Hello All!

We've been holding this news inside of us too long, and we're ready to burst at the seams! Without further ado I liked to announce that we've signed with Something In Construction to release Everyone All At Once in the U.K.! We'll be heading over there for some shows in October to celebrate the release. If you're in the across the pond we'd love to see you!

Now, I'll shut up and let David from SIC talk about us a little...

THE REST

Something In Construction is very proud to announce a new signing. 

What now?
From Ontario, Canada, called THE REST, they walk an Bunnymen/Arcadefire sort of line and are aiming very much for the Big Music.
And as a seven piece with a huge array of instruments on stage they stir up such a blistering sandstorm in that pursuit, that it is impossible not to be caught up and join in. 
They are one of those bands that convert audiences wholesale and leave all jaws dropped.

Innovation!
They finance the band through the noble art of making and selling BEER at their own self promoted shows at home and they raised enough cash to make their album Everyone All At Once, which is coming out on SIC on Oct 5th. 
It is initially available digitally and via the Rough Trade shops.  SIC and Rough Trade have decided on a unique pricing structure for the album. 
The first 50 copies will be 99p.  The next 50 will be £1.99.  The next 50 £2.99. etc

A Visit!
Debut UK dates here in October
October 12th London  ILL FT @ Old Blue Last with Sebastien Schuller and special guests and ILL FIT DJs

Quality Online Action!
Debut shows this summer in NYC caught the attention of the french gents from Blogotheque, who have just filmed one of their legendary Takeaway shows with the band at Coney Island.

Congratz! Excellent news :)

I was disappointed ya'll were not up for the Polaris this year. Everyone All At Once is still one of the top 3 releases for me this year, perhaps my most played (the debut still gets nearly as many spins). Definitely seemed a big hole on the long and short lists.

But forget that and enjoy this :) And may you have more and more continued success.
