The end of the year is always stupid busy. Best part though, is that we are getting a whole lot of work done! Since we haven't been playing any shows recently, we've been preparing 3 seperate releases slated for 2014 (I am a million times geeked for each one).
First, I would love to say that our upcoming full length Susan B and Elizabeth C (which will be released via Whoa! Boat Records) is first on the list, but it is not. I know that we've been talking about it forever. This is my fault (Andy Beer's). I'm way too excited to not talk about it, but let's set the record straight here:
We were set to put out a 7" single with the guys at Whoa! Boat in the middle of 2013, and they offered to bump us up to a full length. We were thrilled. At the same time, we were offered to be a part of the first volume of Whoa! Boat's I-5 Corridor split. The priority was set and we took the time and effort to release the split. It was tons of fun, and feature's some of our very best friends in the scene. Additionally, everyone who came out and helped us celebrate this release on November 8th, you will have my gratitude for ever. If you haven't, you should absolutely check it out here on bandcamp. Or, you can go to Whoa!boat Records website to order the vinyl (tis' the season for giving, capitalists!).
Anyway, back to the full length. Susan B and Elizabeth C is on the way. It has been mixed (by the great Alex Ferrin and the wonderful Brendan Silk), it is being mastered, and the whole record pressing process has begun. It is officially out of our hands. We're looking forward to releasing it as soon as we can, you'll be the first to know!
To hold you over til then, we are super excited to be working with Haze Tapes to release our original 5 song demo on cassette. This collection, which was previously referred to as Demo 2011, is now going to be its own release called Madge. This tape has some crowd favorites like the original clean-ish version of The Horses Got Out, as well as now rare-to-be-heard tracks like Come Clean and The Honest Ones. That's going to be available in January.
Last but not least, we are even MORE excited to be supporting Robby Cleary's new label N7E (next 7 exits). I should say that he is actually supporting us. Robby is making a statement that we're proud to be a part of in uniting all of Bellingham's best punk and metal bands under one roof; and getting them to record some choice cuts of bleeding-drunk, fist-pumping, skull-bashing good tunes. Bravo Robby, we'll have your back forever. Our contribution to this compilation will be one of two unreleased songs. Robby gets to pick, we'll see where he goes on it. 98 percent of the songs on this comp have been recorded by Michael Cloud, who is a bad ass in his own right. The comp is expected to be finished early to mid 2014.
Currently, we have been featured on another rad compliation. This one is a rad project to get a friend back on her feet called Songs For Sarah. Click to hear it, but any money received from that comp goes straight to Sarah. The comp was created by Sarah's brother, Benjamin King. That dude's one of a kind. Our contribution is an old song off of Victoria, "Nothing's Sacred (the weight of guilt)."
Until then,
Be nice, party hard!
Andy
