Update/Weekend Tour/10"!

Sorry for the radio silence.  We've been writing a ton and have been working in secret on plenty of stuff.  Some of it is as follows:

We're playing a show in McHenry County on Feb 17th with Boxsledder. The Nesmins, and more.  Details shortly.

We're doing a weekend of shows in March.
March 6th - Kalamazoo, MI
March 7th - Cincinnati, OH
March 8th - Champaign-Urbana, IL

The weekend will be just in time for the release of our new one-sided, five song 10" on 86'd Records/Crapoulet Records/Waterslide Records.  We are so excited for this record to be out.

Additionally, test presses were approved for a 7" compilation entitled B Sides featuring us, Brokedowns, Brickfight, and Boxsledder which is going to be out on Rad Girlfriend Records in hopefully not too long.

There's more on the horizon.  Thanks for the continued support.

Kids Shirt Reprint

Thanks a lot to the Milwaukee and Iowa City/Cedar Falls crews for an excellent couple of shows.  We did a small reprint of the kids shirt design for the weekend and have a small handful left.  Check them out here:

Upcoming Gigs

Thanks a lot to everyone involved in the Extreme Noise Anniversary Weekend: Round II.  It was one of the most, if not the absolute most, fun and well organized punk fest I've ever attended.  We were all stoked to play and be there in general.
