summers here, what the fuck are you gonna do? 5 YEAR ANNIVERSERY UPDATE

Approaching our 5 YEAR ANNIVERSARY that's right.. 5 years!!! 4/5 of the band is 21 right now so that takes us back to being 16 years old, and zach being about 13 years old.......knowing only people we had been friends with , not knowing a single soul within the realm of hardcore or heavy music, only bands locally like 'stars turn cold', 'roma delenda est', 'charly horse', of course good ole jean mills, the full catastrophe and the spark were the names that were familiar to us, the names of bands that we'd played along side and watched grow like we were trying to. sticking out like a sore fucking thumb at a constant pace both individually and as a band from the inception well into the duration of the band. we managed to keep our cool and never get to influenced by one particular topic, sound, genre, style, band... you get it. we ARE and will ALWAYS will be off the charts, but not above or below you, definatley right there beside you in a sense that again.. we were never run of the mill. you never knew what to expect out of us. on night we'd cover american nightmare(among a lot of other covers that none of you gave a fuck about), the next night we were groovin' our life away with the heaviest shit we'd ever written. we definatley set the bar for ourselves really high with some of the first touring we ever did. our eyes were wide the entire time and we were rolling our jaw's back up in awe at the reaction out of state we had never once received at home in Maryland. Thus... our LUST for the road became a fucking REALITY. the road began to lust for us and we have put ourselves in the position to be able to play shows out of state as OFTEN AS POSSIBLE. this was the time 2005-2006 when bands like diamonds in the rough, carol, on broken wings were what was up! we've played and attended said bands shows but we never felt like we fit the mold. our first show at ten car pile up was out there... of course after our set countless people saying "you guys were fucking awesome, why wasn't anybody moving around" well...ask your fucking self that, i'm sorry the band's got you in a fucking daze and all you can do is stand there and try to figure out what the fuck is going on, on stage and in your head. FAST FORWARD TO 2008, WE ARE STILL FUCKING HERE. we have provided the same attitude all of these years in that we do not apply ourself to one demographic. and for the kids that are in it for the soul swallowing hardcore stylee you can go fuck yourself because hardcore is apart of you, you are not apart of hardcore and you weren't around for us before so don't come around for us again. we've made a lot of friends and we couldn't be more happy to feel apart of the history in maryland, baltimore and literally all surrounding areas(YES YOU ARE ALLOWED TO DRIVE MORE THAN 30 MINUTES TO A SHOW). relationships are growing as the band see's friends joining other bands and playing out and getting heard, this was never a popularity contest and i don't really think anyone see's it that way.. there will be no ass kissing or dick riding, we were never fucking about that, the proof is in the pages of our story that we're here to stay. that we never sold ourselves short with the up and coming. we invested all we got into what we know that we firmly love. rock and fucking roll baby.


WITH THAT BEING SAID...... we have a few upcoming shows and our friend Sean Thorton , of Berkely school of music FAME(lol but seriously) will be filling in on the beaters(for your squares thats the DRUMS). and hopefully joining us in our two week treck of the south and the northeast while we stop home to play the cold world/iron age/trash talk tour. Steve is out of surgery and is currently layin sloppy style on his bed hooked up to a machine all zonked out to keep him from realllly feelin' the surgery. look for his presence in mid july as he'll be around but he has to attend physical therapy in order to keep himself tip top.

i'm doing guest vocals on a song called "FUCK JUNKIE" thats going to be on the newly recorded BISHOP record. and our record will be dropping in august so look out for a release date and a release show to be announced....

oh yeah, summer's here what the fuck are you gonna do?
