–NEW BALACLAVA SONG POSTED! We are currently wrapping up this 7″. Realistically I see it getting done before Halloween. We are just finishing up a few final pieces, this one is gonna be sick. Up in the store now, comes with double sided jacket, poster, black dust sleeves, and a dl card. This shit is grim. Winter east coast tour with KINGSHEAD. Hook it / Check it!

–NEW INTER ARMA SONG POSTED! A new song off INTER ARMA’s debut full length “sundown” is up now on their myspace. Check that shit out. Expect the album to be out by year’s end. Winter southeast tour to Florida and back. Hook it / Check it.

–THIS BLACK BOX “reconstruction” cassette tape, stoked to do a tape for a bunch of great dudes playing some sweet catchy melodic hardcore punk. Should have these in by their release show this weekend (October 25th) in Richmond w/ Static Radio NJ. I believe they have the whole EP up on their myspace. Winter tour to Texas and back January 3rd to the 16th. Hook it / Check it!

–THE WAYWARD 7″, not sure I ever announced it because final details were still being worked out but we are moving forward on this and I’m extremely stoked. I have known these guys for such a long time, shit probably around the time I truly began getting involved in the “punk scene”. I’ve loved everything the dudes have ever done as a band and more so as friends and human beings. I am going to do my best to expedite this one and have it out asap but still do it the justice it deserves. They have recorded and have art in the finishing stage.

–JUICE TYME! final tour!!!! Fucking bummed to announce JUICE TYME! will be parting ways but not before one more tour going down to Florida and then out to Chicago and back January 1st to the 10th. Don’t miss this shit, YOU WILL REGRET IT!

–CITY OF SHIPS is playing Gainesville Fest then heading west hitting all of the west coast and southwest Nov 3rd to the 23. For 2010 they will be doing a few east coast dates with Rosetta and Battlefields January 15th to the 24th (emulate_booking@hotmail.com) followed by a trip back over the pond to Europe March 29th to April 19th (mike.persilbooking@gmail.com). They got a new full length record out via Sound Study / Translation Loss, peep both them on the road and the record, I put money on neither disappointing.

–BATTLEMASTER is touring to Texas and back January 9th to the 23rd with LOCUSTA. Hook it / Check it! New 7″ split out soon via Mirror Universe with fellow RVA shred heads INTER ARMA.

-NEW FORCEFIELD RELEASE SCHEDULE!
so after the INTER ARMA and the WAYWARD records we will be slowing things down for some much needed R and R. I am hoping to do some traveling and reflecting and come back with a clear head, ready to destroy minds next summer. What we got lined up has me SUPER excited, here it is!

COUGH / WOUNDED KINGS – split 12″
VINCENT BLACK SHADOW – new full length CD/LP
SOURVEIN / COFFINS – split 7″
1 project TBA
