The Great Leap Forward

Brothers and Sisters:

Failures have returned. After months of members being overseas/busy with other projects, we are once again going to be pounding the pavement, playing a few shows with Confines and Vaccine over the coming weeks. (Details below.) We have also finished writing our second lp, and are now in the early stages of recording the album. Come out and say hello; we'd be more than happy to give you an update in person. As always, thanks for listening.

Back home blues

Many thanks to all who helped make our tour with Salvation and Aerosols a great success. We owe much to those who helped set up the shows, came out to see us, or let 14 strangers sleep on your floor.

Tour was cut short when, as a result of one of his signature kick drum jumps, Will broke his ankle, requiring surgery and an 18 hour odyssey back to Massachusetts.

We hope to continue our struggle against the mundane in spite of this most recent development. Tentatively, we have shows in the works for as early as next month. Updates will be posted; but in the meantime, we have for your exploitation a new shirt design printed for this tour as well as the remaining copies of our 7" on Painkiller Records.

Will repost after tour.

Will repost after tour.

Feeling miserable is very motivating...

Many thanks to Robert Noack of dyinghorse.com for filming.
