Attack Attack! have a new album. You know what this means?
Attack Attack!, the crabcore originators, are streaming their new album, This Means War via YouTube (thanks: ThePRP). You know what this means? Lame puns ahoy.
They be bringing “Revolution” to the local Hot Topic, yo! Don’t be hatin’! I actually listened to the song above, and it sounds like “metalcore meets My Chemical Romance,” so yeah, t’s like 1% better than their previous style which was roughly “metalcore meets Lil Wayne.”

Attack rescheduled, UK safe (for now)
The test of true metalhead. Pictured above is:

b) group photo of random Hot Topic employees
c) UNICEF’s campaign photo for scene kids beatdown prevention (titled: “It’s bad enough for them having to pay huge electricity bills due to hairdryer overuse)
In case you said a, b, c, all three combined or shit, you are a metalhead. In case you said Attack Attack! you are a scene kid and you should stop wearing roadkill on your head.
For the normal folk out there, Attack Attack! is that band who was famous for about five minutes last year when they released Stick Stickly video and invented the crabcore subgenre (33% metalcore, 33% electronica, 33% crab… and 100% crap).
Now, I didn’t know these guys still existed, let alone toured, but it seems to be the case. Anyway, the scene kids in UK might slit their wrists, while the rest of you can pull out those earplugs, because they canceled their UK tour (for the moment).
“We are super bummed that we had to postpone due to Johnny’s illness, but we are more excited than ever to have the shows rescheduled already. The UK has been a huge priority for us for a long time and we’re not going to let anything stand in our way. Thank you to everyone who bought tickets so far in advance, and we look forward to seeing all of you soon!”
We’re not too sure if a broken vocoder or a bad case of crabs could be counted as an illness, but so be it. In case you are bored and want to see the infamous lulfest that the video is, make the jump.
