Hello everyone,
Hopefully everyone is having a nice fall so far. We have some news for you:
The new two-song 7" by Navies and new full-length by Pinebender, entitled Working Nine To Wolf, are now available for order on the web site! We are excited about both of these releases and think that you will enjoy them.
The two Navies songs on their new 7″ are their best to date and the most representative of their explosive live shows. It’s a straight-forward snapshot of Navies right now; Navies gets in, out, and done, leaving patches of scorched earth in the process. The 7" is pressed on clear vinyl and is currently limited to 500 copies. They are hopefully going to be playing some shows in the late fall / early winter.
Pinebender‘s Working Nine To Wolf is an epic masterpiece comprising 8 songs and is over 60 mins. long. Guitars loom throughout the tracks from the semi-psychedelic to the furious, and amplifier worship is clearly on display. Working Nine To Wolf finds Pinebender at its most aggressive, yet the band adheres to the modus operandi that has made them special — playing long melodic compositions very slowly and very loudly. The band is currently booking shows for the winter. Make sure not to miss them if they come through your town.
The Ben Davis / des_ark twelve-song split (five each and two together) entitled Battle Of The Beards is done and mastered. It was a really long process but we think you will feel it was well worth the wait when it comes out. It will be released in early 2007. but we hope to be able to sell it via our web site before the end of the year. Looks like we will have a limited run of 12″s for this releases as well.
In other des_ark news, they just hit the road for a month-long tour. Their tour dates can be found on our web site. We also now have copies of the des_ark live radio demos in our web store.
We are happy to let you know that we will be releasing a CD in early 2007 by Glös. Glös started as Keeley Davis (Engine Down, Denali) and Cornbread Compton (Engine Down). After collaborating on over 20 songs and having never physically played the songs together in a rehearsal environment, the duo decided to take even more advantage of the freedom that this style of writing offered. They invited Keeley’s sister Maura Davis ( Denali) to join the project and add her beautiful, sultry vocals to the songs that already seemed perfect for her. If it weren’t for the internet, none of the songs would have grown into the theatrical landscapes that they have become, since each member was working on different projects full-time in Texas, California, Virginia, North Carolina, and Illinois. After two years of writing and refining, Glös has its first album entitled Harmonium. We have posted a Glös song in the radio player on the web site and you can also listen to more on their myspace page (www.myspace.com/glos).
The Grey just got back from their European tour. They are working on some new material and will be touring Canada throughout the winter and hope to make it to Japan and back to Europe next year.
Haram are 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 in the near future. They are playing some shows in the fall and winter around the East Coast. We recently got in some Haram shirts that we added to the web store. We do not have many of them so if you are interested, you should pick one up soon.
Fin Fang Foom‘s new EP entitled Native Tongue was recently released on Stiffslack in Japan. We will have copies of the EP available in our web store in the near future. The band will be touring Japan soon with Balloons (who are on Stiffslack Records) to support the release.
Fin Fang Foom and Engine Down both have live songs on the Fest 3 DVD released by No Idea Records. The DVD also has performances by Against Me!, Hot Water Music, and Planes Mistaken For Stars, among others. The DVD is available in our web store for purchase.
The Cassettes have a new CD out entitled ‘Neath The Pale Moon on Buddyhead Records out of CA. They will be touring the US a lot behind the release.
