Plus, August Burns Red hits the studio, The Ongoing Concept releases behind-the-scenes video and Norma Jean kicks off fall tour.

Solid State Records have announced that they’ll be releasing a Christmas compilation called A Midnight Clear on November 24th. It will include Christmas jams from August Burns Red, For Today, Fit For A King, Wolves at the Gate and more.

If you feel some seismic activity this week, don’t worry. It’s just August Burns Red in the studio recording their brand new album for Fearless Records. You can follow their progress on Facebook and also check out some sweet new Christmas merch.

If you haven’t seen The Ongoing Concept’s new western-themed music video for “Saloon,” stop what you’re doing and check it out on RadioU TV. If you have seen it, the band just posted a behind-the-scenes video.

Norma Jean kicked off the Fall Fury Tour last week with a show in Tulsa, Oklahoma. They followed that with a run of shows in Texas before heading to Arizona and California this week.
