Just a short one this time to let you know we just got some new merch in today. To keep all you kids warm for the oncoming winter we have some new zippers, hoodies and, well.. shirts and girlies as well. We actually already had these shirts earlier on, but we decided to print them on girlies and hoodies as well, and have a nice extra front-print on the zippers.

This here is the main print:

and this here is the extra front-print on the zippers:

If you're feeling warm, try our new, refreshing shirts
If you're feeling cold, come on and head over to our cosy, warm merch section

Oh, and we still have some leftovers of our previous designs. Most of them are still available in just one size. Like it? Make sure to be quick. We're running out of stock

On August 5 we played with Propagandhi in Belgium and I’m still creaming my pants when I’m thinking back on that show…  thanks to Bram and everyone of Heartbreak Tunes for taking good care of us. Thanks to all our friends and familiar faces who were at the show. Thanks to Propagandhi for being who they are, especially Chris for looking like…

Some might know we always carry a bookdistro to our shows. It was very inspiring to see so many people who were interested in the books at the Propagandhi show. It’s an extra boost to keep on doing the distro and get more books in stock. If you are interested, feel free to check out www.typewriterdistro.org

Some time ago we said Suzette’s pregnancy isn’t going very well and therefor we had to cancel some shows. We’re completely overwhelmed by all heartwarming messages we got from people all over the world. I feel I owe these people a little update: things are not going much better with Suzette, but she’s also not really sick. We can’t handle the situation a bit better now than a couple of months ago. The baby is really healthy and can be born any day now, we can’t wait!

While we are working on upcoming tours and playing shows this summer, we found some spare time to work on this site. In addition to the show archive , we finally put up some pictures of our latest trips. In the photos section we've added these albums: give it a name fest, germany / austria june 2008, germany / italy / switserland juli 2008

The last set of pictures was taken on our first ever trip with Pitter on bass. Willem already introduced him in an update . This is your chance to see the man in action

See it all in the photos section

In case you have any pretty (or less pretty) pictures of our shows, we'd be delighted to receive a copy in our mailbox 

And already a new update. We plan on giving you more and more (smaller) updates, in stead of drowning you in huge updates once a month. We'll see if it works. For now we have a shows archive to announce. If you visit the shows section and you scroll down you can check the shows we have done in the past. Maybe the archive is not 100% complete,  but it's close enough and we'll improve it. If you miss something, let us know. For now it shows we have done over 300 shows in 7 years.

Secondly we added some shows across the Atlantic after this summer. We'll be going on tour with One Win Choice from New Jersey, check them out here. That's it!

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!
