No more shows. We’re done.
All upcoming showsNo, no… Not yet 😉
But… Takeo from Positive Outlook recently opened up an online hardcore merch store in the land of the ninja’s and has some of our merch for sale over there.
He already put some of the stuff up there, but there’s more to come. So keep an eye out for that.
To introduce the Japanese people to the band we made a special promo CD-R (as seen above) that has two tracks of every record we did so far. It’s unavailable elsewhere.
Pretty cool to see our stuff reaching out that far.
So let’s see…. England was great! It was cool to hook up with the classy lads of Never Again and play some shows in the UK again. Going back to Le Pub in Newport, wandering around in Nottingham again… Felt good. Our first time in London was like home: Rainy. Thanks go out to Never Again & Carry The Weight, Alex, Alan, Caroline, Charlie, the No Reality guys (Birmingham! ;)) and everyone else that helped us out or came to the shows. Here’s a video of us doing Leeway’s “Rise And Fall” @ Le Pub in Newport, Wales (the beginning is cut):
We’ll be back in November. We’re playing Canterbury on Sunday the 7th of November. More info on that show later, you’ll want to be there though. If anyone can hook us up with a show on the 6th (Saturday) please get in touch! That weekend will start with a show in Lendelede, Belgium on the 5th by the way.
It’s out. Our record is now officially out, go pick it up. Get it straight from our website or from Carry The Weight Records (get in touch with them for wholesale prices too).
This is what Aversionline.com had to say about it:
… (Weight Of The World) sees the band continuing to improve upon their unique style of hardcore. The driving midpaced rhythms and sincere vocals (which combine a gruff edge with vague hints of actual singing) are still the driving force, but there are a few more tempo changes happening this time around – lending both a little more crunch as well as a little more melody to the songwriting. There are a lot of quick little lead riffs going on, and the basslines feel more active here as well, which is always a plus and makes perfect sense given the band’s solid sense of groove. It’s the vocals that really give the material a different energy than a lot of what’s out there, though, and that makes a huge difference for me. I guess European hardcore bands still tend to fall on the underrated side of things, ’cause if Said and Done was from the US and signed to a label like Deathwish Inc. or something, I can’t help but think more people would be all over this shit… – Andrew (Aversionline.com (USA) – May 2010)
More reviews here. If you want to do a review too, get in touch.
In other news: Working on new songs, chilling in the sun, playing some shows here and there (Sweden/Finland next year? Maybe…) and being siked Restless Youth is playing a show again.
As always, get in touch if you want us to play your show. Oh and follow us on Twitter and join us on Facebook. Because you can.
It’s out. Being able to hold your new record in your own hands. It’s a damn good feeling. Still. Every time.
But no time to enjoy that. We’re gearing up for our trip this weekend. We’ll be releasing this record in the UK, doing 3 shows with Never Again. As I’m typing this Stef is picking up the van. I’m taking caring of the release/trip covers we’ll have with us etc. Lots of stuff to do still. We’re stoked to get back to Newport and Nottingham and it will be our first time in London. Teaming up with the nice clean cut straight edge dudes of Never Again is something we’re looking forward to too. And the best thing? At the moment there are no last-minute cancellations. That’s a first time I think? You can be proud of yourself UK, haha. Let’s hope it stays that way.
Ok enough bullshit, here are the flyers:
We’re leaving Friday morning.
Please spread the word and we hope to see you at one of these shows!
We just received this intelligence from the HQ in the UK. Aint it pretty?
Pre-orders will be shipped this weekend. Thanks for the patience people!
