Upcoming Releases, Performances, and General Information.

Our first LP, "The Art Of Work In The Age Of Digital Reproduction" is currently at the record pressing plant as we speak. We should hopefully have them within a a month or so. Much thanks to Dirt Cult Records from Las Cruces, NM and Social Collapse! Records for helping put this record out.

The 4-way 12" split on Chicago's Southkore Records with Population, Cemetery, and Staring Problem is currently being mastered. It should be available by the end of summer.

In disappointing news, we have scrapped the split 12" between us and Staring Problem. In uplifting news it looks very much like we will instead be doing a split 12" with New Flesh, from Oakland, CA for Cut The Cord That... Records from Kiel, Germany. Plans are also being made for a European tour next year.

We are currently in the process of booking a July tour of the Midwest. More details on that as the dates and towns get confirmed.

We would also like to announce the addition of filmmaker Husni Akishu who will begin making and projecting films for our live performances beginning on July 1st. His work is nothing short of interesting and capivating to watch.

There are also a few changes in our upcoming shows...
