Hello world,



Are you paying attention Spain? Do you recognize the place on the cover? It's the harbour in Gijon. All photos used in the artwork were taken during our trip to Spain early last year.

Oh in case you missed it, a short recap: We recorded an EP with Dirk Miers at De Studio in Asse (BE) at the beginning of this year. Nico van Montfort took care of the mastering at XPZ Sound in Nijmegen (NL). 4 songs of that session will end up on a 7" (no room left for a single second of music without decreasing sound quality) and all 6 of them will make it to the MCD.

With the mastering and artwork being done now and a date for the releaseshow being set, we can finally put up an MP3 and start to take pre-orders. So here we go:

MP3

Into The Distance

Or you can always check it out at our Myspace.

RELEASE SHOW

The release show is set for the 7th of June @ Innocent, Hengelo (NL). We're glad we'll be playing the recently renewed Innocent again. We love the place. As for other bands playing, we're working on it, but Tenement Kids (NL) and Mans Ruin (BE) will be there to join the party with us. More info later.

ORDERING INFO

All pre-orders will be shipped before the release show (end of May), so you can learn how to mumble along to the words and put on your dancing shoes for some serious 'move-rehearsels'. All for the show, you have to look good in those pictures right? God forbid if you end up on youtube looking silly. Anyway, the 7" pre-orders will have limited edition (Oooooh) cover artwork and on top of that you will receive a code to download the MP3's. Because we're living in the digital age now.

Prices, postage paid:

7":
1: NL: € 5,50 / Europe: € 6,50 / World: € 9,00
2: NL: € 10,- / Europe: € 12,- / World € 18,-
3 NL: € 14,- / Europe: € 16,- / World € 22,-

MCD:
1: NL: € 7,50 / Europe: € 8,50 / World: € 11,00
2: NL: € 14,- / Europe: € 16,- / World € 22,-
3 NL: € 20,- / Europe: € 22,- / World € 28,-

More copies / distro's? Get in touch for some nice wholesale rates.

Since postage prices are a bitch, it's better if you hook up with some friends and get some multiple copies at once so you all save on shipping costs. Unity, you know. Or you can simply pick up your copy at a show, MCD's will be 6 euro at shows, 7"es will be 4 euro.

But simply put:

PRE-ORDER YOUR 7" COPY NOW! DEW IT!
PRE-ORDER YOUR MCD COPY NOW! DEW IT!

So after a short time of writing new songs, preparing for and recording a new release we're getting geared up again. Full speed ahead. Here's the deal:


ENDLESS ROADS

Maybe you've heard about it already, maybe you didn't, but our upcoming release is called "Endless Roads" and will be released by the great people at Shield Recordings again. We've recorded 6 songs at De Studio in Asse (Belgium) on the 16 and 17th of February. 4 of those will end up on a lovely 7", all 6 of them will end up on the MCD. At the moment we're working on the mastering and artwork. Pre-order information and MP3's will follow in April. Expect a release in May.

For now we can only offer you a small preview/teaser from our trip to the studio. Nothing special, just a compilation of some shots from the studio with the recordings mixed in (please note they're NOT the final masters). It has to do for now though.





UPCOMING SHOWS / INVADING EUROPE AGAIN

We've got the following shows coming up.

2008-03-15 @ Die Volksschule, Moers (GER) / Break The Chains Fest #3 - Day II
2008-03-16 @ De Stage, Arnhem (NL) / Remain LP Release show

2008-04-19 @ De Wissel, Mill (NL)
2008-05-01 @ Mechelen (BE)
2008-05-02 @ Brugge (BE)

We're working on some other shows, but since they're not confirmed yet there's no point in listing them here, keep an eye on our site or Myspace. Aside from that we're planning a short trip through Europe to visit Spain again. We've had a great time on our first trip and we're hoping for the same kind of experience. Below you can find what route we've got in mind, something like that.

MON JULY 07 - FRANCE
TUE JULY 08 - SPAIN

Get in touch if you think you can help us out or know people who might!

DISTRO

You might have seen that the Pressure Release tapes (a small tape label I'm running) were available from our site for quite some time already, but now we decided to give the whole online distro an update. Aside from the Said And Done & Pressure Release Records (Maaswater Veenlijk tape out! Get it now so you can sell it on E-Bay when they're sold out) stuff we also carry a selection of zines. Get in touch if you want to see your stuff up there. Check it out at www.saidanddone.org/distro.

Take care and keep thinking,

Said And Done

PS> Reflections is putting out the Only Living Witness records on vinyl. We're siked, you should be too. R.I.P. Justice. I'm working on the first issue of my "Some Will Never Know" zine. Keep an eye out for it somewhere in 2008. In the meantime make sure to pick up Clocked In #3 zine.

This is just a message to show we're still alive. No worries.

We'll enter De Studio in Asse this weekend to record a couple of songs. More details on that soon.

As from the weekend of the 15th and 16th of March we'll be playing shows again. We've got a couple of shows listed now, but get in touch. That list needs to grow.
