Our first album, "Allergic to Heat", will be released early September on vinyl by Woodsist out of Brooklyn, NY. The CD will follow sometime after on Providence, RI's Corleone. Artwork by Steak Mtn. Eight songs on the LP, nine on the CD (I think?).
The tour cassette on Fuck It Tapes is almost gone I heard. Get one!
"Rat Magic" is almost sold out. No repress.
Up next will be the Monkey Mania cassette, threeway split 7" with Knit Witch and Soft Shoulder and a big ol' split 12" with our partners in grime, Shearing Pinx from Vancouver, BC.
More juicy tidbits of gossip soon. There is plenty a-brewin'.
