After years of fronting popular indie punk act I Am The Avalanche and formerly hardcore punk band The Movielife, accomplished New York songwriter Vinnie Caruana is announcing plans to release his debut solo EP out early 2013 on I Surrender / Run For Cover Records.

Miss The Movielife's final show tonight? Me too. Sounds like it is a great one too. Brand New's opening (adding to my jealousy of those there). Here's to one of my favorite bands growing up ... I'm breaking out the old tunes for you.
Some live acoustic videos from a house show last week featuring Polar Bear Club, Brandon Reilly, Vinnie Caruana and Brandon and Vinnie together as The Movielife can be found here.
At Bamboozle, Further Seems Forever announced that they are working on a new EP with Chris Carraba on vocals. You can also see The Movielife's reunion setlist here.
Vinnie Caruana played a new I Am The Avalanche song at the recent Barbary show in Philadelphia. He said it "may be" on the new record before playing the song, then said that the new album is too up tempo for this song. Head to the replies to see a video. Vinnie also asked the crowd if anyone would be seeing their The Movielife show next month in May and that there "may be" more shows after that. Kenny Vasoli also played a new The Starting Line song and Brandon Reilly played a new Nightmare of You song.
Head to the replies to watch Jon from Balance and Composure join Vinnie Caruana on stage at the Barbary in Philly to play a song. They also played several The Movielife songs, which can be seen here.

You can check out a review I wrote of the acoustic show I attended last Sunday featuring Anthony Raneri (of Bayside) & Vinnie Caruana (of I Am The Avalanche) right here. As always, check the replies for pictures and videos of the event!
Later this month, Bayside will be playing two acoustic shows. The second will be with Vinnie of I Am The Avalanche, where they will be playing both The Movielife and IATA songs. The special guest(s) for the first show have not been announced yet.
