"After seeing the band play at Milwaukee's Summer Fest, I was impressed with Flatfoot's energy live,” said Vinnie Fiorello, Paper + Plastick owner. “I had heard the records, but nothing prepared me for how good the band is on stage."

Flatfoot 56 will once again record with the Street Dogs’ Johnny Rioux for the follow-up to 2010’s critical and fan success Black Thorn. “We decided that since the last experience with Johnny was so beneficial, we wanted to repeat it,” frontman Tobin Bawinkel said. “We have been friends with Johnny for years. Our mutual respect fosters a good creative environment for putting together a record. He knows how to challenge us and push us the next level, which is what any band hopes for.”

Bawinkel, along with his brothers Justin (drums) and Kyle (bass), Eric McMahon (bagpipes/guitar), and Brandon Good (mandolin/guitar), are ready to lead Flatfoot 56’s furious march forward.

Playing a positive-natured brand of hardcore-tinged Celtic punk, Flatfoot 56 has been unleashing itself upon America and the rest of the world for over 10 years now. Forming in 2000, the Chicago natives achieved nationwide attention with their first two label-backed records, 2006’s Knuckles Up and 2007’s Jungle of the Midwest Sea. These releases built on a heavy dose of previously established regional notoriety, helping the band gain steam early on.

While each record received its fair share of acclaim, the quintet exploded onto a new level with 2010’s Black Thorn. Landing the band on a total of 9 Billboard Charts, Flatfoot 56 proved it could consistently reach an expanding audience while treading in a genre not often associated with widespread success.

The band will enter Matt Allison’s Chicago-based Atlas Studios in January to record its first release for Paper + Plastick Records. “We have always respected Paper + Plastick’s independent approach to putting out records because they always seem to promote the creative side of the album,” Bawinkel said. “As a band we all really value that creative vision, and Paper + Plastick is the place to be for that.”

"Atlas Studios keeps churning out thick sonically great sounding records,” Fiorello said. “The combination of Johnny, Flatfoot 56, and Atlas will make for the band’s best record to date."

While the record is set to be more rootsy and folk-oriented, it promises to pack the same relentless, knock-down punch that fans have grown to expect from Flatfoot 56. More than a decade into its career, Flatfoot 56 isn’t slowing down, but maintaining a blistering pace of touring and musical output. “The next record's sound is taking on a much more mature, heartfelt tone,” Bawinkel said. “We’re writing these songs as life gets thrown at us, and as we all get a bit older and start to interpret life in different ways, we want to express ourselves to reflect the victories and defeats that we all go through. We still love whipping the crowd into a frenzy and making everybody dance but we want to write some tunes that people can relate to, and that they can sing along to.”]]> The Fest 10! http://paperandplastick.com/news.php?article_id=451 Sun, 23 Oct 2011 00:00:00 -0700

3 new songs and 1 Descendents cover, Melodic hardcore meets ska-punk and as always there's some great guitar work, WATU always bring full tilt catchiness to every song and this EP is no exception. New Full length being recorded soon as well.

Here's what absolutepunk.net has to say about there last full length LP "Great Leaps Foward":

This is modern-day melodic punk with some horns thrown in merely to give it some flavor. LTJ comparisons aside, Great Leaps Forward manages to whip out 14 tracks in just over half an hour, weaving in and out of tall tales concerning growing up (both on the road and in Michigan), living fast and being with the ones you love. It's honest, genuine and there are no theatrics or explosions or concepts to distract from what the record really is: an inspired, heartfelt album that appeals to the band's own generation of young Midwesterners who affectionately love to play music.

Due to a manufacturing error where the vinyl is mislabeled, Paper + Plastick has decided to sell the 7”s to fans for $2.50, the price it costs to make each piece. The split is available in three different variations – black/gray/blue split in thirds, blue with gray haze and light blue with gray dust – and is limited to just over 1,000 copies total. It is also available in a digital only format, for just $2.00.



Both bands have two songs each on the split, playing similar brands of old-school, 90s-style pop-punk. The Dopamines’ half comes after their 2010 full-length, Expect the Worst, which gained the band a stronger following on the basis of songs like "Public Domain." The split precedes a series of releases planned for the coming year stemming from recordings the band did in March with Matt Yonker of The Queers and Teen Idol. Dear Landlord is still riding the momentum of 2009’s acclaimed Dream Homes and their half of this release, produced by Matt Allison (The Menzingers, Alkaline Trio, We Are The Union), has been highly anticipated from fans.



The entire split will be streaming at thepunksite.com for the entire week. Dear Landlord and The Dopamines will both continue touring in 2011 and will both be playing The Fest 10 in Gainesville in late October.]]>
