Tim Vantol added to “Perspectives & Objectives” release festival August 23

Next to Yvo’s and Koen’s new bands we are happy to announce another (and last) former bass player for our release festival on August 23: Tim Vantol! After releasing a new album last May, hitting every city in Europe including festivals like Groezrock, Monster Bash, Queensday Fest and supporting Frank Turner and Chuck Ragan, we are happy to have him aboard to celebrate our new album! Not with full band, but full throttle as always!

2 more bands to be announced, but make sure you get your tickets in time. And don’t forget to come early: doors open at 18.30h, first band starts at 19.00h, which leaves 30 minutes to get a delicious vegan meal at Just Like Your Mom‘s food stand!

Facebook event for the release festival.

Release update “Perspectives & Objectives” – August 23rd

On August 23rd we will release our new album “Perspectives & Objectives”. After announcing all those amazing summer shows prior to the release, we thought it is about time to inform you a bit more about this album.

Like we did with our previous album we will stream all songs before the official release date. One by one, week per week: the first song will be up on June 21st. That date we also start taking pre-orders for albums (CDs and LPs). Pre-orders will be limited packages, including nice goodies and you will receive a stream of the new album immediately after placing your pre-order. Definitely the way to get your hands on the new stuff first.

The artwork more or less speaks for itself. It is once again done by David Finke from FairTradeMerch, the picture is taken by Christian Pankratz.

The album will feature 10 songs:

1. Soundtrack
2. Welcome to Le Jungle
3. With Gaga on Our Side
4. Work Horses vs Show Ponies
5. Pink Print
6. To All Members of Parliament
7. Future History
8. Bullies
9. Mother Inferior
10. Books

Of course we are not alone in this. So far the following labels have confirmed cooperating on this release:

Suburban Records (Benelux)
Destiny Records (Germany, Austria, Switzerland)
No Reason Records (Italy)
Angry Chuck Records (Russia)
Undermusic Records (South America)
Destroy It Yourself (Portugal)
Lockjaw Records (United Kingdom)
5FeetUnder Records (Scandinavia)
Effervescence Records (France)

To celebrate our new baby we will throw a nice release festival in our hometown Nijmegen on August 23rd. It’s going to be a cool festival at Doornroosje with Just Like Your Mom providing vegan food, Typewriter Distro providing mental weapons (books that is) and Shield Recordings providing physical music. Nijmegen is only 5 km away from the German border, so there’s no reason not to cross it! Oh, and there are also bands playing:
Lawine (Yvo is our old bass player, this is his new band)
Dead Giveaway (Koen filled in on bass for us in 2011. This is his new band with Riekus on drums)
– 3 more TBA (including more former bass players)

But, before all that will happen we have one of our most anticipated tours coming up in July, together with Propagandhi. And some more crazy shows getting ourselves and everybody else ready for the release:

Releaseshows in Nijmegen (NL) and Duffel (BEL) on August 23 and 24

After playing 2 great shows in our hometown Nijmegen last week, it’s about time to announce our next hometown show. And not just some show: on August 23 we will release our new album “Perspectives & Objectives” and celebrate that with a release festival at Doornroosje, in Nijmegen. We hope to make it a memorable day by organizing a festival close to home after spending the summer all over Europe. Looking forward to present our new album and celebrate it with great friends, bands and distros! The day after the release show we will present the new album to our Belgian friends at the Brackrock Ecofest in Duffel (BEL).

The first 2 announced bands in Nijmegen are Lawine and Dead Giveaway. Two fresh all star bands featuring long running scene stars known as former and current members of Antillectual, Sand Creek Massacre, Of No Avail, Laternpoll, Landverraad, Grinding Halt and probably more. Three more bands will be announced together with distros to provide you with rad music, rad literature and vegan food.

To our German (or other international) friends we would like to stress that Nijmegen is only 5 km across the German border, close to the Ruhrpott area. You will be able to get tickets in advance so there really is no reason not to drop by on this great day.
