Starting today, Enter Shikari is giving away a free five-song live EP.

The EP, Live In London NW5 is a recording from a special intimate show the band did for television broadcast. After its recording, low-quality bootlegs strarting roaming the net, so the band decided to release in the quality it deserves.

As we document the ukulele's infiltration of the punk scene, we'd be utterly remiss if we neglected the pUKEs.

A "ukulele anti-society," the pUKEs are a group of friends who came together to play punk covers on the ukulele. With a lineup that includes both first-time musicians and veterans of influential punk bands like UK Subs and Extreme Noise Terror, the band is revising punk history, presenting it in a new and fun way.

We connected with Clara, formerly of the UK Subs, who now professes to be the "slave driver" of the band, to talk about the pUKEs, the ukulele as a punk rock weapon and where to start when you're ready to join the uke revolution.

The interview is here.

The Denton, TX outfit known as the Riverboat Gamblers (or alternately as one of the greatest live bands of all time) is back with The Wolf You Feed, their first full-length release since since 2009's Underneath The Owl, and it's a record that was definitely worth the wait.

The album is due out on May 22, and we have the full review here.

And while you're waiting for the release date, you're invited to download a track from the record for free at the link below.

Against Me! vocalist Tom Gabel has revealed in an interview in the upcoming issue of Rolling Stone that he plans to begin living as a woman. Gabel will soon begin the transition by taking hormones and getting electrolysis.

Gabel plans to eventually take the name Laura Jane Grace, and will remain married to his wife Heather. The two have a two-year-old daughter together.

Before revealing the news to Rolling Stone, Gabel had only told a handful of family and friends about his condition, gender dysphoria, but feels that, as a celebrity, it's important that he's open and honest about his condition. He told Rolling Stone:

I'm going to have embarrassing moments and that won't be fun. But that's part of what talking to you is about - is hoping people will understand, and hoping they'll be fairly kind.

Against Me! is getting ready to head out on the road with the Cult. The new issue of Rolling Stone, with the full interview with Gabel, hits newsstands on May 11.
