In between all the writing and rehearsing of new songs we are playing 3 more shows this year. And the last addition is going to be a nice one: playing with John Coffey and The 101’s in our beloved De Onderbroek in Nijmegen (NL) on December 18! Since we always try to make our hometown shows something special, we will play the first batch of our newly written songs, mixed with the all time favorites. All in all we have this lined up in the next months:

Since more and more people listen to music through Youtube we decided to upload all our music over there. The other albums were already available and with the addition of “Silencing Civilization” our album discography is complete. Enjoy, and don’t forget to subscribe to our channel to see new videos first!

Silencing Civilization is our debut album, our first professional recording, with the legendary Menno Bakker at the Bunt studio. Mastering was done by Alan Douches from West West Side Studios. It was initially released as a CD-digipack in 2005 by Angry Youth Records, features guest vocals by our friend Wick from Bambix and got us attention in our own country and offered us our first shows abroad. This is the album people probably refer to when saying: “I really only loved their first shit”.

When this first run sold out the friendly people at Shield Recordings did a re-release in 2008. This re-mastered version by Nico van Montfort is released as a jewelcase CD-version and VINYL! Both formats are still available at our web store. This re-mastered version is now uploaded to Youtube.

*Fun fact* We’re currently working on an album scheduled to record and release in 2015. Ten years after working on the album, we’re now working on a new song tentatively titled “Silencing Civilization”.

After a day of seeing summer turn into winter while driving through all of France we are back home. This tour was intense (6.000 KMs for 11 shows) but we are enormously happy about touring down south/west Europe. We had an amazing time and hope to return as soon as our new album is out. Huge thanks go out to all promoters and especially to Outro Shows and Infected Records DIY for booking and arranging everything. And of course to everyone that came out, sang along, danced or clapped their hands! In case anyone has pictures or videos from a show, post it!

For this tour we made new shirts: “Books over Barcelona”. It’s been a while since we had an ash-grey shirt. There are some left overs available in our web shop (S/M/L/XL).
Also, since winter is roaring its freezing head we’d like to re-emphasize that we have warm zipped hoodies available (S/M/L/XL)! And the last couple of Ten Foot Pole shirts …

All at our store

So, now it is finally time to take it a little easier. Touring-wise that is. Because we still have some fun shows lined up the next months (see below) and we can finally get back to working on our new songs.

We have returned safely from the land of pizza and pasta. We had a fabulous time with our friends in Onoda playing shows, checking out Rome and Bologna, and hanging at the beach and Autogrill. Thanks to No Reason Records, Indiebox Eventi and all promoters and people at the shows for making this happen!

So, now it’s time to sit still? Still not! Up next we have 2 things: a show in Capelle on October 11 and a 2 week tour to France, Spain and Portugal from October 16 on. It’s been too long since we played Spain and Portugal, so we can’t wait to back there! Check all details below, see you at a show!

We’re still enjoying the nice afterglow of our tour with Ten Foot Pole. For those who feel or want to feel the same we have a peculiar deal. Ten Foot Pole left us some shirts to sell, so in case you missed the shows or forgot to get a souvenir, here is your chance! We have tour shirts featuring both bands and the Ten Foot Pole “godfather design”. We made some nice packages to make it extra worthwhile. VERY limited stock I must add, and webshop only, we don’t bring this to shows …
