Recording and the record that's coming out..

So we spent approximately 4 days with Joe Mitra at the makeshift wired wrist studios(new location tba!) Joe is simply fucking AMAZING to work with, we have only worked with about 2-3 engineers in our day and i use that word loosely because some were just dudes pressing the record button and the rest was all self recorded which can be kind of tough. Joe Mitra was as excited as we were about what was coming out of the speakers which in return made us very very stoked. We recorded 5 songs for our debut self titled E.P. i've concluded that this IS our debut 7" and that we have put out plenty of demo's and while they haven't flopped, they were all self released with zero distribution so if you weren't a pal of the band you probably have never even heard it. (unless you bought a copy on tour, i believe we sold 90 out of 100 on a month long summer gig tour).

ALARMED - alarmed
dead truth recordings 08

a side
1. the moon life
2. chill pill
3. huge leaps

b side
1. mouthbreathers
2. brainwarshed

this should be due out the first of the summer if not earlier... album art work will be done by yours truly, don't expect anything crazy, just a very good looking modest first contribution to record collectors everywhere. you will also be able to acquire this digitally. i'll post a few pictures soon.

'08 TOUR Re-CAP (part 4)

so before all of this slips away, i really need to finish. if i don't finish i will be pist. We were supposed to be recording the remanider of this week, however the engineer's MAC power supply blew up. We are reschedualing as soon as humanly possible. Now for the rest of the shows, BREIFLY AND LESS OPINIONATED.

January 13th - Southgate, MI @ The Modern Exchange

On this day we sat around and watched NCAA basketbal in Findlay, OH with some friends. It was raining and weird outside. Showed up to the gig after getting lost for only a few minutes and the place is rather chill. First band is already playing, this band is All Hype from Detroit, Michigan. Detroit has a lot of suburbs that prefer you call them by the name, for what i guess is to not feel shame and say they live in Detroit city. I know that we played next and it was raining so we were figuring up load in. The place had a bay to back into and they closed garage like door and we were inside a building unloading. Shout out to Plague Years for the PBR. We played and i fell alot, i mean a lot- more than i've fallen probably on a month+ long tour. At least 3 times within a few minutes. I don't really know why. From what i heard i looked like a total idiot on stage, whatever i was "feelin' it", suck me. Kids went off and had about as much fun as i did, not a lot of bands seem to look like they're feelin that way when they play these days(blah blah blah)Plague Years played, i liked it. Show over, went out to eat, i stayed and did vocal practicies in the van for about 30 minutes(no homo?) my throat felt shitty and i dont like not being able to talk after shows because i am down for conversation. Got a hotel room, crashed out.

January 15 - Normal, Il @ Das Fun Haus

3 band gig, with Waster and Surroundings. good to see Gavin, Josh and Joe from back home and hearing about stories from out west. Shout out to tim and joey for the amazing hospitality and to the dude who made coffee in the morning. The kids were real good here and from what i heard from a few people usually the place has twice as money people but i don't know how that was a small space. We played decent kids were nice, i know were a little harder to stomach than the norm. Surroundings played after us and gavin had fucked up his leg and actually went to a hospital in CA i believe to get treated. Needless to say he was still doin the damn thang. We slept at the house and bailed the next morning.

January 16 - Milwaukee, WI @ The Borg Ward

CANCELED! can't have shows in below zero weather with no heater

January 17 - Minneapolis, MN @ The N.E.L.C

This show was awesome, shout out to COWARDS and LUMBERJACK. We should enough shirts to make us happy this night. We were able to eat applebees.


- - after this we hopped on the counting the days/hollywood weekend due to our shows going under. Hollywood dropped we took their place. We played Chicago, Detroit & Columbus. All the show's were great and turned out very nicely, although playing The Trap House without a heater was devestating, Triceratops dudes holla!
