Hi. It seems like the only people who like us are record store clerks and heads of labels. Thankfully, one of those two will give us money to put out another album. We will be releasing our next full-length on
Deathwish Inc Before that, we'll be putting an EP out with them. This is our label home now. We're really pumped on that. The only compliment worth anything is "he's his own man" and we feel like Tre and Jake are their own dudes. They do what they want and we do what we want, so it's gonna fit well.
Something that really appealed to us about Deathwish was that they aren't looking to tax dudes for being productive. We won't be doing full-lengths with anyone else, but we've got a number of 7" that we were offered by cool people and we aim to get those done. Most of them have been recorded by now.
Look for:
A split with
Adorno, from Portugal. That will be on
Existencia and available in time for our European tour.
A split with
Scream Hello , from New Brunswick. That will be on
Red Leader Records , a label that has supported us for a long time.
A split with
Red Tape Parade , from Germany. That will be on
Cobra Records and available during our European tour.
A split with
Suzy Wong & the Honkeys, from Upstate NY. That will be on
Barrett Records .
A split with
Shook Ones, from Seattle. That will be on
Runner Up Records .
And a little further down the line, expect a split with
Segwei , from Japan. That will be on
Alliance Trax .
A 7" on
Hex that we think will be our homage to Talking Heads. Possible album title MORE SONGS ABOUT TRAINS AND CHOKING.

I'm a little pressed for time right now so I hope I'm not forgetting anything we've got lined up. I'll put it up later if that's the case. We appreciate anyone who is into us. Anyone who isn't, well, shit is a free country, man.
