Fall 2013

I feel like making this post might be a bit out of line as is was so long since the last. Still, the photo fun page is expired (for the time being..) and I'm looking to bring back the blog in full effect. Here goes.

It's been a year and it's going to be boring to go into any sort of detail as to what has happened since. Here is a quick bullet list to get everyone up to date: 

-we recorded an ep with our mans Brandon Bost. It came out dope and we are still happy with it I think...

-we went out for the midwest this past winter with sam rudich of ranch records on the hardcore gig circuit and slayed. caught some ill footage and met a lot of great people. they fed us like kings and queens and we trudged through the winter conditions. Also traveled to a bunch of new places that none of us have ever been to. 

-we played richmond for the second time at stay sweet fest III this past april and loved it. Also I got to meet Airick Egan in real life for the first time after being internet friends for 2/3 years. Needless to say he was fucking great. Cleveland crew/all about zach records crew is the shit and can burn in hell with us for as long as they wish.

-in between that and now we played a bunch of shows with great bands who came through Philadelphia. check the past shows tab for the full list

-we went out for a weekend with Backslider - played for a bunch of squares, cashed out, sold out, played peter frampton on the jukebox, and blew a flat on the border of yonkers and ardsley. john's parents came through in the clutch

Here's what is up right now:

-We are writing a bunch of new stuff

-There is a small thing coming out v soon to hold it over

-We are trying to come to some new lands this winter

-Weekend Nachos show is November 13th

-We might do the Blink set again next week.

-Ranch Records on Top - forever and always

Godspeed//Give me back my bullets,

It's important to read this page because this is where it gets intimate. Blogging is not just posting updates and quick links for the people who rush through their lives, fighting for the fame and hype and playing tetris on the side. This is where it gets real and I'll talk to you - the readers - like normal fucking people. Wise up to the hypebot and hypebeasts - shit can get lost.

Here goes:
Back in the middle of May we played our first show with Kerri at Cloud City with Cleansing Wave. Their tour just finished up and you're best to pick up the 7" out on PRGNT RECORDS (+ Sea of Shit, SKVLT, Daisy Cutter, Sick/Tired)

It felt like a new era..

The show last week at the church with Vaccine/Agents of Abhorrence was hella cool. It was tight knit and the rug was on the floor in front of the stage. I'll see if I can conjure up some pics/video and post them here later. Big ups to Heavy Medical + Bubonic Bear for a ripping set and thanks to everyone who came out.

Update City:
We're heading to the studio in a few weeks - June 18/19 to record with Brandon Bost of Wild Rompit. The last time we recorded was the first demo, so this should blow everything out of the barnyard. EP to be released this Fall - hold tight.
Also check up on Ranch Records for updates all around - http://ranchjams.blogspot.com

The Munchausen 7" release show with Twerps and State Violence is Sunday (6/17) @ Cloud City - you know the deal here. A Will McAndrew Production ©

Update - Spring Edition:

We're working on a bunch of new material right now. All kinds of new things happening soon and a bunch of things we can't talk about yet. Keep them ears perked - little dog style (shout out to BH)

A sneak peek:
This is John, he's playing bass with us now. He's big on coffee and being reasonable so he fits right in. Here's a pic of him getting tough in the D.E.W.A.I. HQ Studio.

Kerri is singing with us now. If you listen to WKDU you know her as the one who makes a fool out of me on Dysnoise. She's big on knitting and scoops ice cream now for Little Baby's Ice Cream:

Smash it Dead 2012
