Media Updates: Sum 41, The Western States Motel, Cold War Kids

Every week or so Sum 41 will be presenting webisodes called "The Road To Ruin" that chronicle the idiotic exploits of Deryck, Cone and Stevo. Watch live and backstage footage of Sum 41 during their 2005 world tour as they destroy everything that lay in their wake. It's the show the networks don't want you to see! Check it out on sum41.com.

The Western States Motel is the brainchild of Los Angeles' Carl Jordan. His self-titled debut album is a perfect soundtrack to a long solo drive up the west coast - evoking balmy Summer nights, moments and memories recorded in a spare bedroom littered with various beat-up guitars, keyboards and percussion instruments. Check out "Powerlines" MP3 here.

After releasing their jaw-droppingly-good debut album 'robbers & cowards' (Downtown Records) to overwhelming acclaim, the Cold War Kids have now unleashed the video for the album's first single "Hang Me Up To Dry." Check it out at this location.
