“Third Wave” – ‘new’ song online

With the current political situation in the Netherlands, we thought it was fitting to upload “Third Wave” from the Weight Of The World 7” now. Lyrically inspired by “Die Welle” (or “The Wave”) and the “Third Wave” experiment it paints a picture that hopefully doesn’t get too familiar in the nearby future. While the signs show otherwise, let’s hope we did learn from our past. You can listen to it at any of the social networks listed below. The 7” is still available directly from our website, Carry The Weight in the UK or Interpunk if you live in the USA.

Lineup changes

Some of you probably already know but Remco’s leaving the band. No juicy details or fights this time either. We only want to thank him for the good times and wish him all the best with whatever he’s going to do next. His final show will be at the Bunker in Gemert on the 24th of October. In Brabant. We didn’t had to look too far for a replacement. Goran, who went with us on a couple of trips already (and replaced Stef at the 25 Years Innocent show) is our new guitar player. You might know him from his other band, Make Them Suffer, too.

UK trip

In November we’ve got a trip to the UK coming up again, making a stop in Belgium too:

To the zineheads out there: Pim’s zine Some Will Never Know #2 will be ready for the trip too (if everything goes to plan).

Aside from that we’ll be searching for the light in January when we’re playing some shows with Supertouch in Germany. In the meantime we’re focusing on writing for a full length. The stuff we’ve got so far is pretty diverse. No boundaries.

Stay classy internet people.

First of all, Sunday (tomorrow) we’re playing the Innocent in Hengelo (NL). We’ll be celebrating 25 years of Innocent. That’s quite a milestone. I’ve seen so many cool shows over there and we played some  great shows ourselves (Light The Fuse fest, Earth Crisis, Merauder etc. etc.) at that place.  No to mention it’s run by some amazing people too. Big shout out to Serge and co. It’s going to be a special show anyway. Icepick is doing a final show and you all know you want to see that (also releasing their last 7″). Bitter End is playing (Will they be doing that Only Living Witness intro again?), New Morality, etc. etc… We figured, since it’s a party and we’re playing the Innocent again next month (Come see us with Blacklisted and This Routine Is Hell) we should do something different this time. So we’re going to play mostly covers. If you saw us throughout the years you kinda now what covers to expect, but there’s one surprise in there. ”You are all pawns. Devil or angel, come on over and do the twist. Memories of the times you had, just uncomfortable“.

There’s also some big non-band news, that’s actually band-related. Stef (& Line) are expecting a baby anyday now. Yes, Stef’s going to be a daddy. Can you imagine? While that is great news it also means that it’s quite possible that Stef isn’t playing with us in Hengelo. No worries, we asked Goran (from Make Them Suffer) to step in, in case that’s needed. More about him later, but it’s not the last time you’ll be seeing him on stage with us.

Ok, that’s all this weekend, but we’ve got more cool shows lined up. As mentioned above we’re playing with Blacklisted next month, but there’s more: a trip to the UK again and playing our friends Strike First their last show in November and early next year we’re playing with Supertouch in Germany. From 25th of March / 3rd of April we’re planning to head over to Denmark / Sweden / Finland with Upright (Finland), but more about that later. If you wanna hook us up feel free to get in touch. Good times.

If zines are your thing, we had some interview published recently: Cudown Lata (Polish / The Wonder Years (English) features an interview with me about Said And Done and Some Will Never Know etc. Get it in our distro. There’s also an interview in the second issue of Spanish zine The Chapter, but I haven’t seen the final result of that yet. If you do a zine, you can always get in touch. For an interview or to get your zine in the distro.

That’s all for now. It’s August. Vacation time you know. In the meantime we’re mainly writing new songs for a full length. But there’s not much I can tell you about that yet.

Oh and as always – Follow us on Twitter and/or join us on Facebook to stay up to date between these updates.

Take care,
Pim
