Update on the Weight Of The World pre-orders

Pim — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 17:00:22 +0000

Just a short update for everyone waiting on their pre-orders. There has been a delay/error with the labels of the 7″, but that got fixed and now they should get in this week. Tomas from the label told us that they would start shipping it to you all on the 29th of April, that’s this Thursday. So thanks for your patience, the wait is almost over! We’ll be adding pre-order sleeves too now. We didn’t plan that originally, but since you had to wait for quite a bit, we wanted to add something. For everyone that didn’t pre-order yet, last chance will be this week.

The new 7″ will be released on our trip through the UK with Never Again (14/15/16 May), hope to see you there!

In other news: Pim put up a blog for his zine “Some Will Never Know”, check it out at www.somewillneverknow.org

That’s all for now.

Back from tour and what’s coming up

As you probably already know by now, we got back safe and sound from our last trip through Europe. A tour report will come online soon, but in the meanwhile you’ll just have to take our word for it: We had a blast. It’s still amazing to cross borders, go places we haven’t been before and see people sing along and mosh to our songs. This trip also marked the debut of our new bassplayer Toby. We’re glad we found someone that fast after the departure of Joep and are looking forward to write new songs in this line-up. Get ready!

Oh and if you have any photo or video material or something from our shows, get in touch. We would love have as much material for this tourreport and our archive as possible!

So what’s coming up next?

The “Weight Of The World” 7″ got delayed. We had hoped to have it with us on our trip but because of major delays at the pressing plant it’s still not ready. The last we heard was a shipping date of 7 April. That means it gets shipped to the UK on that date. Hopefully it will be ready not much later. Sorry for the delays people, this one was completely out of our (or the label’s) hands. We made sure it was all there on time. To anyone that wants to get, but didn’t pre-order it yet, pre-orders are still online (because of the delay) but not for long. Get with the program @ http://ctwrecords.bigcartel.com/ oh and sign up for their board too.

We’ve got a nice weekend coming up in April. On Saturday the 10th of April we’re going back to Wijhe. We played there in 2007 and had a blast. We’re playing with Strike First, Cornered and To The Test, so that’s going to be a party without a doubt. I think Final Stand is playing a short set in their new line-up too. The next day we’re playing Aarle-Rixtel, closing off the fourth edition of the Easter Breakdown Fest together with Make Them Suffer, State Of Affairs, To The Test (again) and Accept The Change. If a miracle happens we might have our new record with us, but don’t count on it.

In May we’re hitting the UK again. This time we’ll be joined by Never Again, the newest straight edge sensation from the UK. We’re playing Alex B’s birthday party at our favorite venue in Wales, Le Pub on Friday. On the Saturday we’re hitting Nottingham again at The Central, made possible by the NGHC. On Sunday we’ll be in London for the first time @ the Grosvenor. Oh and even without a miracle we’ll probably have our new record with us. Groovy!

That’s all for now kids. Stay classy.

PS > We’ll get back to the distro orders ASAP. Still catching up.

December is a busy month

No this is not the usual annual reflection (I’ll do that in the new year) or a ‘best wishes everyone’ (you know we wish you all the best). But before we leave for our weekend trip I’ll let you all in on what’s going on currently in S&D world:

First of all we got a message at the end of November / early December letting us know that our planned studio time (29/30/31 Januari) for the “Weight Of The World” EP wasn’t going to work. Luckily we could reschedule (thanks to Nico and Cheating Death for helping us out here!). They’re now spread over 3 separate dates and pushed forward 2 weeks. Nothing big, we’ll just have to shift gears a bit. We’ll still be done in time for the European trip.

Then we got notice from Joep last week that he couldn’t do the release weekend (the one we’re leaving for tomorrow) because of job issues. It’s not his fault or anything, but it sucks. So we had to drop working on the new songs and find a replacement fast. Enter our saviour Rick. You’ll more about him later, all you need to know for now is that we focused entirely on learning him the songs for this weekend. And he managed to do just that, so give the dude some credit.

Aside from that there were final preparations to be done for the “Feel It” EP that we’re releasing this weekend. The last couple of days have been spend finishing and printing the lyric sheets, programming the download system and printing the download cards and stuff like that. Oh and there was a van to be picked up and between all of that we had some regular work to do too.

So in case you wondering why we didn’t mail you back yet about your pre-order (still a couple of copies left by the way)… We just didn’t have the time yet (the same reason my Some Will Never Know #2 zine is pushed back for an early 2010 release). They’re all noted though, no worries. After this weekend we’ll get to all of you as soon as possible. And I would like to take this opportunity to say, once again, thanks to you guys (& girls) for the support. It’s appreciated.

But in the end it all comes down to the shows this weekend. We’re hoping to close off the year with a bang, so we hope to see all of you there:

First up is JUHA, Rosswein:

We only heard good stuff about JUHA and we’re siked to see Michael (Greyli) again. Awesome dude.

Sunday we’re hitting Aachen again, to play with our friends in Goldust and World Gone Mad:

Come on over and do the twist.
