Hello everyone,
Hopefully everyone is having a nice summer. We have some news for you:
We are excited to announce that will be releasing a limited two-song 7″ by Navies in the fall. The two songs are their best to date and the most representative of their explosive live shows. The band has been on a bit of a hiatus, as they all have been busy. Sean is in Pissed Jeans, which recently released a 7″ on Sub Pop, Mike has been playing and touring with A Day In Black And White, and Ed just finished his first year of law school. They are doing things here and there, though: they have a few shows lined up for the end of summer and are hopefully going to be playing some more in the fall and winter.
Pinebender‘s new full length entitled Working Nine To Wolf recently was mastered at Golden Mastering. Their new epic masterpiece comprises 8 songs and is over 60 mins. long. The record will hopefully be released this fall, and the band will be doing some touring behind it as they can. We are really excited about this release and think that you will be, too, once you hear it. We should have an mp3 up soon from the record and a song in our flash radio so check the website for that in the near future.
Haram start a five-week European tour at the end of July. Just in time for the tour, Adagio 830 Records in Germany has released a European version of their self-titled LP. People in Europe interested in picking it up can order from them or get it from the band at one of their shows. They are also working on new material with Jeff Kane (City of Caterpillar), who joined the band after the last record was recorded and hope to record material with him later this year.
