Quicky.

Quick update time.
If I had to put a numerical representation on the EP art’s progress, I’d say we’re like….70% done? Sure. Why not. That’s a visually pleasing number i suppose. I’ve been slow with it the last few days, but think I can get back into it and get things finished up next week. I’d be shocked if this thing is not out before mid-June, and it’s about damn time. Once we get it off to the presses, we’ll work on getting some digital distribution for this so you can buy it on Itunes and other such services. I’ll have to get an online merch store together finally, too….being that we’re a couple of years over-due.
As far as the art goes, maybe look for a preview up here next week? I won’t promise it, but I don’t see why not. If you like the whole Russian propaganda look and kangaroo’s annihilating koala’s, it should be right up your alley. So far, the actual disc design is totally finished and is much more colorful and eye-catching than our (when we were Prevail) last EP…at that time we were limited to a one color print. This time, that should not be an issue. If the new CD was laying in a pile of other CDs in your car or something, you’d be like “OOO, I WANNA PLAY THAT ONE!” and it would respond “HELL YEAH, YOU DO!” and all your other CD’s would melt in it’s presence.
What am i talking about?
Stay tuned.
Same bat time.
Same bat channel.
…and by “bat”, i mean koala.

Updates: CD progress, FREE comp, new material, etc.

So, as you may have guessed from the previous post and the name change, things are going on. I was trying to keep that post up on the site for a little while so people could catch up with what’s going on, but now, hopefully, we should update this thing fairly regularly.

First off, the FREE downloadable compilation, “New Noise (Heavy)”, has been released via the No Sleep Records website. Click on this nifty banner and go get 17 songs from some awesome bands you have and have’nt heard of for FREE. We’ve included “Sweet Ink, Brah” on that, so go get it.

Our 5-song EP “Kolalacaust” has been recorded for some time, but we’ve taken our time putting out as we wanted to make sure we did’nt miss any oppurtunities…ultimatley, we decided it was best and safest for ourselves to put this out on an independant level. Basically, if we’re going to work with a label, we want to make sure they truly enjoy and want the best for our band and we were’nt feeling a whole lot of that. Anyways, this basically means we want to get the fully pressed CD out early in the summer, so I, Scott, am trying to iron out a plan for release as well as get all the CD artwork done in the next couple of weeks. I think I’ve finally committed to a theme and look for the art and dove into it pretty deeply last night, so hopefully I don’t hit many snags and can hammer this out. Hopefully everyone will get a kick out of it. As things get figured out, I’ll post some more info on what’s going on.
