well worry not, the pride of Australia has recently released their first single off of the new album, "Rock 'n Roll Train."

Joplin, Missouri’s new concert hall The Foundry is labeled as a family friendly venue. That means that smoking and alcohol are forbidden, and coarse language is frowned upon. And in the case of the show that I recently attended, it also means that it’s frequented mostly by junior high kids. It is quite possible though that it was the artists that I decided to see that night that was the primary cause for me being the oldest person in the club. I should have known I suppose. Though I’d never really heard of the night’s headliner Meg & Dia, I soon found out that a good majority of 15 year old girls have.

We here at JPP pride ourselves in not taking sides in political matters in our news stories. Though I'm sure all our staff members have a wealth of opinions on the subject, the last thing you need is another pro-liberal or pro-conservative news source shoving political opinions down your throat.

With that being said, when the soulful r&b singer John Legend took the stage last night in support of Barack Obama, this was a political news story I just had to share.

Las Vegas' controversial indie rockers, The Killers, have recently revealed the title of their upcoming third studio album. According to NME, the new album will be called Day and Age and should drop on Novemeber of this year.

According to an interview with frontman Brandon Flowers, the band is currently in the studio finishing up the disc.

Post-hardcore icon Geoff Rickly, of Thursday fame, has apparently been spending his time as of late on a side project band going by the name United Nations. According to a recent interview, United Nations consists of Rickly and a group of other, anonymous musicians who can not reveal their names due to being under contract with different record labels. Oddly enough, this is not even the strangest thing I'm about to share with you about this new band.

To help usher in the upcoming 2012 Olympic Games in London, UK musicians Leona Lewis and Jimmy Page performed in front of a packed Chinese arena to close out the 2008 Beijing games this morning.

The two performed a version of Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love" with a minor adjustment to the lyrics. The line "I'm gonna give you every inch of my love" was switched to "every bit of my love" as to not offend the Chinese audience who probably couldn't understand what the hell they were saying anyway.
