A massive thanks to all the labels for their help & support, check out each at their respective link at the bottom. It's so cool to be apart of labels from all these places, especially to have been asked to be part of commitment, as it has been going for nearly 20 years doing so much for hardcore, releasing some of the best bands . The release show is May 17th, all labels will have their tapes for sale the following day. New songs from the tape will be uploaded to our bandcamp in April. A final thank you to Icebreaker Records who will be duplicating the tapes for us.

Yo! I thought it might be an idea to set up a blog, so we can post more stories / information and stuff without being so in your face as facebook can be. So from here you can expect to read regular updates with what we're, writes ups on shows / practice / tour, funny stories, photo's, anything band related.

In a 2/3 weeks we will be recording the new tape. It will consist of 6 songs lasting around 5-7 minutes. Above is the cover artwork done by Conor Dornan who also did the UYC Fest flyer, if you need someone to go to for some fast reliable work, he is the man.         
          As recording for Anger & Abstinence will be happening mid / end of May the songs will be ready way in advance of the release show, so new songs will start being put online from April ready for everyone to hear.
          If you've not seen the release is being put out in the UK by Rage! Hardcore & Commitment Records, in Asia by Commitment Records, and in Europe by Open Up Records. There is also hoping on a release for South America in the works. Massive thanks to Mike, Stef and the others involved for the interest & help.
          The release show will be happening in Southampton on May 17th w/ Abolition, Survival, Repentance & Hardout. This is possibly also the first Straight Edge show in Southampton which is cool. If you're around come along as we've managed to fill the rest of the line up with some awesome bands - http://www.facebook.com/events/158262234330462/?fref=ts

Apart from working hard to get the recordings ready we have recently been picking up some shows, and organised a tour in the summer to get the new songs around. Above you can see the highly respected paint skill of the one & only Owen Harrold. Below is a list of all the shows we have coming up atm. None of us drive so shows require us to use our own money to get coaches / trains / hire a van for tour, so if you like what we do it would be massively appreciated and help us to no end if you could pick up a shirt from the store. 

Hopefully see you at a show soon.

Jonny.
