The second teaser trailer for the latest in the Star Wars franchise was released today. IMDb informs us that the seventh film, entitled Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a continuation thirty years after Episode IV: Return of the Jedi. The cast includes alumni Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Peter Mayhew and others as well as newcomers Lupita Nyong’o and John Boyega.
The unexpected release of the trailer also brought along leaked images of the first posters for the film. These images surfaced on 4chan, making it unclear whether they are official or not. Regardless of the validity of the posters, they’re definitely worth taking a look at.
Episode VII will debut on December 18, 2015. It is unsure if more trailers will be released before this date. Check out the preview for yourself below.

Stream the debut single from The Young Ones featuring Anthony Raneri HERE!
RareBreed Recording Company, a brand new label whose culture and aesthetic is deeply rooted in 60’s soul and reggae tradition, proudly unveils the debut single from new Ska and Reggae artists The Young Ones, featuring Anthony Raneri of celebrated indie and punk band Bayside on vocals.
The track, aptly titled "The Young Ones," is a cover of the 1960's classic from Cliff Richard and The Shadows, and is available as the debut release from the newly launched imprint, whose mission it is to shine a spotlight on two genres currently experiencing a resurgence, and are arguably more successful than they've been in their storied history.
Released on white flexi-disc vinyl, the new Young Ones single is available as part of the label's Collector's Box Set subscription series (currently shipping now), with future releases to land in subscribers' mailboxes every two months (white Flexi vinyl is exclusive to box-se subscriptions, black flexi single available and limited to 135 for those not wanting to be a part of the subscription).
Machine Gun Kelly has dropped his first single off of his untitled, sophomore album. The song A Little More features Victoria Monet and is available for purchase here.

The second album from Matt Skiba and the Sekrets, entitled KUTS, is due for releaseJune 2nd (North America) and June 1st (Europe) on Superball Music. The album cover, photographed by Jonathan Weiner, is seen for the first time above.
Skiba's first album with the Sekrets, 2012's Babylon, received adulation from both fans and press. Now, Matt Skiba and his Sekrets (Hunter Burgan on bass, Jarrod Alexander drums) ready the release of KUTS. Skiba's ongoing work in Alkaline Trio has been a well-documented punk rock success story, and the vocalist/guitarist has recently performed several gigs as a temporary member of punk/alt icons Blink-182.
Says Skiba of KUTS: "The writing style and entire approach to this new one was a stronger desire to do something fairly different from my other band. We used sounds hugely influenced by early David Bowie stuff and took more chances. I knew that the playing of Hunter and Jarrod would bring entirely new elements to the songs that would help shape them in a huge way and influence ideas that I would never have thought of on my own. They did great stuff for the last record but had even more freedom on this one. It really shaped the way this record sounds."
Produced by Rob Schnapf (who has also worked with Elliott Smith, Beck and the Vines), Skiba says "I went in with really open and stark ideas, knowing that Rob would breathe life into the very vague ideas I had. I had written progressions and lyrics as well as some leads and key parts, but knew that what I was going to come out of that studio with would be completely different than what I walked in with."
The result is heard throughout the 10 songs comprising the brilliant KUTS. While the frontman will be touring with Alkaline Trio for the bulk of the spring and summer, he is committed to bringing the new material, and some favorites from Babylon, to life on the stage as his schedule permits.
The track list for KUTS is as follows:
1. Lonely and Kold
2. She Wolf
3. Krazy
4. She Said
5. I Just Killed to Say I love You
6. Way Bakk When
7. Krashing
8. Hemophiliak
9. Never Believe
10. Vienna
