hello all! right now we're on tour in the UK and we´re having a really good time basically. we're keeping a diary again. check it out on our 3 voor 12 weblog, there´s also some pictures to be found there. that´s it for now, hope to see you at one of our upcoming shows?

this update brings good news! first: news about the tour through germany, the united kingdom and germany. the tour is looking better and better. we're still looking for 4 shows so help is welcome, as usual. please drop by and say hello if you're from the area we'll be touring. we'll bring new songs to play, new merchandise, the snowstar records distro and the typewriter book distro. for this upcoming tour we’ll be doing another tour report (in english) on the dutch music portal 3voor12 .

next to the tour dates some more dutch dates have been announced. we'll be playing with frightening fiction, bob's new band! and also new touring plans for march. check it under shows. it feels good to go out on the road again after 2 months of working on the release full time.speaking of which; finally, after waiting forever and ever and ever we can announce our new album "tesimony" to be released on march 3, 2008. exactly three years after the release of our last full length "silencing civilization". the new album will be released by fond of life records (uk, ger, lux.), infected records (por.), no reason records (ita.), rise or rust records (a.), shield recordings (nl, bel.) and youth way records (fr.). we're very happy to have the full support of these 6 cool and hard working labels. from february 2 you can get your pre-orders from a label near you. this release makes us “label mates” with great bands like enemy alliance, rentokill, this is a standoff, the indecision alarm, the real danger, the twisted minds, astpai, straightaway and much more awesome bands. we can't tell you how much we have been and are still looking forward to this release. some more details: the album is recorded in august 2007, in die tonmeisterei studio in oldenburg, germany. nico van montfort (a.o. face tomorrow, malkovich, instil) did an amazing job on the recording/mixing/mastering of the album. the album costs 10 euro (shipping excluded) and will come in a beautiful digipack designed by gemma pauwels. next to a digipack version shield recordings will also release a vinyl version on 12” and the album will be available in several download stores through fond of life records.

last thing; when we were in the states we made a tour report that got a lot of positive reactions. when we were on the second part of the transatlantic tour in europe we also shot some footage, not as much as in the u.s.a. though, obviously we had some problems with other “stuff”. check out what “stuff” on the video report from the european part of the transatlantic tour report on youtube and on this website. look under “photos” for a lot of photos and a written tour report in english. on our youtube site you can still find the video reports we made during our u.s.a. tour. feel free to become our “video friend”. a studio video report we shot during the recordings of our new album will follow soon.

thanks to all the friendly people that came out to the amazing enemy alliance show in amsterdam. nice to play there again and see so many familiar faces. we hope you enjoyed it as much.

about the release: people keep asking us about it, and it feels terrible we still can't confirm anything. but it wouldn't be wise to do so until all parties are 100% confirmed and everything is arranged. as we say in dutchland "we are putting the dots on the 'i'" and things are looking damn fine so far. more news within 2 weeks for sure.

to kill the time please read the tour report yvo wrote during the last euro tour we did with static radio. it's online in english here finally.

we are also still working on our u.k.-germany tour in january. please have a look at the dates and let us know if you can help us out on the still available dates. it would mean a lot to us. looking forward to that one, even though it will be cold! in the mean time we also added some more german dates in february.

well, that's it for now, hope to see you soon, perhaps at one of our shows we are doing in holland before the release? 

next saturday, november 17, we'll be playing in almighty veenendaal, in the escape. together with local heroes, de tarrels, dislocated and some band called brat pack. come check it out.
