Congrats East Coast, you will see midnight before the rest of us. And when Aug. 21 arrives, so does new P.O.D.

The SoCal rockers release “The Awakening” Friday and from the sneak peaks we’ve gotten, it will live up to the hype.

Doesn’t seem like it, but “Murdered Love” was all the way back in 2012 and last year, we got an acoustic taste with “SoCal Sessions.” It’s finally time to turn the amp back on.

I’ll be at Best Buy first thing to support the guys. Hope you will, too, even you new-school downloaders. Check back in and let me know what you think about the record.
