The Low Down on the Underground

Former Creed front-man Scott Stapp was arrested last week at his Palm Beach County Florida home. He is charged with one count of domestic assault with intent to commit a felony and was held without bail last night. The wife of Stapp pleaded for authorities to come to the couple's home as she told a dispatcher her husband was "on drugs and pot" and had just thrown a bottle at her, according to an emergency dispatcher's tape released Tuesday.

"He just threw a glass bottle at me," She said in a hysterical call Sunday. "He just came home, he's wasted . . . he's been out partying all night."

She also said Stapp had guns in the home. Asked how many, she said, "I don't know, a lot . . . I don't know, five or 10."

Stapp was arrested Sunday and initially charged with aggravated assault with intent to commit a felony. The charge was reduced to a misdemeanor Monday. Before police arrived, his wife called authorities again saying, "He's hiding all the drugs, he's still under the influence right now."

Things that make me glad my dismal life is so much better than his.

Smashing Pumpkins made their long-awaited return to the stage last Tuesday in Paris and unveiled the new members of the band. Corgan and drummer Jimmy Chamberlin were backed by new members Jeff Schroeder on guitar, Ginger Reyes on bass, and Lisa Harriton on keyboard. The newbies all come from relatively unknown musical projects.

(hed)p.e.'s new album Insomnia has been pushed back to a July 17 release.

Following their summer tour, 311 will enter the studio to begin work on the follow-up to 2005's Don't Tread on Me. Front-man Nick Hexum recently discussed their plans for album and said:

I would say we kind of go through a general cycle of making a more straight=ahead album that comes quickly and then we kind of rotate to more of a departure where we take a longer time making the album and inventing more new styles. And albums like 'Grassroots' and 'Transistor' are more like groundbreaking albums, where the 'Blue' (self-titled) album was more like a culminating of touring and came out more quickly. "So due to that back-and-forth thing, we're due for more of a groundbreaking, take-a-long-time-with-it album. We don't know when it's going to be done. We're not going to make any deadlines and promises, but it's time we slightly reinvent ourselves.

The Deftones have begun work on new material for their next album while currently on the road. Frontman Chino Moreno had this to say:

We're going in there and playing as five of us in the room with just our instruments, no other distractions," he explains. "That's how we started out, basically, when we first started the band—us in the garage, no ProTools or anything to get us ahead of ourselves. We'd just play things over and over again, until we remembered it—that's the rawest way you can do it, and the best, I think.

In addition, Moreno also has plans to release a new album from his Team Sleep project by early 2008.

Collective Soul will release their new album Afterwards on August 14.

After calling it quits in December 2006, Element Eighty have announced their return. The band will begin work on a new studio album soon with a release expected later this year or early 2008. The band will also launch a tour in December.

When November Falls, the side project of Cold vocalist Scooter Ward, have posted a new demo track titled "End of Summer" on their MySpace page. The band will begin recording their debut Series of Emotion on June 1.

Breaking Point guitarist, Justin Rimer, posted a note to fans that the band are on an indefinite hiatus. He has been busy helping produce the new 12 Stones album Anthem for the Underdog, which will be released on August 14. He'll also be touring with them in support of the new record. Rimer says that Breaking Point may put out another record "sooner than later", though.

Inspired by events where my brother, who is a prison guard, walks in on an inmate doing something ridiculous in his cell. The prisoner won't talk and gets into this dialogue via a notepad. After documenting that he can no longer talk because the devil removed his tongue, my brother checks the cons mouth with his flashlight. When he tells him that his tongue is definitely intact, the inmate replies with the cryptic message "Pray for Eyes."

Furthermore, the band recently officially announced Josh Gilbert of This Endearing as their new bassist. Band frontman Tim Lambesis had the following to say about his addition to the line-up:

Based on hearing Josh's previous band, we knew he was a great bass player and singer. But, when he came out to San Diego to try out and rehearse with us, he ended up exceeding our expectations. Shortly after the try out we invited him to come back and fill in for us on our January UK tour. That tour really solidified the fact that Josh is the right guy for us.
