Mike Peters is marking the 30th anniversary of The Alarm with ‘The Sound and The Fury,’ a 12-track collection of “brand-new recordings of songs that have been written at various stages throughout (his) songwriting history” that will come with a 90-minute making-of documentary.

After marking the 30th anniversary of their debut ‘Los Angeles’ with a run of West Coast dates last Christmas, roots-punk legends X will reprise that show — featuring a screening of ‘X: The Unheard Music’ and a performance of the 1980 album front-to-back — on a 10-date tour this fall.

Synthpop greats Erasure have shared a second preview of the bonus DVD that comes with its reissue of 1986 debut ‘Wonderland,’ which arrives Monday in the U.K. alongside a reissue of 1987’s ‘The Circus.’

This week’s installment of Slicing Up Eyeballs on Strangeways Radio featured tracks by The Undertones, Bob Mould, Pixies, The Jam, The The and X-Ray Spex, plus a special tribute to the ‘Until the End of the World’ soundtrack.

4AD will celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Throwing Muses’ debut with the band’s first-ever compilation, a 21-song set called ‘Anthology’ that will come with, in its initial limited release, a hard-back book and a bonus disc with 22 additional B-sides and rarities.

The latest installment in the The AV Club’s great Undercover series — in which bands drop in on the site’s Chicago offices and pick a song off a predetermined list to cover live in a very small room — features power-pop kings Sloan doing a number on Gary Numan’s 1979 classic ‘Cars.’

KMFDM will spend much of the second half of 2011 on the road supporting its recently released album ‘WTF?!’, with a 22-date North American tour set for August and another 22 concerts booked across Europe in October and November.
