That's right! we're back from the Fest and we loved it! 3 days of amazing bands, amazing weather, amazing people all over the place. Need i say more? Ok: spontaneous backyard shows, warehouse shows, great veggiefood.. Fest 7 was one hell of an experience. I'd like to say a quick "thank you" to all the friends we met and especially the No Idea crew for making this whole thing happen. Thanks!

 In other news: we have the second part of our tourvideo online. Check out part 2 . I'm sorry if the sound is a little out of sync. My macbook is severely suffering from tour-fatigue i guess.. 

Oh, and we have some pictures from my phone in the photos section. More quality pictures will be added as tour is slowly grinding towards its end.

Hope to see some of at the upcoming shows in Baltimore / New York / New Brunswick

It seems like there is not much going on, but behind the screens we are preparing a lot of stuff. New tours and releases are being prepared as we speak. New dates are appearing on our website for the tour we will be doing together with Jena Berlin from Pennsylvania (USA) in September. Check out their music and message, great band in the style of Hot Water Music, Boy Sets Fire and Smal Brown Bike, really happy to be touring with them. If you want to help us out with a date just email us.

On the trip we made last week we had a lot of fun. Thanks to all people helping out with the nice festivals in Italy, and the nice show with Death by Stereo in Zurich (Swi). If you have pictures, videos or whatever let us know, we'd be delighted. Thanks to everyone for coming out and hopefully enjoying our music. It was actually our first experience with Pieter on bass and it turns out great! So we're very happy with that.

Thirdly we'd like to announce that our debut album "Silencing Civilization" is almost sold out. We have some digipacks left and after those this pressing is gone. Fortunately the amazing people at Shield Recordings offered us to re-release the album. And this time the album will appear as a jewel case CD-version and on vinyl! So that's extremely cool in our opinion. For this re-release the album will be remastered by our own Nico van Montfort for both CD and LP. Hopefully it will be out by our tour in September, but we can't promise anything since vinyl pressing plants can be slow … We will keep you up to date!

For those interested in live videos we have some new clips marked as favorites on our Youtube account. Among them a live video of our show in the Melkweg with Anti-Flag. Check them out and let us know if you have any videos that are not up there.

And last but not least. People in Japan can now order a copy of Testimony from Disk Union. Check this link for a direct order (At least, that's what I think it is. My Japanese could use some improvement).

That's it! See you all in Belgium! Propa-fucking-gandhi! If they sue us for plagiarism, I'm gonna sue them for stealing my sleep!
