We have posted up a new song called "lazarus" which will be released on a special 7" in support of our next European tour with Integrity, Converge and Coliseum. Pre-orders are being taken now through Holy Shit! Records. Pre-orders will received limited colour vinyl, which will be only available on tour. The release is about to be released in Europe through Holy Shit! Records, and in the US through Surprise Attack Records.
So tomorrow we're heading to Eindhoven for a Cursed benefit show. Together with Reproach, The Hunger and State Of Affairs. Feeling lucky to have seen Cursed twice in this life. They will be missed.
Crossing fingers for a The Swarm reunion, that would be sweet. Check out the Swarm doing a Misfits cover.
No Recess broke up, sadly. But out of the ases arose a new band called Oathbreaker. Harder, better and most of all promising. Here are some snapshots from their current demo. Hunt it down or support them here.
I decided to post up some pictures behind the scenes for the Amen Ra and Hitch artwork which has been released on a split 7" done by Vlas Vegas Records. The record is limited to 666 copies and comes with a silkscreen on the sleeves. You have been warned.
This morning I got this Revelation Records e-mail, thought the Shai Hulud content in here was hilarious, but it took me back to H20 a band I seem to have forgotten for way too long, the message is good and I'm into it. Better than any Gorilla Biscuits reunion.
RevHQ.com News - June 6, 2008
Last week we thanked Shai Hulud's guitarist Matt Fox for the show of Revelation Records support by wearing two different Burn shirts in two different magazines. Now we have to be fair and thank Shai Hulud bass player Matt Fletcher for continuing the support by sporting his Gorilla Biscuits long sleeve in the most recent Alternative Press (#240). (Thanks Matt.) In the same issue you can check out the article about Youth Of Today as one of the 23 bands that shaped punk as we know it today. In the article, Anthony Hurley of Fall Out Boy credits Revelation Records as the first hardcore label he ever got into.
Finally, we'd like to thank H2O for flashing a copy of Gorilla Biscuits' "Start Today" in their video "What Happened?" off their latest release "Nothing To Prove," which was filmed in NYC Generation Records. Check out the video here.
In new release news, this week we welcome represses of the Side By Side "You're Only Young Once" and NOFX "Maximumrocknroll" LPs, a new LP from powerviolence mongers Extortion, a slick Government Issue DVD, a CD reissue from Man Is The Bastard, plus plenty more.
