We were so excited about the new site that we didn’t get around to reporting the news this week. So, here it is, a few days late.

Summer Tours!

Last Thursday, there were two separate tour announcements – one with The Whomping Willows, Justin Finch-Fletchley and the Sugar Quills, and The Moaning Myrtles; the other with Pottercast, The Remus Lupins, and The Whomping Willows! All the booked tour dates can be found on our calendar in the sidebar or the bands’ MySpaces.

Albums

Prophets of Godrics Hollow has their latest album available for free download here.

Jarrod of Gred and Forge spent this weekend packaging and shipping copies of his new album, Pitches Witches Riches, so if you ordered one, it should be coming your way very soon. If you haven’t ordered it yet, you can still do so on his MySpace or get it instantly from iTunes. (I recommend the instant gratification.)

Swish and Flick have finished recording their first full-length album, S-L-Y in Slytherin, which will “hopefully be available by LeakyCon”. If you’re lucky enough to make it to the Pre-LeakyCon Extravaganza on May 20th, you will also be able to snag a copy a little early.

Songs

The Lost Diadems have two new songs up, ‘You Left Me’ and ‘One Day’, a collaboration with Dawlish and the Archies.

Check out the three new songs from one of the newest wrock bands, The Quibbler Writing Staff. They’ve added ‘We Took Harry Potter’s Side’, ‘Remus Lupin, What’s That You’re Doing?’, and ‘She May Be Bossy, But I Love Her Smile’.

Scarlet Women also added three new songs, ‘Horcruxes’, ‘REWIND’, and ‘Dumbledore’s Body’.

Teen Thestral also has something new up – ‘Luna Loves You’.

The Whomping Willows has released yet another new song from his upcoming album called ‘Don’t Let Me Explode’, with harmonies sung by Lauren of The Moaning Myrtles.

Videos

You can hear The Swedish Shortsnouts performing a sound check of ‘The Snape Song’ for the Wrock Gothenburg show in Gothenburg, Sweden, on Friday right here.

The Remus Lupins have a new video for ‘Seven Potters’, directed by Brandon Nicholas. If you haven’t seen this yet, check out its noir-y goodness below.
