Hey all..we are heading into Studio G in Brooklyn, NY later this week to record our new album, "The Failed Convict" with Joel Hamilton for The End Records. We hope to post updates and photos during our time in NY here on Myspace. Keep checking for updates. For those who don't know, this new album is our first "proper" album in almost 5 years, it consists of 13 brand new songs and will be released in the Summer of 2009. The album will feature a few very special guests and the artwork will be hand crafted by Aaron Horkey. We are very excited for you all to hear the new material, Im sure at least one song will be posted in the next month or so.. Cheers!

Cable
Last Call
(Translation Loss)
By Chris Gramlich
February 23, 2007

For over a decade, Willington, Connecticut death machine Cable made music unconcerned by trends, stable line-ups, success, or appealing to anyone but themselves. And they paid the price for adhering to ideals most pay only lip service to. Despite hammering out music that would foreshadow/influence bands such as Isis and Botch, impacting the mid- to late '90s aggressive underground, Cable are seldom mentioned as more than a foot note, if at all, but Last Call is an attempt to set the record straight. Collecting tracks that span their strange trip, from abrasive, unorthodox, slashing hardcore to boundary challenging noisecore to Southern rock-influenced metallic behemoth, Last Call gives a good sampling of Cable's cannon while including a well-recorded, tight live set from their last show at CBGB in 2004 and an affecting new song, "Last Call," that effortlessly channels the despair, anguish and hope of Cable's best work. Also included on the accompanying DVD is the video of that last CBGB show, as well as an excellent, in-depth, revealing hour-long film on Cable's history and trials and tribulations, again simply entitled Last Call. Raise your glasses for one last toast.

Was it bittersweet to record "Last Call"? Drummer Victor Szalaj: I don't think it was at the time but maybe in retrospect. I think the biggest bummer was that it was the best collection of people we ever had; I wish we had that line-up for an entire album, but the time had come.

What's your opinion on the Cable documentary? I think Ed Ballinger did a great job. He had a story to tell and I think he told it well. We have a great wealth of history that is impossible to divulge in a 60-minute movie. Ed took aspects of our career and drew a story from it, it would be a massive undertaking to have everyone in the band put in their two cents, which is why Randy and I are absent from the film; it was Ed's vision and I appreciate it.

To paraphrase a line from the doc, "Cable was a band that existed because they needed to get something out, and maybe they don't anymore, which is why they stopped." Agree? I'd say Christian [McKenna, Translation Loss] was right on. Cable were born out of a need to drain our emotions and thoughts, when you run out of things to say, its time to say goodnight.

From www.lambgoat.com

Cable's impact on the extreme music world has been both undeniable and unique. As key players in the origin of the 90's noisecore sound, Cable is often cited as a major influence on many modern hardcore and metal bands. Yet, unlike many of their contemporaries, Cable never really achieved a significant amount of commercial success or notoriety. So when Cable called it quits in 2005 after eleven or so years in the game, they left a hell of a discography for both old fans to remember, and new fans to discover. Last Call is the band's recent CD/DVD release from Translation Loss, and serves as a comprehensive unreleased/greatest hits/live album. While I rarely get excited about this type of album, the fact that Cable's musical career actually justifies an album of this nature had me looking forward to this release.

Last Call is about fifty percent live tracks, with the remainder of the disc being comprised of songs spanning their seven main releases. Those familiar with the band will enjoy the great musical progression shown on this disc, as Cable's development from noisecore into southern-metal influenced hard rock is quite evident. The DVD is also incredibly entertaining as it takes a PBS-esque approach to summarizing the influence of Cable on the east coast underground music scene of the 90's.

The only real flaw with Last Call is that it is a bit lacking in the re-playability department. The live tracks are great, and the unreleased material (including the newly recorded title track) is a definite attraction, but in general, greatest hits albums never really manage to secure a spot in my listening rotation. I'm sure many Cable fans will love the live songs and the DVD, but after a few listens will find themselves doing exactly what this album prompted me to do: returning to old Cable albums with a new found excitement.

Bottom Line: This album probably isn't a must have for Cable fans, although I'm sure many are intrigued by the live tracks and the DVD. If you've never been exposed to Cable, Last Call might not be the best place to start off either. I'd recommend hunting down a copy of Gutter Queen for a proper introduction to the band, and then subsequently tracking down all of their other releases after you've realized what a gold mine you've stumbled upon. And although Last Call won't be your album of the year, it's a good final chapter in such an important band's career.

Cable were a great band. The fact that one needs to say that in the past tense is probably due to the fact that they were a great band for 10 freakin' years and not nearly enough people knew it. 

Hence, this excellent compilation and DVD, a perfect bookend to a slept-on career. No band is truly ahead of its time any more than you or I can predict which horses will win, place, or show, but there are bands who stumble upon ideas earlier than everyone else is ready to process them. (Or does it all have to do with promotion and if you're on a hip record label? I still don't know.) Cable was one of those, locking down—and then abandoning—proto-metalcore riffometry well before the stuff became the indie rock of the 21st century. It also didn't help that lineup gyrations were one of Cable's calling cards—they had stable periods, but the only two constants were bassist/singer Randy Larsen and drummer Vic Szalaj.

Or maybe, as the excellent little documentary on DVD suggests, the Connecticut band simply didn't give a fuck about anything but playing; to hell with the fact that Dillinger at one end and Isis at the other took aspects of Cable's sound to the bank.

The key word is "aspects." Last Call covers the band's full range, from bellowing metalcore teetering on the edge of mess on '97's Variable Speed Drive to the nasty trio urk of '99's Gutter Queen to the mutant noise-sludge of '01's Northern Failures to the Skynyrd-squee on '04's Pigs Never Fly. There are even seven songs from their final 2004 show.

Unlike DEP or Isis, Cable never let technical prowess or atmospherics get in the way of sharp riffs—hooks fucking abound. The title track, recorded this year, is a magnificent, winding blast of interlaced guitar and almost laconically laid back rhythms. They will be missed. —Joe Gross
