Record plus more!

Hey everyone,
The other weekend we recorded our first EP in Ventura. Really excited about how its turning out and for everyone to hear it. It's 6 songs, including one from the demo, titled 'No Matter What.' Been talking to a few labels about getting it out on vinyl, hopefully we'll work all that out quick once we do the final mixes/master to get it out early next year. Other big plans along with this and some shows in October to look forward to. Thanks to everyone for the continued support throughout this year. Doing our best to get Ventura County back on the map!

Great show tonight with Catholic Spit, Never Meant, Constant Fear, and Strike Fast at Zoey's in Ventura!

EP... Shows.

Very excited to say that we've finally finished writing our 6-song EP and are scheduled to record it the first week of September. We've been in contact with a few labels about getting it out on vinyl, and hopefully it will be out by the end of 2013 / early 2014. Many more updates to come on this...

With summer winding down, just wanted to say that it's been a great first one for the band. Thanks for everyone who checked us out and showed support at all the shows we played this summer. We've met a lot of rad people and made great friends. There's a few shows we have lined up at the moment...

Sun. Aug. 24 w/ Ghetto Blaster & Sea Lions @ Fresh Mex, Oxnard, CA
Sun. Sept. 8 w/ Downpresser @ Rock City, Camarillo, CA

That's it for now. Look forward for things to come...

Back from tour... Updates

TOUR

We got back from tour about a 2 weeks ago with Never Meant and despite any complications, it was more than any of us could've asked for. Huge thanks to Never Meant, Danny Repel/Bridgetown DIY, Zak PSO, Clay from Closet Case, Jeremy at CYC, Ed Progress, all the bands we played with, everyone that let us crash/showed us a good time, most importantly Uncle B, and anyone else who made the trip possible. We plan on making it back everywhere along with some new places we didn't get to play this time around. Once again, thank you to everyone.

DEMO TAPE

Our demo tape is finally officially out via Chula Vista's 10:39 Records. Huge thanks to Raineir for making it happen and lending all the support. Those tapes are available through 10:39's bigcartel and at the shows, which we are steadily running out of. As for other merch like shirts we'll try to throw those up on the internet at some point.

SHOWS

Last Monday there was a very successful show at Zoey's in Ventura with Zero Progress, New Brigade, Intent, Never Meant, Strike Fast, Enough Said, and Treacherouskin. Thanks to Joel for making that one happen. Really awesome to see a bunch of kids in the area come out and support, especially on a Monday. We intend to keep that going with many more local shows like that in the future. As of right now we have one show lined up on Sunday, July 28 w/ Downpresser, Minus, Harness, Treacherouskin, and ourselves at the Carpenteria library. $8, all ages, starts at 6:30. Be there if you can.


That's it for now. Stay tuned.
